For Artful Dodger in 2001, Think About Me is defintiely better than Twentyfourseven

Starlight by Supermen Lovers is a massive classic!

These three the best out of it:

2 Supermen Lovers Ft Mani Hoffman - Starlight

4 Uncle Kracker - Follow Me

7 Eve Ft Gwen Stefani - Let Me Blow Ya Mind

Horrible #1.

Also Five coming to the end of their chart career and Blue only really starting.

UK top 10 this week in 2000 (I realise the 00, 05, 10 and 15 years are also covered in the UK chart thread too lol)

1 Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight)

2 Kylie Minogue - On A Night Like This

3 S Club 7 - Natural

4 Sonique - Sky

5 Aurora Ft Naimee Coleman - Ordinary World

6 Sugababes - Overload

7 Vanessa Amorosi - Absolutely Everybody

8 Wyclef Jean Ft The Rock and Melky Sedeck - It Doesn't Matter

Good timing for Element Four to come up as the new series of Big Brother U.K. starts next week! That has no right being such a banger tbh.

My other biggest highlights are courtesy of Modjo and Sugababes

'On A Night Like This' and 'Sky' are both good follow-ups to big #1 hits though.

I also think 'Natural' is quite an underrated S Club single. Rachel shines in her rare turn at leading a song and the oboe is quite a standout instrument.

'Absolutely Everybody' is pretty euphoric too. My clubbercise instructor had a phase of including it in her classes for a little while *.*

I don't immediately recall how the Sash! and Wyclef songs go. I knew the Aurora version of 'Ordinary World' before the original, thanks to the Now! series, but got to the Duran Duran one eventually and adore it nowadays. In fact it's probably their best song for me. So I don't really seek out the cover any longer.

Gonna do a rating this time as this is a fab top 10 actually.

1 Modjo - Lady (Hear Me Tonight) 9/10

2 Kylie Minogue - On A Night Like This 10/10

3 S Club 7 - Natural 7.5/10

4 Sonique - Sky 9.5/10

5 Aurora Ft Naimee Coleman - Ordinary World 9/10

6 Sugababes - Overload 9/10

7 Vanessa Amorosi - Absolutely Everybody 10/10

8 Wyclef Jean Ft The Rock and Melky Sedeck - It Doesn't Matter 6/10

9 Element Four - Big Brother UK TV Theme 9/10

10 Sash! - With My Own Eyes 8.5/10

Paolo 41 with 'Last Request' due to X Factor the weekend before!

'Empire State Of Mind' and 'Sweet Disposition' climbing up or climbing into the top 10 was positive highlights that week.

Shakira a big fave and IGF - though it did suffer from overkill obviously.

Wow 16 years ago! This brings back so many memories, I was 21 at the time.

'She Wolf' is a big favourite for me too! I still find it so random that the lead singer of The Bravery was one of the writers on it

'Empire State of Mind' and 'Sweet Disposition' are my other highlights from that top 10.

Break Your Heart & Run This Town are two songs I still listen to quite regularly. So they’d be my pick of the bunch from this list.

Pixie Lott's 'Boys and Girls' was such a disappointment for me at the time compared to 'Mama Do'.

'Sexy Chick' I soon got bored of at the time although now I appreciate the possible 90s eurodance influence of the synth riff. Both Guetta and Akon had better songs though.

'Sweet Disposition', one of the last big indie hits of the 00s.

Dirty Cash by Adventures of Stevie V on its first revival in the charts via the Dizzee Rascal track, the second revival was last year with PAWSA.

Strong Top 10 at the time. 'Dirtee Cash' is kinda dated now.

Poor 'Empire State of Mind'. Never got to #1.

From top 40 I like only Little Boots - Remedy.

You never hear 'Break Your Heart' anywhere now, although 'Dynamite' still feels really quite well-remembered.
