90. Nickleback // How You Remind Me // February 2002 Peak: #2 Weeks on Chart: 19 Points: 573 How You Remind Me is a fantastic record. A really, really, really fantastic one in the discography of one of my least favourite bands of all-time no less they have maybe two other songs I've found bearable but other wise Nickleback are a completely lost cause for me. I recall the first time I ever heard 'How You Remind Me', on Radio 1 on the car journey to school where I was in Year Five at the time. It was like no record I'd ever heard before and a very powerful one - it's only occasionally a song has grabbed me as instantly and effectively as How You Remind Me managed to do when I was just ten years old 1cQh1ccqu8M

01. Higher (The ultimate Saturday's song - what a tune) 02. Up (The one that made me fall in love with them) 03. My Heart Takes Over (Unpopular opinion maybe but I think it's lovely) 04. Not That Kind of Girl (SO much better than Notorious, which is pretty good itself) 05. One Shot (7th heaven radio mix) 06. Karma 07. Ready to Rise 08. Ego 09. Faster 10. Wordshaker 11. Lose Control 12. All Fired Up 13. Lady Killer

Hope it's Top 100 by the morning! Top 100 without airplay is amazing, hopefully the airplay will be decent and it'll take off.

I hope Kiss You clings to it's top ten position - too good to miss it

I know it's nearly three years old here now but I think maybe Higher should be the next US single, it seems to be the one getting the most attention from new US fans who have discovered the rest of their songs. They could release the Flo Rida mix if they needed too as well

I thought so too. Shame as the others, particularly Rochelle and Mollie, were really good

A possible Justin and 50 Cent top 2? We appear to have travelled back in time to 2003

I don't understand this chart? How the hell are Lawson at 17 when they missed the T100 and are only in the low 50's on the Itunes chart?

One Shot is JLS's best song by a country mile

Really hope it happens, if they get onto to Hot 100 will that make them the first British girlband since The Spice Girls or All Saints to do that? That would be a very good achievement

Wow. Thanks for commenting that certainly is a fair amount of them!

91. Tinchy Stryder // Number One // April 2009 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 22 Points: 572 Proof that everyone, even Dappy, has at least one good song I really should have known better than to like this at the time, I remember my brother was about 13/14 at the time and he and all of his friends were into N-Dubz, Tinchy, Taio Cruz and Chipmunk at the time acts I never really cared for but there was something about Number One that I really, really liked. I still to this day can't really fathom why; I don't like Tinchy much and I down right hated Dappy and N-Dubz so it really remains a mystery. I suppose the vocals are bareable, the instrumental is quite good and the I really like the addition of the violins I suppose. Still, a guilty pleasure if ever there was one LJsVDH-3b3Y

092. The Black Eyed Peas // Shut Up // December 2003 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 24 Points: 567 10 years on and I wish Will.i.am would shut up and go away December 2003 saw me three months into high school education going through a period of trying to be cool and be in with the cool crowd, at the time everyone was obsessed with The Black Eyed Peas and Elephunk was the album to have at the time but my parents wouldn't let me get it because of the parental advisory label on the front of it. I was gutted but in a smart move my parents decided to buy it for my older brother and I stole it, I remember it being my favourite album for about two months and Shut Up was my favourite songs. Listening to it now it sounds VERY dated but I still love it even if I was completely over B.E.P by 2006 KRzMtlZjXpU

Paloma's debut is the better of her two albums but I do love Fall to Grace. Hope that creeps it's way in eventually

093. A1 // Caught In The Middle // January 2002 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 22 Points: 566 SECOND BEST BOYBAND SONG OF THE DECADE As I mentioned in "Same Old Brand New You" A1, in my eyes, were only ever good for two songs that and this absolute masterpiece. Boyband's often displease me greatly but occasionally they throw up surprisingly fantastic songs (this has happened once again recently with One Directions's "Kiss You" though that's still a million miles away from this in terms of quality). What I kind of always liked about A1 was how they were kind of the underdogs in the boyband scene of the time trailing behind Westlife, Blue and Five in the girls affections and maybe it's for this reason I look back on their good moments as fondly as I do qz57Ucb02yo

094. Sugababes // Shape // March 2003 Peak: #3 Weeks on Chart: 19 Points: 565 Damn butterflies It's funny the affect your parents can have on your music taste really. I was brought up on Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Madonna through my mother and Bon Jovi, REM and U2 through my father which is why I suppose my music taste is so damn broad. "Shape" was my mother's favourite song from the Angels with the Dirty Faces album which my elder sister Heather was a big fan of in 2002 and when my mum learnt how to burn CD's she put this on and played it too us all the time in the car and in time I grew to love it, I didn't like it at first and considered it boring preferring to more obvious Round Round but in time I came to appreciate this (and Stronger) as the best songs from that era IpzFuRQ-1hY

