June 15Jun 15 9 hours ago, gooddelta said:11 Girls Aloud - Biology (deserves the 11 for pushing commercial pop boundaries in the mid 00s, amazing single and should have been a No.1)07 Sugababes - Red Dress (solid but Xenomania have better on this album)09 Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? (such a statement pop single, love the structure and vocals)07 The Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha (feat. Busta Rhymes) (iconic and an earworm, but not a huge personal favourite)09 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick (loved Charlotte's eventual pivot into pop following the CMC trance alias)08 Britney Spears - Toxic (legendary, but never been an absolute top favourite of mine...still, giving it below 8 feels like something I cannot do)08 Ashlee Simpson - Boyfriend (I did like Ashlee's output, this deserved to go top ten)04 P!nk - Trouble (I didn't like this very much, I'd sooner even listen to the Shakin' Stevens cover, quite a weak lead single after an amazing prior era for me)08 t.A.T.u. - All About Us (written by The Veronicas, it does feel a bit like one of their cast-offs but I enjoyed it)09 Rachel Stevens - Some Girls (from a fantastic cult pop album, Rachel (or her songwriters and producers) did good)09 Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling) (I know it's unfashionable to give a cover such a high mark but I just loved how effortlessly they did this, and loved the new middle eight, happy memories)07 Louise - Pandora's Kiss (twinned with Don't Give Up, which was words written to the Asda advert theme tune (!), so I used to hear that one at work a lot. This is better)09 Dannii Minogue & The Soul Seekerz - Perfection (a no.1 in my chart! Loved Dannii's AATW dance era a lot)06 Mis-teeq - Can't Get It Back (the least essential Mis-teeq single for me)08 Lindsay Lohan - Over (I actually bought this one at the time, I enjoyed Lindsay's sidestep into pop-rock)08 Nelly Furtado - Turn Off the Light (great follow-up to I'm Like A Bird, love the tongue twister 'follow me, follow me, follow me down...)06 Ciara - Goodies (feat. Petey Pablo) (fine but I prefer 1, 2 Step)08 Amerie - 1 Thing (brilliant brass)07 Rihanna - Pon De Replay (catchy and strong debut but she quickly bettered it, it did feel like she could be a one (big) hit wonder for a bit until SOS)Loving your commentary on ye tracks @gooddelta.

June 17Jun 17 NB learning that Shakin' Stevens did a cover of Trouble was definitely my biggest takeaway reading through the thread.

She had OHW written all over her until SOS - and even then maybe a two-hit-wonder. Unfaithful (and it’s success) was the single that made me think she could be here to stay for a little while at least.

SOS and Unfaithful was a great one-two punch to make a statement after the fairly middling follow up singles from the debut album. Unfaithful was the first one of hers I personally loved (and bought).

I never saw her being anywhere close to as big as she got until Umbrella happened! Edited June 19Jun 19 by Juranamo

June 21Jun 21 11 Girls Aloud - Biology - As mentioned before, this song, breaking the traditional norm of the construction of the "traditional pop song" at the time was just exceptional. Will forever be my highlight of theirs because honestly, the video compliments the song perfectly. A little rough around the edges, but a whole lot of fun. Perfection, no notes.10 Sugababes - Red Dress 10 Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? - What an amazing 3 song run to open an album.-1 The Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha (feat. Busta Rhymes) Ew. Egomaniac Nicole and friends. No thanks. 09 Charlotte Church - Crazy Chick10 Britney Spears - Toxic - Will forever be noted as a highlight for all pop music.10 Ashlee Simpson - Boyfriend - She had some really great singles 08 P!nk - Trouble - LOVE pink. This song however, will never stand out as a defining moment of hers but it's still pleasant enough. 09 t.A.T.u. - All About Us - So want to give this a 10, but when I compare it to the others already given the top scores, it doesn't quite match.06 Rachel Stevens - Some Girls - I love her. She has some fantastic music. I've just always found this quite meh tbh.08 Atomic Kitten - The Tide Is High (Get The Feeling)04 Louise - Pandora's Kiss - I like her, but this just does nothing for me at all. 07 Dannii Minogue & The Soul Seekerz - Perfection06 Mis-teeq - Can't Get It Back07 Lindsay Lohan - Over09 Nelly Furtado - Turn Off the Light - See t.A.T.u, exact same comment.09 Ciara - Goodies (feat. Petey Pablo)10 Amerie - 1 Thing - Just love this. Not many songs, especially at the time, that I could compare it to. Unique and best played loud! 08 Rihanna - Pon De Replay

20 hours ago20 hr Late to the party again!
