‘Hollywood’ was quickly released to try and rescue the ‘American Life’ album. Instead, it led to one of the most iconic moments of the ’00s.
Kelly Clarkson – Miss Independent
‘Miss Independent’ was a perfect (re)introduction to Kelly Clarkson, even if she wasn’t the first – or second – choice to record it.
Christina Aguilera – I Turn To You
‘I Turn To You’ saw Christina Aguilera resurrect a towering behemoth of glossy mid-‘90s balladry from the ‘Space Jam’ soundtrack(!)
Christina Aguilera – Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)
‘Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)’ is – for better or for worse – the perfect summation of Christina Aguilera as a pop artist.
Mandy Moore – Candy
Mandy Moore’s debut single ‘Candy’ was arguably the truest and most unapologetic representation of the ’90s bubblegum pop sound.
M2M – Don’t Say You Love Me
The Norwegian chart invasion continued in 2000 as M2M arrived with their debut single ‘Don’t Say You Love Me’. Could the power of Pokémon give them a hit?
Ricky Martin & Christina Aguilera – Nobody Wants To Be Lonely
‘Nobody Wants To Be Lonely’ is a heartfelt ballad, where Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera convey emotion by bellowing at each other for four minutes.
Christina Aguilera – What A Girl Wants
What A Girl Wants finds Christina Aguilera reiterating to her beau that even though he’s horny as hell, she is definitely not going past second base.
