MAYBE
EMMA BUNTON
2004
This 60’s bossa nova-lite bop is hands down the greatest Solo Spice single in existence.

POP MUZIK
M
1979
It’s really all in the name isn’t it? A brilliant, synthy, nonsensical celebration of Pop.

TOY SOLDIERS
MARTIKA
1989
This haunting melody has echoed through decades, but remains an approachable pop moment.

GOTTA GET THRU THIS
DANIEL BEDINGFIELD
2001
The hook is irresistible, the way it melds his voice to the synths. While the production is awesome, the angst and urgency of the lyrics really get pulled into existence by Daniel’s performance.

GLORIA
LAURA BRANIGAN
1982
This English interpretation of a late 70s Italian pop hit is truly one one of the most uplifting gems of the last 50 years… a should’ve-been wedding staple, but left unruined.

EVERYTIME WE TOUCH
CASCADA
2005
This has got to be AI’s Moby Dick. Even twenty years later, it’s somewhat inconceivable that humans made this track, but that’s meant as a compliment.

DER KOMMISSAR
AFTER THE FIRE
1982
With its hook-heavy melody and quirky verses, this English version of Falco’s (also brilliant) hit is an absolute new wave classic.

PUSH THE BUTTON
SUGABABES
2005
Sugababes are really one of the UK’s great girl groups, and “Push the Button” is their opus. It’s restraint makes it so craveable.

DON’T KILL MY VIBE
SIGRID
2017
One of the most interesting and perfectly-executed pop moments this century. It made waves, but should have been an international number one.

BLACK MAGIC
LITTLE MIX
2006
One of the most bubblegum moments in Little Mix’s severely underrated catalog, it’s also one of the most endearing. And I just cannot stress this enough about them at all times… the vocals.
