Ed Sheeran
When I was at university we used to have Open Mic nights at the Students Union quite regularly. I generally enjoyed them, mainly because I played at every one I went to, but the problem was that hardly anybody used to go to them.
Aside from the fact it didn't get promoted very well, another reason why people didn't go was likely to do with the fact most of the music was somebody getting up and playing the acoustic guitar and singing which got a bit boring after a while. It just wasn't the sort of night you'd think would appeal to students and I probably wouldn't have gone myself had I not been playing there.
Fast forward to today and we find one of the biggest music acts in the world at the moment is a man with an acoustic guitar. Somebody who had 16 songs in the Top 20 one week who also managed to get Christmas number one with one of those songs several months later. Chart performance aside, he also played a stadium tour in the UK recently where more than a million people went to see him play, that's more than the number of people who live in Birmingham.
We also live in a time where a lot of mainstream music is EDM music by everybody featuring everybody else so how is one man with an acoustic guitar so popular?
Prior to "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill" reaching numbers one and two in the charts last year I didn't know any Ed Sheeran songs. I had heard him play a song on the TV but to be honest it was too boring for me to remember.
When I heard "Shape of You" my first thought was that it didn't sound like a man with an acoustic guitar, more like a Dancehall song that most Dancehall fans would hate. It was very catchy too. Likewise "Castle on the Hill" was surprisingly upbeat for a man with an acoustic guitar.
Before his album came out, he released another track "How Would You Feel (Paean)". This sounded more like what I'd expect an Ed Sheeran song to sound like, boring.
When the album came out and flooded the Top 20, the highest charting of the other tracks was "Galway Girl". This certainly wasn't boring, more of a cheesy Irish Folk song that most Irish Folk fans wouldn't like. Maybe that was the point.
On a side note, when I had my fresher's week at uni, one night had an Irish night in one room and a Latin night in the other room. The Irish night was even emptier than the Open Mic nights and the Latin night wasn't the liveliest so we left and went to a nightclub instead. Another sign of how times may have changed.
Then there was "Perfect" which would go on to be Christmas number one. My interpretation of this song is if you play "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time" by R Kelly on the acoustic guitar and then change the words you've pretty much got this song.
I've since taken a listen to the remaining eleven tracks that made the Top 20 that week. First up was "New Man" which sounded like an R&B tune that no R&B fans would like. The next three songs "Happier", "Dive" and "Supermarket Flowers" were back to the old acoustic guitar and vocals formula, the latter apparently being a song he wrote for his Grandmother.
It gets a bit livelier with "What Do I Know" but still of the acoustic guitar and vocals variety. Then there was "Barcelona" which as the title suggests is a Spanish sounding record. Then another song for his Grandmother "Nancy Mulligan" which is back to the cheesy Irish Folk sound.
He starts rapping on the song "Eraser" which I find hilarious, particularly when he gives the A14 a mention. Then its back to the acoustic "Hearts Don't Break Around Here" which is instantly forgettable.
He goes back to the Spanish sound with "Bibia Be Ye Ye" and the lowest charting was "Save Myself" which was back to the acoustic sound and I decided I'd had enough and didn't listen to the whole song.
What is apparent is that not all his songs sound the same and it spans multiple genres, albeit watered down versions of the given genre. Maybe that's why he has mass appeal, particularly to the kids who are still trying to find what sort of music they like.
At our Open Mic nights people played different genres of music to each other on the acoustic guitar and its almost like he was there watching and thinking this is the music of the future. Maybe he was at the Irish and Latin nights too and thinking the youngsters don't like it now therefore the next generation of youngsters will like it. Obviously he wasn't there as he'd have still been Primary School age at the time.
He doesn't just appeal to the kids though. I shared a carriage on the tube with a load of Ed Sheeran fans when he played at Wembley and pretty much every age group was there. Writing a song about his grandmother probably helped with that.
There is a skill in what he does, it can be argued that writing a bad song is no easier than writing a good song. Whilst I understand why he may have mass appeal, there is still some sort of mystery as to why he does. But then maybe he knows something we don't, that's why he has that secret formula for writing songs that sells shit loads.

Is EDM what Happy Hardcore could have been?
