September 26Sep 26 Shane's version of 'I'm Your Man', that Children In Need was really getting into the Alfie/Kat storyline when Alf disrupted Kat and Andy's wedding. In the music video there was no Jessie Wallace.
September 26Sep 26 Author 5 Mis-Teeq - ScandalousEasily the best thing they did in my view.4 Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called LoveThey went off the boil quickly after seeming like they were going to be megastars. This remains a great song.
September 26Sep 26 Author 3 Electric Six - Danger! High VoltageI love this - it’s up with the very quirkiest Top 3 hits.2 Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A RiverHis first 3 hits all reached #2 and were all brilliant, but this was the very best.
September 26Sep 26 Author 1 Dido - White FlagI loved the “No Angel” album but it didn’t have a single that stood out as her signature song - in fact my favourite track is the album track “Take My Hand” which won Bop Idol. But this lead from “Life For Rent” has everything and is definitely peak Dido.And just because the list includes a few of my favourite hits of the year I’m going to rank the #3s too tomorrow!
September 26Sep 26 There may have been a few great #3s in 2003, but 2004 was an even better year for them - despite (or maybe because of?) the presence of 'Insania'!

September 26Sep 26 'White Flag' really has become such an enduring classic, that's a good example of how you smash it with a lead single following such a huge first era.
September 27Sep 27 Author The poor #3s:25 The Cheeky Girls - Hooray Hooray (It's A Cheeky Holiday)24 Westlife - Tonight / Miss You Nights23 Ronan Keating - The Long Goodbye22 The Cheeky Girls - Take Your Shoes Off21 Blazin' Squad - We Just Be Dreamin'
September 27Sep 27 'White Flag' is a great pick of top #2, what a beauty I've come to appreciate both that and also the quirky 'Danger! High Voltage' more and more over the years.Also love quite a few others in the list but especially 'Cry Me A River', 'Scandalous', 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex' and 'No Good Advice'. That Mis-Teeq song was one of the first in my record collection, as I went to a charity shop on the day I got my first record player and picked up both that and 'Movin' Too Fast' by Artful Dodger on 12" vinyl.

September 27Sep 27 I think 'Take Your Shoes Off' is quite alright by them, although admittedly not something I'd really go out of my way to listen to.'Sunshine' is his best for me (in admittedly a very small pool of one or two)'Feel Good Time's is underrated, although I noticed it's currently being used in an advert.
September 27Sep 27 Author The pretty good:15 Girls Aloud - Life Got Cold14 Robbie Williams - Something Beautiful13 Sean Paul - Like Glue12 Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go11 Busta Rhymes And Mariah Carey Featuring The Flipmode Squad - I Know What You Want
September 27Sep 27 And I thought the #1s of the year were poor!Can't argue with your top 5 #2s although I don't care that much for Scandalous, think the other 4 would make up mine too, with either No Good Advice or the Darkness Christmas offering being the other.In the main rank, it's all in the nice enough section at the moment. I'd probably rank BEPs higher but it's not something I've listened to for ages, and I did go on to love Ignition (Remix) :| Like Glue my pick of the #3s so far
September 27Sep 27 Author The good:10 Stereophonics - Maybe Tomorrow9 Busted - Sleeping With The Light On8 Alex Parks - Maybe That's What It Takes7 Oasis - Songbird6 Jurgen Vries Featuring CMC - The Opera Song (Brave New World)

September 27Sep 27 Author 5 Richard x Vs Liberty X - Being NobodyThis is how to do a cover - strong production4 Christina Aguilera - FighterWhat a powerhouse of a track.
September 27Sep 27 Fast Food Rockers that high up 😮😮😄I largely agree with the list of number twos, I'd put dannii a bit higher and Rock Your Body would be top 5 instead of Misteeq, as would Justin's first single if it peaked a bit later and The Darkness would be lower. Top 3, though, spot on - I wouldn't even change the order, and they were all personal chart-toppers. Fabulous.
September 27Sep 27 Author I love the fact that all this Top 3 climbed to their peak, which was still very rare in 2003 and sometimes was the mark of a song being much better than the market had expected.3 Jamelia - SuperstarWhat a way to resurrect a career.2 50 Cent - In Da ClubOne of the most infectious and cleverest songs of its kind ever.
