‘Last One Standing’ marked the arrival of the next big pop phenomenon…if you could hear it over the sound of Simon Cowell’s ego.
Delta Goodrem – Lost Without You
Stepping away from Nina Tucker for a moment, ‘Lost Without You’ was a brilliant slice of angsty teen pop music from Delta Goodrem.
Backstreet Boys – The One
‘The One’ was never actually planned to be a single. That is, until Nick Carter made a call that changed the Backstreet Boys’ destiny.
Kylie Minogue – Love At First Sight
‘Love At First Sight’ is a one-of-a-kind pop song; a moment in time from an artist at the height of her powers.
Emma Bunton – Crickets Sing For Anamaria
Just when it looked like Emma Bunton couldn’t put a foot wrong with her second album, along came an unexpectedly divisive fourth single.
Steps – Here and Now
‘Here and Now’ was very much the silver lining to an ominous cloud that was starting to gather over Steps.
Gina G – Ti Amo
‘Ti Amo’ marked that most cherished rite of passage for Gina G: an obligatory diversion into Latin-tinged pop music.
S Club – Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You
Although ‘Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You’ was to be S Club’s final single, at least they were considerate enough to warn us beforehand.
Atomic Kitten – It’s OK!
The lead single from Atomic Kitten’s second album might have been called ‘It’s OK!’, but they needn’t have been so modest.
Precious – Say It Again
With the UK consistently performing well at Eurovision (yes, really), the stage was set for Precious to become our latest success…
BBMak – Still On Your Side
BBMak had already conquered America by the time they released their second single. Now, they just needed to land another hit in the UK.
Vanilla – True To Us
Whether Vanilla were a joke or not, ‘True To Us’ was an unexpected second single in that it’s actually almost quite…good?
