11. CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD- Kylie Minogue (7) 1,142,000
This iconic pop song cemented Kylie's status as Queen of Pop. This song was the start of a run of 12 consecutive top 10 hits in the UK; just as Spinning Around in those hot pants marked her return to prominence in 2000; this track secured her place in chart history and the nation's heart. Managing to keep Michael Jackon's You Rock My World from the #1 spot this had everyone singing 'La la la, La la la la la, La la la' - even my neighbour's 3 year old daughter. It is a once in a career song and I don't think without it Kylie would have had so much longevity on the charts; it may have suffered slightly from overplay but it is still one of my favourite singles of hers (a list which of course is topped by On A Night Like This).
12. JUST THE WAY YOU ARE (AMAZING)- Bruno Mars 1,123,000
13. WE FOUND LOVE- Rihanna Ft Calvin Harris 1,109,000
14. POKER FACE- Lady Gaga (15) 1,104,000
This had us bluffin' for her muffin'; after Lady Gaga had just taken the globe by storm with Just Dance she was back with this slick slice of pop perfection. Back in a time when her quirkiness was intriguing rather than verging on try hard and her brilliant pop songs subtly made their points rather than screaming at us we were born that way. She may not have been the regular popstar but by gosh did she make the rest of them pick up their games. Lady Gaga set that bar just so high - she was writing and helping produce her tracks, she was singing live with ambitious dance routines and she was selling records by the bucket load as a result. You just need to look at the albums Katy Perry and Rihanna came out with to try and compete - judging by the success of Teenage Dream and Loud they fair tried and upped their games.
15. THAT'S MY GOAL- Shayne Ward (8) 1,103,000
16. PARTY ROCK ANTHEM- LMFAO Ft Goonrock & Lauren Bennett 1,097,000
17. PURE AND SIMPLE- Hear'Say (9) 1,083,000
18. PRICE TAG- Jessie J Ft B.o.B 1,038,000
19. LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE- Eminem Ft Rihanna 1,035,000
20. ONLY GIRL (IN THE WORLD)- Rihanna 1,027,000
