This last one, I remember being referred to at the time as "The Marmite Song" - you either loved it, or hated it. Many a Customised Ford XR something played this while waiting at the traffic lights, with the driver hanging his arm out the car window...

Some great choices, but i think Ronan Keating will be Played for Many years to come.

ATB must have been one of my most played in '99. Followed closely by La vida loca. But I think that is more popular now than when it came out.

Britney!

Well i still get asked for Ricky Martin - Livin' la vida loco and it goes down well at wedding type gigs but 1 of my personal favs is Armand Van Helden featuring Duane Haeden: You Don't Know Me which i still play at some of my club gigs

Although I voted for Livin La Vida Loca - I think an honourable mention must go to Five. Keep on Movin' is always a great track to use at parties.
