Hello and welcome to the 2002 edition of Year End Battle: UK vs AUS.

I thought it might be a bit of fun to go back to the year end charts from the UK and Australia from throughout the 00's and do a head to head battle with each position in the top 25 of the years chart. The aim is to vote for your favourite song of the two in each poll. I've chosen the top 25 as that means we won't finish with a tie, like we would with the top 20 or 10.

Each day I'll start a new poll climbing one position higher to the #1 single battle.

Hopefully by the end of this game we can see whether our Buzzjack community preferred the UK's year end chart or Australia's.

*It's also worth noting that the same song can feature twice, but given it'll always most likely be going against a different song I don't see an issue with it.

**It's also worth noting that in this and future series I will be diving a little deeper than the top 25. This is only used in instances when the same song charts in the same position on both charts. In 2002 this happens twice. Dilemma was #4 in both UK and Australia and A Little Less Conversation was #5 in both the UK and Australia. So for that reason I will be skipping over both of them and starting the countdown two places lower at #27.

Kicking things off with the **27th best selling song of the year we have.

Representing the UK year end charts: - Nelly: Hot In Here

Dirrty

Hot In Herre, great party anthem. Was fun seeing it live in the summer.

Gonna hand this to the crunk anthem 'Hot In Here'!

I've gone for Dirrty and whilst I like both songs neither would be in my top 3 for each artist respectively.

Hot In Herre but only just.

Voted Nelly.

'Dilemma' vs. 'Dilemma' would have caused a... dilemma.

Christina Aguilera
