It's close as I really like them both, but I've gone with Can't Fight The Moonlight.

Leann - brilliant crafted pop.

Have I missed #3?

No you haven't missed #3, I skipped it intentionally.

The #3 song in both the UK and Australia was the same song, Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Kylie Minogue. So I thought it pointless having a poll with the same song. 🙂

It's why I started the polls at #26 instead of #25, to ensure I still did 25 rounds.

Ill be starting 2002 Year Ends tomorrow! 😃

Voted for 'Can't Fight The Moonlight'

I would've voted for Kylie in the Kylie vs. Kylie battle x

LeAnn Rimes!

Quite similar tastes in Australia and the UK that year then with Shaggy and Kylie both top three.

I mean it would’ve been a tough choice, but in the end I would’ve voted for Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. I prefer that slightly, compared to Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.

Tough but will give it to 'Can't Fight The Moonlight'. It's indeed a stellar pop song and Coyote Ugly is a great film too.

I love both, but I think LeAnn has this one for me!

As with the other poll against Hear'Say, Shaggy wins this for me.

Shaggy for me.
