Can't Stop The Pop - Same old brand new tunes!

Ultra – Rescue Me

‘Rescue Me’ gave Ultra their first top ten single. But, rather ironically, that still wasn’t enough to save them.

‘Save Our Love’ was a product of record label contingency planning that Eternal didn’t need. All the same, this was too good not to release.

The final single from Lene Marlin’s debut album is another journey into the depths of a complex, talented teenage mind.

The final Christmas chart battle of the millennium(!) saw Steps enter the fray with their take on a Kylie Minogue classic.

‘You’re My Number One’ is indelibly tied to S Club 7’s formative years in look and sound, but established a reliable formula for the group.

‘We’re Not Gonna Sleep Tonight’ was remixed into a Latin-tinged uptempo. But did this girl power anthem sound a bit too familiar?

Rachel Stevens’ second single found her sampling David Bowie. But was this work of pop art just a bit too abstract for the mainstream?

‘Take Me There’ set a new standard for soundtrack singles, fusing cool R&B with…the ‘Rugrats’ theme tune!?

Coming off the back of a greatest hits collection and amid rumours of an impending split, Steps wouldn’t leave us with a ballad…would they?

‘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.

‘Everybody’ marked the launch of Hear’Say’s second album. But coming just eight months after their first, was this too much, too soon?

‘Alive’ ended up serving as more of an epilogue to S Club’s career, but for a brief moment it heralded a new era for the group.
