Back on this. We're now into the dancey section by the looks of it.
Give It Away by Deepest Blue - not sure I've ever heard this before. It's pretty meh. Seems more than a bit Modjo (Lady (Hear Me Tonight)).
Take Me to The Clouds Above. Remember when you could more or less make a new song by nabbing a single line from an old song and adding some standard Eurobeat to it? I mean, it's fine. This isn't even anywhere near the best of that particular genre.
Come With Me - Special D. Hi-NRG trash. Enjoyable like.
God, this is tough. We're into my first year of Uni now. Fountains of Wayne has many special memories, Blink isn't their best, but also has that going for it. That Jamelia song is immense. And of course Kylie.

I've been listening to the whole thing this evening. A good listen and a genuinely tough choice. Some were a disappointment (Britney) and there were one or two surprise contenders (NERD) but ultimately, I have decided to go with Will Young as that song does all the feels for me then (and Now, with the big changes going on in my life currently).
As for the main vote, it's a tie-break between Britney and Kelis (who got a surge of late votes). A tie-break will go up when I can remember what site I use.

I'm noticing a pattern where an artist will have a hit then have a miss or two included for a few collections after that.
Wondering if labels got wise and wrote that into terms for giving the rights to the hit.
Damn, I would have backed you at Lola's Theme, banger. Will have to consider my options. Normally it would be Hey Ya but I don't know if I've heard that enough now.
