Roba.

Sorry Ronan but Shakira easily wins here but am one of very few who does like ITNC to a degree.

Nothing else of note with that's dropped out so far but I do quite like 'Give It To Me' - though prefer the other one still to come!

#1311st ; 18/32 Votes Linkin Park win out in this batch with the fourth and final single from their debut album Hybrid Theory from 2001. It was the first single of the bands to break the top 40 in the US and got to number 2 while peaking at 8 in the UK. Originally Chester didn't like the song and didn't want it to be on their album but the success proves how wrong he was. As of December 2025 it ranks among the top 50 most streamed songs of all time. It re-entered the charts in 2017 following Chester's sad passing. 2nd ; 14/32 VotesImproving on it's 6th finish in No.17 EOY is Girls Aloud with their 4th chart topper 'The Promise' and finish off runner up. Featuring a drive in movie theatre reminiscent of the 50s and 60s and in black and white paying homage to acts such as The Supremes. The song won the Brit Award for song of the year in 2009 and is forever remembered for the unforgettable vocal delivery by the late Sarah Harding with the lyric 'Here I Am Walking Primrose'! -- 3rd: Keane - Spiralling 20/32 votes (63%) 4th: Kandi - Don’t Think I’m Not 16/33 votes (48%) 5th: Hard-Fi - Suburban Knights 12/27 votes (44%) 6th: Will Young - Switch It On 10/30 votes (33%) 7th: Bryan Adams - Here I Am 12/26 votes (46%) 8th: Atomic Kitten - Love Doesn’t Have To Hurt 9/28 votes (32%) 9th: Embrace - World At Your Feet 8/26 votes (31%) 10th: R Kelly - Happy People / U Saved Me 21/29 votes (72%)

'Cacklin Rosie' is preferable to 'Sweet Caroline' for me which I like too but get tired of hearing understandably.

Cant really fault any of that top 3. All memorable and great in their own ways. Britney's like others say is one of the greatest launching pads for a new artist and the video is classic too. Eiffel 65 a major banger though I did prefer 'Move Your Body' slightly more at the time but both are really fun. ATB is great dance anthem for a reason too. One of the best of that year for sure. -- 1 Blondie - Maria 2 Robbie Williams - She's The One / It's Only Us 3 Five - Keep On Movin 4 Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time 5 Vengaboys - Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom 6 Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way 7 Fatboy Slim - Praise You 8 Eiffel 65 - Blue (Da Ba Dee 9 Christina Aguilera - Genie In A Bottle 10 S Club 7 - Bring It All Back 11 Vengaboys - We're Going To Ibiza 12 Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen 13 Geri Halliwell - Mi Chico Latino 14 Geri Halliwell - Lift Me Up 15 Shanks & Bigfoot - Sweet Like Chocolate 16 ATB - 9PM (Till I Come) 17 Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca 18 The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For A White Guy 19 Ronan Keating - When You Say Nothing At All 20 Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away 21 B*Witched - Blame It On The Weatherman 22 Armand Van Helden feat.

Certainly Lose Yourself here.

'Genie In A Bottle' is fab. Was a strong introduction for Christina and Baz is one I dont check too much of but is iconic nonetheless!

'Kiss Kiss'

+5 Merry Christmas Everyone +4 Underneath The Tree +3 Fairytale Of New York +2 All I Want For Christmas Is You +1 Rockin Around The Christmas Tree -1 Driving Home For Christmas -2 Step Into Christmas -3 XMAS -4 Jingle Bell Rock -5 Last Christmas

I like 'Heartbeat' and think it's one Steps better efforts. 'Tragedy' less keen on though.

I'll give it to 'Tribute' this time as it's only appearance in one of these and is enjoyable for me.

'Shapeshifting..' ❤️

'I Want It That Way' is superb. Definitely the best they did but they have several other good'uns too.

I rather like 'Stronger'. One of my faves from him tbh!

Nelly for me!

Atomic Kitten for me.

Shame 'Sports Car' didn't make the top 20 , a big bop. Great to see lots of Tate in the top 100 this year too.

'Abracadabra' a bop.

Like all of those in the top 3 but would have Sophie on top for myself!

Culture Club would be my next pointer!

'Maria' ❤️ what a comeback from Blondie. Would be in my top 5 I'd say!

Cheeky Girls. It's a bit of fun and listening to the other one and I'm not a fan of the voice oops.

'Keep On Movin' is one of the best boyband songs ever <3 deservingly top 10 for you!