One of the key moments in the history of Rave music came in the early to mid 90s when the scene split into Happy Hardcore and Jungle. Happy Hardcore started life as basically a faster version of what went before whereas Jungle became a much darker and moody version. Some tunes of the time could fit in both a Happy Hardcore or Jungle set, but as time went on they both evolved into two completely different genres of music.
Jungle evolved into Drum & Bass and brought us several household names such as Roni Size and Goldie, there was a Drum & Bass show on Radio 1, you had Drum & Bass arenas at big Dance Music events and more recently we've had Drum & Bass number ones in the UK Singles Chart.
Happy Hardcore on the other hand didn't fare so well. It was ridiculed by many Dance Music fans for being too fast, too cheesy and a bit of a joke. By the end of the 90s it was pretty much finished but came back from the dead in the early 00s and gained a new generation of fans, but in reality it was never really that popular.
When the likes of London Elektricity and High Contrast emerged with their Liquid Drum & Bass sound, my thoughts were that this was more like what Happy Hardcore should have evolved into. The trouble with Jungle/Drum & Bass initially was that it was too dark but this sound was much more uplifting without being too cheesy and was still breakbeat rather then having the kick drum which is what happened to Happy Hardcore.
However in recent times I have noticed similarities between Happy Hardcore and EDM. There have been examples of EDM tunes I've heard which basically sound like slowed down Happy Hardcore.
Take "Slide" by Calvin Harris ft Frank Ocean & Migos for example, you have the piano, the chipmunk vocals and the noise that kicks in after 38 seconds, all commonplace in Happy Hardcore albeit much faster than in this tune.
Then there's "2U" by David Guetta ft Justin Bieber which has a lot of different sounds you'd hear in a Happy Hardcore tune, but again at a much slower pace. David Guetta has even done the chipmunk vocals on another of his tunes, "Bad".
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure if they had slowed Happy Hardcore down to that sort of speed it would have been a disaster. But the fact of the matter is that EDM is huge worldwide, the DJs make a shit load of money from it and can sell out big venues on their own. Happy Hardcore used to bring together all the big name DJs at an event that would attract around 3000 people. Yet the difference between the two genres isn't that great.
The thing is though EDM is ridiculed by many too. I'm not a fan myself, the example tunes I posted above are rather weak, they have no oomph, particularly "2U" which never seems to start. It's as if they've taken the worst Happy Hardcore tune ever made and got rid of anything good about it. Generally though, many people who ridicule EDM are the same people who ridiculed Happy Hardcore.
Another similarity is that a big EDM track of last year was "Cola" by CamelPhat & Elderbrook which was nominated for a Grammy Award. One of the two members of CamelPhat is Mike Di Scala who back in the day was a Happy Hardcore DJ called Recon. Also Happy Hardcore DJs Gammer and Darren Styles are doing EDM music these days.
On that basis you could say part of Happy Hardcore has evolved into EDM.

Record of the Year 2003: Wayne Wonder - No Letting Go
Channel U is best remembered for it's UK urban music which usually consisted of about 50 people in the middle of a council estate seemingly being recorded on a home camera. There was more to it than that, particularly in the early days and it's playlist included quite a few Dancehall and Reggae tunes. Amongst these was my record of the year for 2003, "No Letting Go" by Wayne Wonder which often appeared on Channel U in the summer of 2003.
It had an immediate impact on me and was a tune that would get me on the dancefloor on a night out at the time. I bought the album "No Holding Back" shortly afterwards too.
I'd first come across Wayne Wonder in 1996 when he was featured artist on "Something Different" by Shaggy but heard no more from him until 2003. I suspected he'd be four or five albums into his career by this point but no, this was in fact his eleventh album.
His music career began as a 13 year old in 1985 and his debut album came out in 1989. Seven more albums have followed since, the last being in 2014 but these appear to have made little impact.
Its a shame his time at the top came and went like it did, but then the other big Jamaican star of 2003, Sean Paul, who I also quite liked at the time has made some pretty terrible music in the last 10 years, so maybe it's just as well Wayne Wonder can be fondly remembered instead of go down that road.

