It's SoundClash!

In this event we celebrate the one hit wonders of the 21st century so far.

In each round, two songs will go head to head to come out on top, with each credited artist only having a single UK Top 40 hit to their name. In each case, you're voting for your favourite song. The winning songs will then go into a grand collection of one hit wonders to be voted for once the opening rounds are complete.

These are the two songs going head to head this round;

Andreas Johnson – Glorious {#4, 2000} 🇸🇪

Andreas Johnson is a Swedish singer-songwriter who achieved a European hit at the turn of the century. He has also competed several times in Sweden’s Melodifestivalen.

Nico & Vinz – Am I Wrong? {#1, 2014} 🇳🇴

Nico & Vinz are a Norwegian duo consisting of Nico Sereba and Vincent Dery, known for their upbeat blend of pop, hip-hop, soul and African influences.

You Decide!

Here is what we have had so far in this series of SoundClash;

Iglu & Hartly vs. ALMA

Vanessa Amorosi vs. Ten Walls

Divine Inspiration vs. Kent Jones

Newton Faulkner vs. Bridgit Mendler

Voting for the glorious Glorious although Am I Wrong is a good track. I remember they were called Envy initially.

Like both of these but giving it to 'Am I Wrong'!

Nico & Vinz for me.

They are both good and nostalgic. I voted for Andreas though.

I swear I have heard the Nico and Vinz style guitar riff in at least one other hit song since! But I can't remember which.

Both are great. Am I Wrong I really loved at the time but if I had to pick one to listen to these days it'd more likely be Glorious.

It sounds a little bit like Little More Love by AJ Tracey to me.

I like them both, but I don't return to one of them anymore really. One option is wrong, the correct option is glorious!

Andreas Johnson

A glorious choice of single from 2000 and a defining song for me too. It was disappointing to see it missed from the Now That's What I Call Music! series, but at least I have it on New Hits 2000.
