So this week i'm celebrating all things 2002...

This was the year i finally got an Internet Connection, and so music became a lot more accessible for me.

I remember downloading a lot of music off of Napster etc, and so i stated to stop buying CD singles every week.

2002 was a good year for music, a lot of club tracks were out, and everyone had an obsession with double lettering (Dirrty, Freek etc).

It was also the year that I went to my first pop concert, going to see Kylie Minogues Fever Tour and then buying my first DVD (of the same tour) later that year.

I finally came out as being gay in this year too, and so going clubbing up in London I would hear a lot of songs that I didn't really know before but would love.

I was still very much into Kylie Minogue & Dannii Minogue at this time, also was big into Christina Aguilera, Mis-Teeq, Aaliyah (after she died :( ), Liberty X & Sugababes.

2002 also was the year when Girls Aloud were formed off Popstars: The Rivals. I still remember hearing "Sound Of The Underground" for the first time and thinking is this it? It's funny, cos when I look back...it's a killer track, and of course they so deserved to win that show.

So what are your memories of 2002?

^ Hehe, I've always wanted a pretty banner...
So I'm fairly bored, and was wondering which female artists had the most plays. I already knew that Britney Spears had the highest play count, but just thought it may be interesting to see the rest. I'm updating figures where possible, the top twenty are checked fairly often as they're most likely to change, but I try to check the rest too.

1. How did you get into 29? (t.A.T.u.)
Gosh, that's a strange story. When they first appeared, I was afraid of their video to 'Nas Nie Dogoniat'. It was so dark and fast and strange to me then. But later their songs on 'Dangerous and Moving' just mysteriously appealed to me and I just got into them. I must admit twas a short affair and they got soon abandoned. Now when I'm in the proper mood, I sometimes listen to them. But their golden times on my recently played tracks are gone.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Imogen Heap)
I guess it was a song done when she still was a member of Frou Frou. I heard them for the first time while watching Shrek. They did a cover of Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding Out For A Hero.'

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? (Kasia Stankiewicz)
It's a line from her 'Piosenka Kasi"'song. It goes like 'Chciałabym mieć duszę z czekolady i móc łyżką ją podjadać gdy przerasta mózg' which means 'I'd like to have a soul made of chocolate and eat it with a spoon when it gets bigger than brain.'

4. What is your favorite album by 49? (Nicole Scherzinger)
Well... she hasn't released any yet.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Maria Mena)

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (The Bird and the Bee)
No, there is no such song.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? (Rogue Traders)