UK Singles Chart: 2003
Joining the 30+ UK Top 40 hits club this year is Iron Maiden and Mariah Carey:
Westlife clock up another number one putting them two ahead of Madonna and two behind Cliff Richard:
Madonna still has the longest run of years of consecutive hits going back to 1989:
We ended 2002 with Pop Stars: The Rivals winners Girls Aloud at number one with their debut hit. 2003 started in a similar fashion, this time the TV show being Fame Academy with winner David Sneddon scoring the first number one of the year with "Stop Living the Lie". However by the end of the year his Top 40 career was over, scoring a further three hits along the way, his final being "Baby Get Higher" which reached 38.
Fame Academy runner up Sinead Quinn also got off to a promising start with her debut "I Can't Break Down" making number two, but she only had one further hit with "What You Need Is".
Third placed Fame Academy contestant Lemar fared much better. He scored a number two with his debut "Dance (With U)" and followed up with the top five hit "50:50 / Lullaby" and his career would continue for years to come. Fourth placed contestant Ainslie Henderson had his only single this year with "Keep Me A Secret" which made number 5.
The second series of Fame Academy finished before the end of the year and brought us the chart debut of winner Alex Parks who reached number three with her debut "Maybe That's What It Takes", but we'd have to wait until next year for hits from other contestants.
It was looking like Pop Idol runner up Gareth Gates was winning the battle of the charts scoring his fourth number one with "Spirit In the Sky" and a number three with "Sunshine" whilst Will Young was nowhere to be seen. However in December Will Young was back with his fourth number one "Leave Right Now" whilst Gareth Gates got to number four with "Say It Isn't So" which would be the last we'd see of him for 4 years and his last top ten.
Third placed Pop Idol contestant Darius had a couple more hits this year with "Incredible (What I Meant To Say)" and "Girl In The Moon" whilst fourth placed contestant Zoe Birkett had her only hit with "Treat Me Like A Lady". We also had the final hits for Pop Idol contestants Rosie Ribbons with "A Little Bit" and Sarah Whatmore with "Automatic".
The second series of Pop Idol was underway later on in the year and the top ten finalists on the show released a cover of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" which reached number 5. The original from John Lennon also re-entered the charts this year but only reached 33.
The only act this year to have more than one number one was Busted who scored number ones with "You Said No" and "Crashed The Wedding". They also had a number two with "Year 3000" and a number three with "Sleeping With The Light On".
Westlife were the only other boy band to have a number one this year. Blue had a mixed year, they reached number four with "U Make Me Wanna" and number two with "Guilty". However, after finishing 2002 with an Elton John cover alongside Elton John that reached number one, they tried a similar thing this year covering Stevie Wonders "Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours" alongside Stevie Wonder which because their first single not to reach the top ten, stalling at 11.
Blazin Squad had a trio of top ten singles this year, the highest being the number two record "Flip Reverse". It was the end of the chart career of O-Town with their final hit being "These Are The Days". There were also two boy bands having there second and final hits this year, 3rd Edge with "Know You Wanna" and Pop Stars: The Rivals winners One True Voice with "Shakespeare's Way With Words", the number ten it reached seemingly not good enough.
Much like the original Pop Stars series, a boy band of the runners up from Pop Stars: The Rivals was created who were called Phixx. They matched the second hit of One True Voice reaching number ten with their debut hit "Hold On Me".
Another boyband making their debut this year was Triple 8. They debuted at number 8 with "Knock Out" and followed up at number 9 with "Give Me A Reason" which would be their final hit. Then at the end of the year we had the debut of D-Side with "Real World" which made number 9.
Girl Group winners of Pop Stars: The Rivals, Girls Aloud, didn't score a number one this year but had number twos with "No Good Advice" and "Jump" and a number three with "Life Got Cold".
The female runners up were also in the charts this year. Javine reached number four with her debut "Real Things" and followed up with the number 15 hit "Surrender". The remaining female runners up were in a group called Clea and only managed number 21 with their debut hit "Download It".
The only Girl Group to have a number one this year was Sugababes with "Hold In the Head". They also had a number 10 with "Too Lost In You" and a number 11 with "Shape". Atomic Kitten had a trio of top tens with the highest being the number three "If You Come To Me".
