25. Erik Hassle - Don’t Bring Flowers
Even better than Hurtful, this straddled the line perfectly between acoustic, electro and pure pop. Puts its American counterparts to shame.
24. Mini Viva - Left My Heart In Tokyo
Xenomania proves their worth yet again with this adrenaline-pumping dance track. A new duo couldn’t ask for a better introduction to the charts.
23. Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment
Many expected him to go rock, but instead the Idol runner-up released his version of what sounds like a Britney Spears song. The difference is he can sing like nobody’s business.
22. Mika - We Are Golden
The most over-the-top single in a career of over-the-top singles, this annoyed many but delighted me. It’s approaching Freddie Mercury territory.
21. Malena Ernman - La Voix
A perfect melding of opera and dance, this deserved so much better than it received in Eurovision. The chorus is still stirring.
