Jennifer Lopez - Ain't It Funny (the original song that reached #3 in 2001, not the so-called 're-mix' that reached #4 in 2002 that was actually a totally different song).

I'd have to say that Eamon - F**k It (I Don't Want You Back) is a bit of a forgotten hit (especially given how big it was at the time). I heard it on Radio 1 earlier today and realised that I hadn't heard it in years!

Eddy Grant - Gimme Hope Jo'Anna S*M*A*S*H - (I Want To) Kill Somebody And also Killing In The Name reached #1 as a protest (even though it wasn't recorded as a protest song).

Mason - Perfect (Exceeder)

Heard this song a few years ago, tried to find out what it was, and it turns out that it reached #9 in 1994: 8wOR5-trJbA A couple of others to add: Bell & Spurling - Sven Sven Sven Stuntmasterz - The Ladyboy Is Mine