There was a Girl Group from Russia causing a stir early on this year, the so called lesbian duo Tatu. They reached number one with their debut "All the Things She Said" and also made the top ten with the follow up "Not Gonna Get Us".
We had a Girl Group called Tommi who had their only hit this year reaching number 12 with "Like What". Then there was the debut of Lemonescent with "Help Me Mama" followed up by the highest charting of their hits "Cinderella" which made number 31.
Then we had the one and only hit from a cartoon Girl Group called VBirds with "Virtuality" which made number 21.
Original Pop Stars runners up Liberty X kept the run of top ten singles going this year with "Being Nobody" and "Jumpin". Former Hear Say member Kym Marsh started her solo career with the number two single "Cry". She followed up with the top ten hit "Come On Over" but her third single "Sentimental" only managed number 35 and that was the end of her solo career.
After 3 of the 5 Steps members came and went with their post Steps careers the year before, this year was the turn of Lisa Scott Lee to launch her solo career. She made number six with her debut "Lately" but missed out on the top ten making number 11 with her follow up "Too Far Gone". She would be back the following year.
It was the end for S Club (formerly S Club 7) who's final hit appropriately titled "Say Goodbye / Love Ain't Gonna Wait For" made number two. Just three months later Rachel Stevens was back at number two with her debut solo hit "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex". Her follow up "Funky Dory" only made number 26. Meanwhile S Club Juniors had now become S Club 8 and had two number fours this year with "Fool No More" and "Sundown".
Also benefiting from the TV this year were Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne who had an MTV reality TV show with "The Osbournes" and scored a number one with their cover of the Black Sabbath song "Changes". This was knocked off by the Christmas number ones which was a cover of "Mad World" by Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules.
There were two Spice Girls in the charts this year with solo hits. Emma Bunton had a pair of top tens with "Free Me" and "Maybe" whilst Mel C had a top ten with "Here It Comes Again" but failed to reach the top ten with "On The Horizon" and "Melt / Yeh Yeh Yeh".
It was the end of the chart career of Appleton this year. They reached the top ten with "Don't Worry" but only made 38 with their final hit "Everything Eventually". Fellow All Saint Mel Blatt had her only solo hit with "Do Me Wrong".
There was a return to the charts after 6 years away for former Take That member Mark Owen following his victory on Celebrity Big Brother. He appropriately reached number four with "Four Minute Warning" but only managed number 26 with the follow up "Alone Without You".
The Trance covers of old hits just kept on coming this year. These included "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Flip & Fill, "Heaven Is Closer (Feels Like Heaven)" by Dario G, "Time After Time" by Novaspace, "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" by Aquagen, "The Boys Of Summer" by DJ Sammy, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Jan Wayne, "Someday" by Resonance Q, "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" by Soda Club featuring Hannah Alethea, "Show Me Heaven" and "All Out Of Love" by Foundation featuring Natalie Rossi.
We also had the Trance covers of old Happy Hardcore records in "Field Of Dreams" by Flip & Fill featuring Jo James and "Pretty Green Eyes" and "Feelin' Fine" by Ultrabeat.
The biggest Trance record of the year was "Loneliness" by Tomcraft which was number one. Another number one Dance was the Nu Disco hit "Make Luv" by Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham. There was another big Nu Disco hit in "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior.
Perhaps the most notable debutant from a future perspective was David Guetta who reached number 19 with "Just A Little More Love". It would be three more years until we'd next see him in the charts.
The Drum & Bass tunes in the charts this year were "Mo' Fire" by Bad Company UK / Rawhill Cru, "Midnight" by Un-Cut, "Twist 'Em Out" by Dillinja featuring Skibadee, "Feelin' U" by Shy FX & T Power / Kele Le Roc, "Barcelona" by D Kay & Epsilon featuring Stamina MC and "Complete" by Jaimeson which made the top ten.
Jaimeson also had a UK Garage record with "True". We also had UK Garage tunes from M J Cole with "Wondering Why", Billy Crawford with "You Didn't Expect That" and Mr Reds vs DJ Skribble with "Everybody Come On (Can U Feel It)", so UK Garage wasn't quite finished yet.
