Top 5 Songs: Kim Wilde

When you are listing the best female pop acts of the 80s and 90s, you just have to list pop powerhouse, Kim Wilde. With some massive hits to her name in both decades, it was about time we celebrated her career with a Top 5 songs list.

Top 5 Songs: Gloria Estefan

It's so great to make a list of Top 5 songs every week, it's great to look back at a wonderful artist and choose the five songs of theirs that I love most. This afternoon I spent time listening to Gloria Estefan's back catalogue - that is a good afternoon.

Top 5 Songs: Sheryl Crow

I'm always a fan of the acts we celebrate with a Top 5 list, but sometimes I'm a mega fan. Counting down Sheryl Crow this week, I fall very squarely into the category of mega fan! And with over 50 million albums sold worldwide, I guess I'm not alone.

Top 5 Songs: Mariah Carey

Go big or go home they say. This week for our Top 5 list we are going very big, one of the biggest and most successful recording artists of all time, the one, the only Ms Mariah Carey.

Top 5 Songs: Jewel

Jewel is one of those artists that can break your heart. Her lyrics are like poetry and have this special ability to make you relate. I was listening to her back catalogue this week and was remembering how much I adore her music, so it felt the perfect time to celebrate the work of Jewel with a Top 5 list.

Top 5 Songs: NSYNC

Before Justin Timberlake was a megastar in his own right, he led one of the 90s best boybands, the one, the only, NSYNC. And wow, they had some amazing songs, pop gold. So it felt right to honour them this week with a Top 5 list.

Top 5 Songs: Garbage

Garbage were always an awesome act, a bit pop, a bit rock with a few other genres thrown in to make their sound brilliant, and they had so many amazing hits. With the re-release of their debut album to celebrate 20 years, it seemed the perfect time to honour them with a Top 5 list.

Top 5 Songs: Salt 'n' Pepa

Salt 'n' Pepa's here and we're in effect! Indeed! The first ladies of hip-hop, Salt 'n' Pepa, are a group that I have always adored. Fresh and funky, the ladies knew how to release great tunes, so it is with great excitement that this week we celebrate their career with a Top 5 list of their best songs.

Top 5 Songs: Spice Girls

"Colours of the world, spice up your life!" Yes indeed! The Spice Girls, you got to love them. (And if you don't, there is seriously something wrong with you) They may have only had three proper albums and a greatest hits package, but they shone bright there for a small time! It felt the right time to select them for this week's always popular Top 5 list.

Top 5 Songs: Bananarama

I love the ladies of Bananarama, their music has given me years and years of pleasure. All the way through line up changes and the decades they have continued to make pop music that is just so amazingly addictive. I'm pretty excited to compile this week's Top 5 list for the ever fabulous, Bananarama.

Top 5 Songs: The Eurythmics

I don't trust people who don't like at least one song from The Eurythmics. They have had so many iconic and wonderful pop songs, how could you not like at one? This list is more than just liking one, this week we celebrate the brilliance that is The Eurythmics with our Top 5 songs list!

Top 5 Songs: Everything But the Girl

Everything But the Girl is a group I have loved for many years. I got to see them play live at the Metro in Sydney years ago, and it was brilliant. I revisit their albums a lot, so it seemed fitting that this week's Top 5 list goes to the amazing duo, Everything But the Girl.

Top 5 Songs: Pointer Sisters

We are going right back this week for the Top 5, right back to a set of sisters who are absolutely fabulous, the Pointer Sisters. To quote the ladies, "I'm So Excited".

Top 5 Songs: Pet Shop Boys

There are few artists that I have loved as much and as long as the Pet Shop Boys. Since the 80s, the duo of Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have produced the soundtrack to a lot of my life. So I am glad to present my Top 5 Pet Shop Boys songs.

Top 5 Songs: Jennifer Lopez

She may have began her career as a dancer, and then moved to acting, but Jennifer Lopez will always be remembered mostly as a pop diva. And this pop diva has released some amazing music over the years, so I'm very happy to present my Top 5 Jennifer Lopez songs.

Top 5 Songs: Taylor Dayne

I wanted to go a bit more retro this week with the Top 5 list and tackle an artist that I look back on with more than just a bit of affection - I look back with massive love. Ladies and gents, here is my Top 5 list for the incredible Taylor Dayne.

Top 5 Songs: Take That

If asked who my favourite boyband of all time is, I would probably answer Take That - a band I have adored for many decades. Listening to their greatest hits CD on the weekend, it made me realise it was time to celebrate their greatness with a Top 5 list.

Top 5 Songs: Cyndi Lauper

Top 5 list time and this week it's an artist I truly, truly love, which of course means choosing five songs was almost impossible. Cyndi Lauper is a brilliant singer and performer, and just a genuinely fascinating human - I am pretty excited to present this list.

Top 5 Songs: Alanis Morrisette

I wasn't sure who's career I was going to celebrate with a Top 5 list week and then I saw a Facebook friend post about Alanis Morrisette's classic album, "Jagged Little Pill" turning 20 and I knew who's list I had to complete.

Top 5 Songs: Toni Braxton

Toni Braxton is one of those 90s/00s R&B/pop artists that I look back on with such affection. While she may not have had the massive discography of some of the artists I feature on the Top 5 lists, I love so many of her songs that I felt compelled to compile a Toni Braxton Top 5 list.
