‘I Am Blessed’ is – quite simply – one of the best songs Eternal released, delivering a performance easily as good as any by their American counterparts.
D-Side – Real World
‘Real World’ was D-Side’s obligatory ballad for the festive season. But times were changing, and this was a distinctly un-Christmassy affair.
Riva Feat. Dannii Minogue – Who Do You Love Now? (Stringer)
‘Who Do You Love Now? (Stringer)’ was a phenomenal dance comeback for Dannii Minogue and set the tone for her early ’00s career.
Lolly – Big Boys Don’t Cry
But few would have anticipated that Lolly’s festive single ‘Big Boys Don’t Cry’ would transpire to be one of the most chillingly haunting songs of the ‘90s.
LeAnn Rimes – Can’t Fight The Moonlight
She may not have been the obvious choice for the Coyote Ugly soundtrack, but with ‘Can’t Fight The Moonlight’, LeAnn Rimes proved she was the right choice.
Five – Until The Time Is Through
They might have been pop’s biggest rebels in the late ’90s, but even Five didn’t defy convention as they released a slushy ballad just in time for Christmas.
Westlife – When You’re Looking Like That
‘When You’re Looking Like That’ is Westlife’s best single in every respect…except for the fact that it was never credited as a single in the UK at all.

‘Everytime’ set the stage nicely for a1’s debut album, showcasing some credible musicianship behind the boyband fodder façade.