The So Solid Crew were back in the charts but had moved away from UK Garage with their hit "Broken Silence" being more of a Rap record. So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia began her solo career with the R&B hits "All Over" and "In Love". Mis-Teeq also moved away from UK Garage with the hits "Scandalous", "Can't Get It Back" and "Style" all being R&B records. This would however be the last we'd see of Mis-Teeq in the charts.
There were three number one R&B hits this year. First up was "Ignition (Remix)" by R Kelly which was a remix based on the final part of "Ignition" which was from the same album but not a single. Then there was "Crazy In Love" by Beyoncé ft Jay-Z which was the second collaboration of the year from them following the number two hit "03 Bonnie & Clyde".
The third and final hit of the year for Beyoncé was "Baby Boy" which reached number two and featured Sean Paul, who also featured on the third R&B number one of the year, "Breathe" by Blu Cantrell.
Sean Paul had three hits of his own this year with "Gimme The Light", "Get Busy" and "Like Glue". He was one of the Reggae/Dancehall artists from Jamaica making their mark on the charts this year. We also had Beenie Man with "Street Life", Wayne Wonder with "No Letting Go" and "Bounce Along" and Elephant Man with "Pon De River Pon De Bank".
The Black Eyed Peas became a household name this year with the number one "Where Is the Love?". This was their second hit having had a minor hit in 2001. They followed this up later in the year with "Shut Up".
Perhaps the most bizarre record from the Hip Hop world this year was "Hey Ya!" by Outkast. The two members of Outkast, Andre 3000 and Big Boi, had gone solo but their solo albums were released together as a double album under the Outkast name. This tune was by Andre 3000 and wasn't really a Hip Hop record at all, instead more of a Funk/Soul record. Meanwhile Big Boi under his own name collaborated with Killer Mike on his only hit "A.D.I.D.A.S."
Other rappers making their debuts this year included 50 Cent with "In Da Club", Joe Budden with "Pump It Up", Fabolous with "Can't Let You Go", Chingy with "Right Thurr" and Obie Trice with "Got Some Teeth".
50 Cents group G-Unit also made their debut later on in the year with "Stunt 101". We also had the number one debut from Hip Hop DJ Fatman Scoop with "Be Faithful" which sampled "Love Like This" by Faith Evans.
In February a new music TV channel was launched, Channel U which focussed on Urban music from the UK including an emerging sound known as Grime. One artist from this scene, Dizzee Rascal, made his way into the charts and had three hits this year, "I Luv U", "Fix Up Look Sharp" and "Jus' A Rascal".
In the Indie world, two of the big four Garage Rock acts had hits. The Strokes had a hit with "12:51" and the White Stripes had a hit with perhaps their best know record "7 Nation Army" and followed up with "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" and "The Hardest Button To Button".
We also had hits from Libertines, Datsuns, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Making their debut was Kings Of Leon with "What I Saw" and Jet with "Are You Gonna Be My Girl".
There were a notable number of bands from the Brit Pop days having hits this year. We had already seen the end of Pulps chart career and this year was the end for Suede with "Attitude / Golden Gun" and Blur with "Good Song". Oasis were also in the charts with "Songbird" but they would be back.
Also coming to the end of their chart careers were Bluetones with "Never Going Nowhere" and Shed Seven with "Why Can't I Be You" whilst we also had hits from Ocean Colour Scene and Supergrass who weren't finished yet.
The Grunge revival of the previous year proved to be short lived with the only record being "Someday" by Nickelback. However this arguably paved the way for other Rock/Metal genres from yesteryear to return.
Most notable was Gothic band Evanescence who had a number one with "Bring Me To Life" and also had hits with "Going Under" and "My Immortal". There was also the band Him who had hits with "Buried Alive By Love" and "The Sacrament".
There was also room for Glam Metal to make a comeback with The Darkness. They debuted with "Growing On Me" and followed up with "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" and "Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End)".
Rage Against the Machine minus Zack de la Rocha teamed up with Chris Cornell from Soundgarden to form Audioslave and they had their only hit this year with "Cochise".
The comebacks of Hard Rock bands Def Leppard and Wildhearts from the previous year ended this year with both bands having their final hits, Def Leppard with "Long Long Way To Go" and Wildhearts with "Top Of The World".
Metallica returned to the charts this year going back to their Metal roots with "St Anger" and "Frantic". Nu Metal was still around with hits from Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.
