George Michael takes us back to the year 2002 with his Top 10 hit ‘Freeek!’ (which includes samples from Aaliyah’s No.5 hit ‘Try Again’ and Q-Tips’ ‘Breathe And Stop’), followed by the JXL remixed Elvis Presley track ‘A Little Less Conversation’, which reached #1 in 13 countries! Girls Aloud made their debut and had the Christmas #1… Neighbours star Holly Valance’s #1 debut single ‘Kiss Kiss’ appears alongside floor-filler ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ and Avril Lavigne with her Grammy-nominated track ‘Complicated’. Flipping to side B with Top 10 hits from Robbie Williams and Coldplay, followed by the certified platinum single from Oasis ‘Stop Crying Your Heart Out’. Nelly & Kelly Rowland and Mary J. Blige give us massive R&B hits before Céline Dion’s powerhouse vocals finalise 2002 for us with the stellar track ‘A New Day Has Come’. But we don’t stop there…

Heading into 2003 on LP 2 with #1s from Elton John, Will Young and Christina Aguilera, plus Kylie Minogue with her 7th UK #1 single ‘Slow’. Huge hits from the US by The Black Eyed Peas, 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake follow along with the years’ floor-filling favourite from Junior Senior. The diversity of genres in the charts of the early noughties is highlighted by Evanescence who took their debut single ‘Bring Me To Life’ to #1, Unforgettable hits from Electric Six with ‘Danger! High Voltage and t.A.T.u’s #1 smash ‘All The Things She Said’ feature along with alt-rock classics from R.E.M. with ‘Bad Day’ and Radiohead’s ‘There, There’ before closing the collection with Pop excellence from Dido and her Brit Award-winning single ‘White Flag’, and Katie Melua’s debut ‘The Closest Thing To Crazy’.
