Enjoyed it a lot at the time. Not bothered with it in ages. It's not the greatest pop song of the last 20 years.

oh come on.

Or if you put those halcyon early noughties years behind us the best pop song of recent years is this.

its a cover for a start
a cover of one tune and massive sample/rip off of another
not very original
basically a mash up

there had been a mash up version with the Adina Howard original vocal that had got big before the sugarbabes rerecorded it iirc.

It doesn't do much for me tbh, Sugababes recorded loads of better songs.

At the end of the sugababes track is a tune that they have copied from somewhere, wish I could remember where.

Overload is far superior.

it's a strong contender, but nothings by a country mile. there's too many great pop songs for that.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Fuck over-produced shite when you can have decent pop music like





Those are tracks made in the last couple of years, not even thinking about the last 20.

 

[killer b]

did they get in the top 20 though? it doesn't count as pop if they didn't.