It was a big year for Punk chart wise too. Making their only chart appearances were Less Than Jake with "She's Gonna Break Soon", Violent Delight with "I Wish I Was A Girl" and "All You Ever Do", and AFI with "Girl's Not Grey".
We also had debuts for Good Charlotte with "Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous" and All-American Rejects with "Swing Swing". Blink 182 also returned to the charts with "Feeling This" plus we had the side project of Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, The Transplants, with "Diamonds & Guns".
Finally we had the only act to date from Georgia chart this year with Katie Melua charting with "Closest Thing to Crazy".
Whilst it's evident that guitar music is on the rise again, other styles weren't exactly suffering as a result, so there was probably more parity between the main genres this year than there had been for a while. In 2004 will this still be the case and if not which genres will rise and which ones will fall.

We ended 2002 with Pop Stars: The Rivals winners Girls Aloud at number one with their debut hit. 2003 started in a similar fashion, this time the TV show being Fame Academy with winner David Sneddon scoring the first number one of the year with "Stop Living the Lie". However by the end of the year his Top 40 career was over, scoring a further three hits along the way, his final being "Baby Get Higher" which reached 38.
Fame Academy runner up Sinead Quinn also got off to a promising start with her debut "I Can't Break Down" making number two, but she only had one further hit with "What You Need Is".
Third placed Fame Academy contestant Lemar fared much better. He scored a number two with his debut "Dance (With U)" and followed up with the top five hit "50:50 / Lullaby" and his career would continue for years to come. Fourth placed contestant Ainslie Henderson had his only single this year with "Keep Me A Secret" which made number 5.
The second series of Fame Academy finished before the end of the year and brought us the chart debut of winner Alex Parks who reached number three with her debut "Maybe That's What It Takes", but we'd have to wait until next year for hits from other contestants.
It was looking like Pop Idol runner up Gareth Gates was winning the battle of the charts scoring his fourth number one with "Spirit In the Sky" and a number three with "Sunshine" whilst Will Young was nowhere to be seen. However in December Will Young was back with his fourth number one "Leave Right Now" whilst Gareth Gates got to number four with "Say It Isn't So" which would be the last we'd see of him for 4 years and his last top ten.
Third placed Pop Idol contestant Darius had a couple more hits this year with "Incredible (What I Meant To Say)" and "Girl In The Moon" whilst fourth placed contestant Zoe Birkett had her only hit with "Treat Me Like A Lady". We also had the final hits for Pop Idol contestants Rosie Ribbons with "A Little Bit" and Sarah Whatmore with "Automatic".
The second series of Pop Idol was underway later on in the year and the top ten finalists on the show released a cover of "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" which reached number 5. The original from John Lennon also re-entered the charts this year but only reached 33.
The only act this year to have more than one number one was Busted who scored number ones with "You Said No" and "Crashed The Wedding". They also had a number two with "Year 3000" and a number three with "Sleeping With The Light On".
Westlife were the only other boy band to have a number one this year. Blue had a mixed year, they reached number four with "U Make Me Wanna" and number two with "Guilty". However, after finishing 2002 with an Elton John cover alongside Elton John that reached number one, they tried a similar thing this year covering Stevie Wonders "Signed Sealed Delivered I'm Yours" alongside Stevie Wonder which because their first single not to reach the top ten, stalling at 11.
Blazin Squad had a trio of top ten singles this year, the highest being the number two record "Flip Reverse". It was the end of the chart career of O-Town with their final hit being "These Are The Days". There were also two boy bands having there second and final hits this year, 3rd Edge with "Know You Wanna" and Pop Stars: The Rivals winners One True Voice with "Shakespeare's Way With Words", the number ten it reached seemingly not good enough.
Much like the original Pop Stars series, a boy band of the runners up from Pop Stars: The Rivals was created who were called Phixx. They matched the second hit of One True Voice reaching number ten with their debut hit "Hold On Me".
Another boyband making their debut this year was Triple 8. They debuted at number 8 with "Knock Out" and followed up at number 9 with "Give Me A Reason" which would be their final hit. Then at the end of the year we had the debut of D-Side with "Real World" which made number 9.
