Kandi – Don’t Think I’m Not
‘Don’t Think I’m Not’ was Kandi’s moment to step into the spotlight after helping create several chart-topping hits for other artists.

BBMak – Back Here
‘Back Here’ wasn’t a hit when it was originally released in the UK, but that didn’t stop BBMak casually conquering America in the meantime.
*NSYNC – It’s Gonna Be Me
‘It’s Gonna Be Me’ siphoned the essence of *NSYNC’s ‘No Strings Attached album’ down into an immense three-and-a-half-minute pop package.
*NSYNC – Thinking Of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)
It was never released in the UK, but the tortuous ‘Thinking Of You (I Drive Myself Crazy)’ is up there as one *NSYNC’s very best efforts.
Celine Dion – That’s The Way It Is
She was synonymous with some of the biggest power ballads of the ’90s. However, Celine Dion’s final single of the decade was anything but…
*NSYNC – Tearin’ Up My Heart
It took two attempts, but ‘Tearin’ Up My Heart’ (eventually) became one of *NSYNC’s earliest hits in the UK
*NSYNC – Pop
‘Pop’ was *NSYNC’s opportunity to hit back at the critics. But their bold new sound spelt the end for pop music as we knew it…
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?
*NSYNC & Gloria Estefan – Music Of My Heart
‘Music Of My Heart’ saw one of America’s hottest boybands unite with a dancefloor diva to unleash…an adult-contemporary ballad.
*NSYNC – I’ll Never Stop
*NSYNC curiously chose to consolidate their comeback in Europe with ‘I’ll Never Stop’, a region-exclusive single penned by the ever-reliable Max Martin
*NSYNC – (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time On You
There’s nothing remotely subtle about any aspect of the single – but it was the ‘90s and subtlety was not a concept that pop acts were required to grasp.
