Which #1 from 2000 was A1 blocked by then?

Fabulous! :o

 

My faves are: All Saints, Groovejet, Sonique, Kylie, Coldplay, Dannii, Steps and Zero 7 :wub:

 

But by far the best is Turn Off The Light :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Excellent so far! :cheer:

Sugababes – Freak Like Me (4 weeks)

 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/ba/Dontchafreaklikme.JPG/200px-Dontchafreaklikme.JPG

 

Mega comback for the Sugababes - a perfect mix of Are Freinds Electric (Gary Numan) and Freak Like Me (Adina Howard). Class!

 

"Any time of day, it's all good for me"

 

 

 

Liberty X – Just A Little (2 weeks)

 

http://www.altnet.com/partners/v2/333227_lib_just_06_01.jpg

 

Proving that rejects can produce great records, Popstars runners up Liberty X propelled their best song to the top of the charts. Sexy vid too!

 

"Its so exciting the way you're inviting me"

 

 

 

Will Young – Light My Fire (3 weeks)

 

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/312MZB3V7ML._AA240_.jpg

 

Will's cover of the Doors classic (actually a cover of cover!) is a smooth summer tune. Much (and unfairly, imo) maligned.

 

"There's no time to wallow in the mire"

Badly Drawn Boy – Something To Talk About (1 week)

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/music/reviews/singles/2002/06/10/something_to_talk_about01.jpg

 

Taken from the soundtrack to the film About A Boy (with the kid from Skins and Hugh Grant) this was the follow up to the excellent Silent Sigh. Pure laid back genius.

 

"They've got to let me in or let me out"

 

 

 

Kylie Minogue – Love At First Sight (2 weeks)

 

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JKXZXC82L._AA240_.jpg

 

Follow up to CGYOOMH, Love At First Sight is as equally excellent, with yet another iconic video.

 

"And the starts came out and filled up the sky"

 

 

 

Elvis vs JXL – A Little Less Conversation (2 weeks)

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/music/reviews/singles/2002/06/10/a_little_less_conversation01.jpg

 

Started off as a NIKE advert, this incredibly funky Elvis remix was a worldwide smash hit. I don't like it as much as I used to...!

 

"A little more action please"

Coldplay – In My Place (4 weeks)

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/music/reviews/singles/2002/08/05/in_my_place01.jpg

 

Denied #1 by Darius. :manson:

 

"Was tired and under-prepared"

 

 

 

Sugababes – Round Round (1 week)

 

http://www.abc.net.au/splatt/review/music/img/slicks/sugaround.jpg

 

This smart sassy song proved that the Sugbabes were not one trick ponies.

 

"Spinning out on me"

 

 

 

Oakenfold – Starry Eyed Surprise (4 weeks)

 

http://www.supermusic.sk/obrazky/42230_Starry%20Eyed%20Surprise.jpg

 

Summery smah from Paul Oakenfold. Sung by the bloke that was on Crazy Town's Butterfly. Easily one of my fave songs of the year.

 

"Ladies of the evening drinking, food and mingling"

Pink – Just Like A Pill (2 weeks)

 

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/4166MH4S1XL._AA240_.jpg

 

Possibly my favourite Pink song - not sure why, it's just a great song!

 

"I tried to call the nurse again, but she's being a little b**ch"

 

 

 

S Club Juniors – New Direction (1 week)

 

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00006L83Q.01._SCMZZZZZZZ_.jpg

 

:blush: Yes I know :( My only defense is that this song is actually really good! Honest. :(

 

"It's too late"

 

 

 

Nelly feat Kelly Rowland – Dilemma (2 weeks)

 

http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/s286544.jpg

 

I almost never like songs of this type, but Nelly's vocals (what IS it with the plaster on his face?!) with Kelly Rowlands fit together perfectly.

 

"No matter what I do, all I think about is you"

Coldplay – The Scientist (2 weeks)

 

http://www.gatefoldrecords.com/images/parlcdrdjx6588.jpg

 

Stunning song from A Rush Of Blood To The Head, and widely considered to be one of Coldplay's best. The video is amazing - Shot backwards, but sung forwards! So, that means Chris Martin sung it backwards as it was shot forwards. :wacko:

 

"Nobody said it was easy"

 

 

Will Young – You and I (2 weeks)

 

http://images.play.com/covers/108433m.jpg

 

Easily one of my favourite Will songs, was a double A side with Don't Let Me Down, the Children In Need single for 2002.

 

"Can't stop from thinking about you"

 

 

 

Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One (1 week)

 

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41QKV5E408L._AA240_.jpg

 

Beautiful song. Still, it reminds me of being dumped :(

 

"I don't want to run away, but I can't take it, I don't understand"

Eminem – Lose Yourself (1 week)

 

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/38/Eminem_-_Lose_Yourself_CD_cover.jpg/200px-Eminem_-_Lose_Yourself_CD_cover.jpg

 

I reckon either this or Stan is the best Eminem song. Taken from 8 Mile, this is, I thnk, his most serious heartfelt song.

 

"This opportunity comes once in a lifetime"

 

 

 

Atomic Kitten – Be With You (1 week)

 

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00008G9GB.03.MZZZZZZZ.jpg

 

The closest Atomic Kitten ever came to a proper Dance song. Easily their best song - was a double A with The Last Goodbye.

 

"I really want tonight to last forever"

 

 

 

Liberty X – Holding On For You (1 week)

 

http://www.altnet.com/partners/v2/333227_lib_hol2_06_01.jpg

 

Really christmassy. Lovesit! That Irish bloke from Libery X is so fit!

 

"Sunshine fades to grey"

 

 

 

Girls Aloud – Sound Of The Underground (2 weeks in 2002 + 1 week in 2003)

 

http://img.mp3sugar.com/album/cover1588_16133.jpg

 

Eventual Popstars: The Rivals winners to boyband One True Voice. Girls Aloud are now quite rightly the UK's premiere girl group.

 

"The beast goes around and round"

Faithless feat Dido – One Step Too Far

 

http://85.21.19.21/bcovers/alb8109.jpg

David Sneddon – Don’t Let Go (2 weeks)

Jaimeson - Complete

"All around me are familiar faces"

Evanescence - My Immortal... love it, pure class

Jester. You're chart is like amazingg. Slightly more pop-orientated back in the day. But that allows TUNES like Junior Senior to get in.

I shall continue to watch this thread. I like reminiscing on old songs ^_^