095. Kelly Clarkson // My Life Would Suck Without You // March 2009 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 20 Points: 561 I genuinally do think my life would suck without Kelly Clarkson I am one of the biggest Kelly stan's on the planet. I have loved her since I first heard Miss Independant on Top of the Tops some Friday September night in 2003 and from then on in she hasn't put a foot wrong with me, well except for Walk Away but I can get passed that (though for the record the fact You Found Me was never released still irks me to this day). Anyway, by 2009 I can appreciate the old Kelly formula may have been tiring for everyone but me and I do like the fact she has a nice poppy song in her discography that isn't about a break up and MLWSWY is a VERY good pop song. All in all, I prefer bitter angry Kelly but happy lovie Kelly was good too but I am glad she returned to her roots with the Stronger album Earlier I thanked S Club 7 for my awesome childhood and I would now like to thank Kelly Clarkson for my awesome teenage years cRM70Jw7F4M

096. Shakira // Whenever, Wherever // February 2002 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 21 Points: 559 "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains" :blink: Shakira, Shakira, Shakira. I'm pretty sure ten year old boys shouldn't have lusted after a woman this much, and I'd only just turned ten at this point in time mind, but I was just completely fascinated by her in this music video. I recall Britney Spears, my first big crush, was going through her sexy reinvention at the time but after I saw this it all became about Shakira for me, well for 3 months until I got bored of this song anyway. Listening to this now I really fail to understand how it achieved such a high peak and stayed on the chart for so many weeks, don't get me wrong it's a great pop song but not THAT great, and I can only assume (as I measure my chart based on how many times I listen to songs per week) that 10 year old Justin kept this on the TV everytime it was on and it was on A LOT at the time weRHyjj34ZE

097. Will Young // Leave Right Now // November 2003 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 18 Points: 554 The sad thing is I have been to an office party like the one in that video :unsure: So it's November 2003. Darius is all but forgotten and Gareth's new album has dissapointed me greatly, and it's time for Will to step into the limelight for me. Young wasn't a favourite of mine in 2002's Pop Idol I, and I seem to recall most people my age, much preferred Gareth and was rooting for him to win. Back in 2002 Pop Idol and the whole singing reality television show was still new and exciting, not as contrived as now and Simon Cowell was the most evil man in the world to me back then. I hadn't been pleased when Will young and I was happy that Gareth outshone him for the rest of 2002 as I much preferred his music and hated Will's. "Leave Right Now" opened my eyes to Will and made me realize that, in that case, the most talented guy really did and from here on out I was a Will Young fan (of sorts) WbrSLLv0AlA

098. S Club 7 // Reach // June 2000 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart: 17 Points: 552 Everyone has those songs that just makes them :) In my commentaries for both "Don't Stop Moving" and "Have You Ever" I mentioned that as a child of the late 90's/early 00's it was pretty much impossible NOT to be into S Club 7. It's seems so odd to say now but I recall the people who didn't like SC7 were branded as 'uncool' in the school playground - don't you just love 9 year old logic - but I was totally into them. I can see what they were now; a completely manufactured business singing cheesy pop songs but they were my childhood. I may find the music cheesy as hell now but at the same time it awakens the child in me, takes me back to a time when your biggest worry was if your crayola crayon broke and just makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and happy on the inside. You'd struggle to find someone born between 1990 and 1995 who wouldn't agree with me on that one So here's to S Club 7 - Thanks for the amazing childhood guys! Tgu56ur7LIw

099. P Diddy feat. Christina Aguilera // Tell Me // November 2006 Peak: #2 Weeks on Chart: 20 Points: 542 Sometimes the unexpected collaboration's are the best 2006 saw difficult times for both Diddy and Aggy in my charts; I'd never really liked any P. Diddy record before. I remember being quite fond of "I'll Be Missing You" as a child but nothing Mr. Combes has done since impressed me like this did. Aguilera was a different case; I'd really, really liked her up until 2006 but I really had not taken to Aint No Other Man so she'd fallen from my affections a little bit (This was literally 2 weeks before I heard "Hurt" mind) so Tell Me was kind of a blessing. I don't think it's a particular favourite amongst either's fan base and it's largely forgotten now but I bloody love it and, though Christina has since come back into my affections, Diddy has had one good song since this - "Coming Home" in 2011 - which to be honest was largely down to Skyler Grey rather than Diddy himself; the same can be said for Tell Me now I think about it aOKXzt1DgDY

100. Vanessa Carlton // A Thousand Miles // November 2002 Peak: #1 Weeks on Chart:18 Points: 540 "Mum, I'm just taking the piano for a drive" A Thousand Miles, along with songs such as Dj Sammy's "Heaven", Girls Aloud's "Sound of the Underground" and Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi", is a song I define as being the last of my childhood classics. A great time to be young too in terms of music as pop ruled the airways from The Spice Girls in 1996 right through to the end of 2004 when we all started to go a bit indie like Kylie circa 1994. A Thousand Miles is a simple little pop song but it's a lovely one and one I still whack on from time to time these days; I do that with most of the Top 100 to be honest Cwkej79U3ek

Eugh, The Sweet Escape is a decent song but way so overplayed in British school playground culture at the time. Then again it was the first time people were able to have music on their phones
