Atomic Kitten – You Are

‘You Are’ was a surefire hit to round off Atomic Kitten’s debut album…but ended up not being released at all in the UK.

With a writing credit on ‘Call My Name’, this may be our only glimpse at what Charlotte Church’s pop career could’ve been.

‘Take My Breath Away’ is one of Emma Bunton’s biggest hits, which makes it all the more surprising that it’s so often overlooked.

‘Give Me A Reason’ was Triple Eight’s crowning glory, arriving at a time when – by rights – it probably shouldn’t have existed at all.

Triple Eight sought to fill the boyband void with their debut single ‘Knockout’. But were they punching above their weight?

‘Swear It Again’ was the start of a new era for pop music and there was no stopping Westlife as they showcased a tried-and-tested formula.

Kate Winslet might be a one-hit-wonder, but that was entirely her own choice because ‘What If’ is an epic debut single.

‘World Of Our Own’ was the perfect summation for this era of Westlife’s career as they broke free of the balladry that once defined them.