Girl Group winners of Pop Stars: The Rivals, Girls Aloud, didn't score a number one this year but had number twos with "No Good Advice" and "Jump" and a number three with "Life Got Cold".
The female runners up were also in the charts this year. Javine reached number four with her debut "Real Things" and followed up with the number 15 hit "Surrender". The remaining female runners up were in a group called Clea and only managed number 21 with their debut hit "Download It".
The only Girl Group to have a number one this year was Sugababes with "Hold In the Head". They also had a number 10 with "Too Lost In You" and a number 11 with "Shape". Atomic Kitten had a trio of top tens with the highest being the number three "If You Come To Me".
There was a Girl Group from Russia causing a stir early on this year, the so called lesbian duo Tatu. They reached number one with their debut "All the Things She Said" and also made the top ten with the follow up "Not Gonna Get Us".
We had a Girl Group called Tommi who had their only hit this year reaching number 12 with "Like What". Then there was the debut of Lemonescent with "Help Me Mama" followed up by the highest charting of their hits "Cinderella" which made number 31.
Then we had the one and only hit from a cartoon Girl Group called VBirds with "Virtuality" which made number 21.
Original Pop Stars runners up Liberty X kept the run of top ten singles going this year with "Being Nobody" and "Jumpin". Former Hear Say member Kym Marsh started her solo career with the number two single "Cry". She followed up with the top ten hit "Come On Over" but her third single "Sentimental" only managed number 35 and that was the end of her solo career.
After 3 of the 5 Steps members came and went with their post Steps careers the year before, this year was the turn of Lisa Scott Lee to launch her solo career. She made number six with her debut "Lately" but missed out on the top ten making number 11 with her follow up "Too Far Gone". She would be back the following year.
It was the end for S Club (formerly S Club 7) who's final hit appropriately titled "Say Goodbye / Love Ain't Gonna Wait For" made number two. Just three months later Rachel Stevens was back at number two with her debut solo hit "Sweet Dreams My LA Ex". Her follow up "Funky Dory" only made number 26. Meanwhile S Club Juniors had now become S Club 8 and had two number fours this year with "Fool No More" and "Sundown".
Also benefiting from the TV this year were Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne who had an MTV reality TV show with "The Osbournes" and scored a number one with their cover of the Black Sabbath song "Changes". This was knocked off by the Christmas number ones which was a cover of "Mad World" by Michael Andrews featuring Gary Jules.
There were two Spice Girls in the charts this year with solo hits. Emma Bunton had a pair of top tens with "Free Me" and "Maybe" whilst Mel C had a top ten with "Here It Comes Again" but failed to reach the top ten with "On The Horizon" and "Melt / Yeh Yeh Yeh".
It was the end of the chart career of Appleton this year. They reached the top ten with "Don't Worry" but only made 38 with their final hit "Everything Eventually". Fellow All Saint Mel Blatt had her only solo hit with "Do Me Wrong".
There was a return to the charts after 6 years away for former Take That member Mark Owen following his victory on Celebrity Big Brother. He appropriately reached number four with "Four Minute Warning" but only managed number 26 with the follow up "Alone Without You".
The Trance covers of old hits just kept on coming this year. These included "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by Flip & Fill, "Heaven Is Closer (Feels Like Heaven)" by Dario G, "Time After Time" by Novaspace, "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" by Aquagen, "The Boys Of Summer" by DJ Sammy, "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Jan Wayne, "Someday" by Resonance Q, "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" by Soda Club featuring Hannah Alethea, "Show Me Heaven" and "All Out Of Love" by Foundation featuring Natalie Rossi.
We also had the Trance covers of old Happy Hardcore records in "Field Of Dreams" by Flip & Fill featuring Jo James and "Pretty Green Eyes" and "Feelin' Fine" by Ultrabeat.
The biggest Trance record of the year was "Loneliness" by Tomcraft which was number one. Another number one Dance was the Nu Disco hit "Make Luv" by Room 5 featuring Oliver Cheatham. There was another big Nu Disco hit in "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior.
Perhaps the most notable debutant from a future perspective was David Guetta who reached number 19 with "Just A Little More Love". It would be three more years until we'd next see him in the charts.
