This is one of the years I'd also LOVE to come back to... but - no time machine created that we know of yet <:) So, here's something to remember! ;)
Of course, Kylie Minogue! :) The year saw Red Blooded Woman and Chocolate videos from Body Language, but also Ultimate Kylie (Greatest Hits) was released and I Believe In You is a very memorable song for many people. It is written by Kylie and Scissor Sisters members Jake Shears and Babydaddy. The single peaked at #2 in the United Kingdom and at #6 in Australia. The song became a dance club hit in the United States, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2005 and earning a nomination for a 2006 Grammy Award in the "Best Dance Recording" category. The song also spent six weeks at #1 on the airplay chart.
"Left Outside Alone" is a song by Anastacia from her 3rd studio album, Anastacia, following her cancer battle.

I still get goosebumps listening to thins one! "I Don't Wanna Know" is a 2004 song by Mario Winans, featuring a rap by P. Diddy and sampling from Enya's song "Boadicea". It reached #1 in the United Kingdom and in Netherlands, also it reached #2 (for 8 consecutive weeks) in the United States, and remains Winans' only major success to date.

It was released as the album's second and final single in early 2004, peaking at #5 on the UK Singles Chart.
And oh how I love this one: "Burn" (also known as "Let It Burn") is a song by Usher, which he wrote with American songwriters Jermaine Dupri, Bryan-Michael Cox for his 4th studio album, Confessions (2004). It is about breakup in a relationship, and the public referred to it as an allusion to Usher's personal struggles.
The song was released as the second single from the album in July 2004. The single topped various charts around the world, including the Billboard Hot 100 for 8 non-consecutive weeks. The song succeeded "Yeah!" at the #1 position. Both singles gave Usher 19 consecutive weeks with a song in the top spot, longer than any solo artist of the Hot 100 era.
What about this super catchy one: "Thank You" was the 3rd single from British R&B star Jamelia's 2nd album Thank You. The song, released in the UK on 24 February 2004, became Jamelia's highest charting single in the UK to date, peaking at #2, and spending 14 weeks within the whole UK Singles Chart. Following the release of this single, the album Thank You was re-released, peaking at #4 in the UK Albums Chart.
