ERIC PRYDZ: Call On Me
SEX sells and this single is a good example. Hogging the top spot for five weeks, this unlikely hit with the raunchy exercise video started as an mp3 in the hands of only a few select DJs, before rocker Steve Winwood gave clearance for one of his tracks to be used by Swedish-born Eric, who looped it into a post-summer anthem.
EAMON: F**k It (I Don't Want You Back)
WHO ever thought that an emotionally charged profanity-packed ballad would be one of the biggest sellers of the year? Simple and hard-hitting, this song about the bitter break-up of a love relationship stayed at No 1 for four weeks. But it wasn't the end -- it was soon toppled by his so-called ex, Frankee with F.U.R.B.
USHER: Burn
BURN was his second single off the superb album, Confessions. The song is about the pain, confusion, and regret that accompany a break-up. The truth in the words and heartfelt emotions is evident in the huge popularity it has received.
KYLIE: I Believe In You
AFTER the disappointing Body Language album it seemed Kylie was on the wane again before she came storming back with this atmospheric slice of disco magic. One of two new songs featured on her best of collection Ultimate Kylie, I Believe In You, written and produced by Jake Shears and Babydaddy from the Scissor Sisters, sits easily alongside some of the singer's greatest moments.
