The big boys (and girls) who missed out

Some more teaser results for you... this time the five big songs/artists who didn't make it:

1. Atomic Kitten - Whole Again (=#104)

This song was a number one hit in 19 countries and is the highest selling song by a girl group this decade. Much to Simon Wright's despair it wasn't good enough to make our final list. An absolute travesty - what's wrong with you people?!?



2. Cheryl Cole - Fight For This Love (=#120)

Many Aussies won't know who the hell Cheryl Cole is.... well she was one of five members of 'Girls Aloud' (huge UK girlband). She's also married to Chelsea and England footballer Ashley Cole and a judge on the 'X factor'.

Her debut single was a massive hit in the UK but not good enough to make our list. She'll be pleased to hear she beat fellow judge Dannii Minogue who's best effort was 'Put The Needle On It' in =133rd place.



3. Kanye West - Gold Digger (=#125)

Mr West failed to make our Top 100 with 'Gold Digger' his best effort at 125. The 2005 hit reached #1 in the US and Australia but only #2 in the UK



4. Shakira - Whenever, Wherever (=#133)

Shakira burst on the western music scene in 2002 with Whenever, Wherever. It reached #1 in 20 countries including Australia (#2 in the UK). It also has the classic line of the decade involving breasts and mountains.

Unfortunately Shakira didn't do too well in our poll with this song her best effort. Her top hit 'Hips Don't Lie' did very badly barely making our top 400.



5. Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha (=#160)

I'm delighted this piece of trash didn't make our final list. Fast facts for you: It is actually a cover of a song by Tori Alamaze released in 2004 AND it was offered to Paris Hilton and the Sugababes first - both declined.