The Drum & Bass tunes in the charts this year were "Mo' Fire" by Bad Company UK / Rawhill Cru, "Midnight" by Un-Cut, "Twist 'Em Out" by Dillinja featuring Skibadee, "Feelin' U" by Shy FX & T Power / Kele Le Roc, "Barcelona" by D Kay & Epsilon featuring Stamina MC and "Complete" by Jaimeson which made the top ten.
Jaimeson also had a UK Garage record with "True". We also had UK Garage tunes from M J Cole with "Wondering Why", Billy Crawford with "You Didn't Expect That" and Mr Reds vs DJ Skribble with "Everybody Come On (Can U Feel It)", so UK Garage wasn't quite finished yet.
The So Solid Crew were back in the charts but had moved away from UK Garage with their hit "Broken Silence" being more of a Rap record. So Solid Crew member Lisa Maffia began her solo career with the R&B hits "All Over" and "In Love". Mis-Teeq also moved away from UK Garage with the hits "Scandalous", "Can't Get It Back" and "Style" all being R&B records. This would however be the last we'd see of Mis-Teeq in the charts.
There were three number one R&B hits this year. First up was "Ignition (Remix)" by R Kelly which was a remix based on the final part of "Ignition" which was from the same album but not a single. Then there was "Crazy In Love" by Beyoncé ft Jay-Z which was the second collaboration of the year from them following the number two hit "03 Bonnie & Clyde".
The third and final hit of the year for Beyoncé was "Baby Boy" which reached number two and featured Sean Paul, who also featured on the third R&B number one of the year, "Breathe" by Blu Cantrell.
Sean Paul had three hits of his own this year with "Gimme The Light", "Get Busy" and "Like Glue". He was one of the Reggae/Dancehall artists from Jamaica making their mark on the charts this year. We also had Beenie Man with "Street Life", Wayne Wonder with "No Letting Go" and "Bounce Along" and Elephant Man with "Pon De River Pon De Bank".
The Black Eyed Peas became a household name this year with the number one "Where Is the Love?". This was their second hit having had a minor hit in 2001. They followed this up later in the year with "Shut Up".
Perhaps the most bizarre record from the Hip Hop world this year was "Hey Ya!" by Outkast. The two members of Outkast, Andre 3000 and Big Boi, had gone solo but their solo albums were released together as a double album under the Outkast name. This tune was by Andre 3000 and wasn't really a Hip Hop record at all, instead more of a Funk/Soul record. Meanwhile Big Boi under his own name collaborated with Killer Mike on his only hit "A.D.I.D.A.S."
Other rappers making their debuts this year included 50 Cent with "In Da Club", Joe Budden with "Pump It Up", Fabolous with "Can't Let You Go", Chingy with "Right Thurr" and Obie Trice with "Got Some Teeth".
50 Cents group G-Unit also made their debut later on in the year with "Stunt 101". We also had the number one debut from Hip Hop DJ Fatman Scoop with "Be Faithful" which sampled "Love Like This" by Faith Evans.
In February a new music TV channel was launched, Channel U which focussed on Urban music from the UK including an emerging sound known as Grime. One artist from this scene, Dizzee Rascal, made his way into the charts and had three hits this year, "I Luv U", "Fix Up Look Sharp" and "Jus' A Rascal".
In the Indie world, two of the big four Garage Rock acts had hits. The Strokes had a hit with "12:51" and the White Stripes had a hit with perhaps their best know record "7 Nation Army" and followed up with "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" and "The Hardest Button To Button".

Rage Against the Machine minus Zack de la Rocha teamed up with Chris Cornell from Soundgarden to form Audioslave and they had their only hit this year with "Cochise".
The comebacks of Hard Rock bands Def Leppard and Wildhearts from the previous year ended this year with both bands having their final hits, Def Leppard with "Long Long Way To Go" and Wildhearts with "Top Of The World".
Metallica returned to the charts this year going back to their Metal roots with "St Anger" and "Frantic". Nu Metal was still around with hits from Korn, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park.
It was a big year for Punk chart wise too. Making their only chart appearances were Less Than Jake with "She's Gonna Break Soon", Violent Delight with "I Wish I Was A Girl" and "All You Ever Do", and AFI with "Girl's Not Grey".
