For her all-important second single, Rosie Ribbons picked an overlooked Jessica Simpson track and gave it a new lease of life.
David Sneddon – Stop Living The Lie
‘Stop Living The Lie’ is an oft-forgotten relic of the early TV talent show era, but possibly one of the best singles to emerge from it.
Mis-Teeq – Why?
The growing popularity of garage music – and a conveniently timed remix – gave Mis-Teeq a breakthrough hit with their debut single ‘Why?’
Backstreet Boys – Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)
‘Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)’ became the Backstreet Boys’ biggest hit so far. Thanks, in no small part, due to *that* music video.
Victoria Beckham – This Groove
Could Victoria Beckham seriously pull off a hip-hop reinvention with ‘This Groove’? Or perhaps more to the point, was she even trying to?

Despite now being the flagship representatives of the S Club-brand, ‘Don’t Tell Me You’re Sorry’ found S Club 8 in a make-or-break situation.
Spice Girls – Goodbye
The Spice Girls’ ‘Goodbye’ was a tribute not just to the end of a friendship, but the end of the group as we knew it.
Girls Aloud – Sound Of The Underground
‘Sound Of The Underground’ set a new benchmark of what a TV talent show winners’ single could be and just how far its impact could spread.

Honeyz – End Of The Line
The Honeyz second single ‘End Of The Line’ saw the group don iconic purple overcoats to deliver a blockbuster ’90s ballad.
Liberty – Doin’ It
Sandwiched between two more prominent singles, ‘Doin’ It’ is a hugely underrated release from the soon-to-be-rebranded Liberty.
Emilia – Big Big World
By rights, ‘Big Big World’ should have been swallowed by the bombastic charts of the late ’90s, but against the odds it became a huge hit.
