Number 27
Girls Aloud
"Chemistry"
Released: December 5th 2005
Key Tracks: "Biology" / "Long Hot Summer" / "Swinging London Town"
Having already released two stone cold pop classics in "Sound of the Underground" and "What Will the Neighbours Say?", it was with their third album "Chemistry" that Girls Aloud finally found their sound.
There have been few better pop songs in living memory than "Biology", both Girls Aloud and producer/writer team Xenomania's greatest three and a half minutes. And the rest of the album follows suit, with wonky beats, a lack of proper choruses, yet extremely catchy songs.
Girls Aloud may not be everyone's cup of tea, but with "Chemistry" they made an essential pop record, and that's why it's made the countdown.
