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?

Atomic Kitten – You Are
‘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.
Britney Spears – I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll
Britney concluded her third album with an enjoyable – if completely unnecessary – cover of ‘I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll’.
Gina G – I Belong To You
‘I Belong To You’ was precisely what we wanted from Gina G post-Eurovision: a little bit more of the same.
Emma Bunton – Maybe
‘Maybe’ is one of the most absurdly brilliant tracks Emma Bunton ever recorded. Well, it was inspired by ’70s German porn after all.
Melanie B – I Want You Back (Feat. Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliott)
‘I Want You Back’ was a watershed moment for the Spice Girls as Melanie B became the first to break rank and release a solo single.
Darren Hayes – Pop!ular
A subversive electropop banger isn’t what anyone expected from a new Darren Hayes single. But with ‘Pop!ular’, that’s precisely what we got.
*NSYNC – It’s Gonna Be Me
‘It’s Gonna Be Me’ siphoned the essence of *NSYNC’s ‘No Strings Attached album’ down into an immense three-and-a-half-minute pop package.
Geri Halliwell – Scream If You Wanna Go Faster
While not strictly the lead single, ‘Scream If You Wanna Go Faster’ felt a proper introduction to Geri Halliwell’s second album.
Aqua – My Oh My
‘My Oh My’ was another brilliantly absurd effort from Aqua. But for the first time, it didn’t feel as if all the ideas quite came together.
Darren Hayes – Strange Relationship
‘Strange Relationship’ was a brilliantly twisted, tortured and vulnerable love song…but that didn’t necessarily make it a good single.
Westlife – Swear It Again
‘Swear It Again’ was the start of a new era for pop music and there was no stopping Westlife as they showcased a tried-and-tested formula.
