It might have been a little late to the party, but ‘Summer Of Love’ still managed to put a uniquely Steps-twist on the Latin-pop craze.
S Club 8 – Fool No More
Now the sole group under the S Club-brand, ‘Fool No More’ was surely the moment S Club 8 would ascend to the top of the charts…wasn’t it?
Candice – Hello
Everything about ‘Hello’ suggested Candice had a huge hit on her hands…if only someone could’ve decided when to release it.
Charlotte Church – Crazy Chick
Launching Charlotte Church as a pop star should’ve been the most exciting chart event of 2005. So why did it seem like such hard work?
Delta Goodrem – Lost Without You
Stepping away from Nina Tucker for a moment, ‘Lost Without You’ was a brilliant slice of angsty teen pop music from Delta Goodrem.
Girl Thing – Last One Standing
‘Last One Standing’ marked the arrival of the next big pop phenomenon…if you could hear it over the sound of Simon Cowell’s ego.
Kylie Minogue – Love At First Sight
‘Love At First Sight’ is a one-of-a-kind pop song; a moment in time from an artist at the height of her powers.
Backstreet Boys – The One
‘The One’ was never actually planned to be a single. That is, until Nick Carter made a call that changed the Backstreet Boys’ destiny.
Emma Bunton – Crickets Sing For Anamaria
Just when it looked like Emma Bunton couldn’t put a foot wrong with her second album, along came an unexpectedly divisive fourth single.
Steps – Here and Now
‘Here and Now’ was very much the silver lining to an ominous cloud that was starting to gather over Steps.
Gina G – Ti Amo
‘Ti Amo’ marked that most cherished rite of passage for Gina G: an obligatory diversion into Latin-tinged pop music.
S Club – Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You
Although ‘Love Ain’t Gonna Wait For You’ was to be S Club’s final single, at least they were considerate enough to warn us beforehand.
