Have I just lowered my standards, or have the British public suddenly got taste? I remember in 2005 there were only 3 good number ones in the entire year. 2007, however, has top 5s like this:
1. Umbrella-ella-ella
2. Mutya Buena – Real Girl
3. Beyoncé Beyoncé & Shakira Shakira
4. Hellogoodbye – Here (in Your Arms)
5. Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder
3 girls of pop and 2 American boybands! We didn’t even get top 5s so free of idiocy in the 90s. And maybe it’s a bit of stretch to call them pop princesses and boybands, but they are the closest 2007 equivalents, and the songs are great as well. Well done England – I might come back from Sweden after all!
