I think it stands as the best number one over the others for me because of how 2001 it is. The vocals are rich, the key change euphoric, the vibes immaculate. The best thing about the Euros last year was the resurgence of Whole Again by Atomic Kitten – the best of all the UK number ones of 2001 and one of the best songs, well, ever. Natasha “My dad doesn’t shout at me” Hamilton has pipes. Even a cover version featuring Jenny Frost on vocals isn’t going to be THAT bad. How can I stay mad at it? It’s one of the best pop songs ever. I’ve been harsh on the covers when ranking the UK number ones of 2001, but I’m giving a kindly pass to Atomic Kitten’s cover of Eternal Flame because it was five year old me’s first ever exposure to any variation of this classic song. If this came on in the club I’d literally ascend. Really solid housey dance track that has an infectious beat over the top of trancey production and a lovely vocal from Cassandra. Simple, outrageously catchy, daft and one of the first viral songs ever. The production could truly only have come from 2001 and vocally all four of the Blue boys kind of kill it. A fun little 00s boyband romp down memory lane.
