2002 4ever
Its raining huns.

It started with the dulcet tones of Dido, performing her brooding hit Here With Me.
The Best British Single category.
Ultimately, S Club 7 took the trophy home, but the real winners?
Us, the public.
Such a random mix!
Obsessed that Bob the Builder managed to worm his way in there, says @LoveofHuns.
For me personally, its between two top contenders: S Club 7 and Geri Halliwell.
I would have been happy with either one.
Such a hard year.
They’re all so good!
With more than 638,000 followers,@LoveOfHunsis a bona fide expert in the intricacies of 00s pop culture.
There were a lot ofBig Brothermarathons and oldEastEndersclips in our lives at the time.
We all shared the same love of 00s pop culture and how ridiculous it all was.
That was how all of our hangovers were spent, and the page just kind of grew.
And unlike other meme subjects, huns are celebrated with warm, genuine adoration.
@LoveOfHuns top-tier huns?
Sounds like the perfectCome Dine With Melineup, frankly.
It was nice that I could entertain people, they say.
Its quite niche, and something that everyone can enjoy together.
Its always nice to get messages from people.
One time, Katy Perry even piped up!
That was a very bizarre and confusing moment.
But what of the bizarre and confusing award for Best British Single nominees from the 2002 BRITS?
Here, @LoveOfHuns breaks it down, including a definitive hun rating from each act.
Surely that was S Clubs peak around 2002?
I feel like they were the biggest British band of the time.
Theyre a quintessential British pop band, arent they?
And this is a very hun song.
For me, this is a top contender.
Hun rating: A solid 9/10
Bob the Builder Mambo No.
5
Bob is definitely a hun-enabler and a British icon.
For me, that song is a primary school disco song, but I think he did it justice.
Bob is the builder of us huns.
I could also see him doing brand partnerships with B&M.
I was actually shocked to find out Bob was in the running.
Hes not giving full hunness, but hes definitely up there.
Its Raining Men is such an iconic cover and a massive LGBTQ+ song.
You cannot go to a gay bar without hearing it.
Geris performances of the song are just the highest camp thing ever.
The fact that it was on the Bridget Jones soundtrack just makes it the creme de la creme.
Bridget Jones is a 00s hun, too.
Thank God, I panicked for a second.
It can come on at any point in the night, and itll get everyone going.
I like the song, but hes not giving me much.
I couldnt tell you about any of his personality traits.
I love the fact that the football lads love it and the huns love it.
Its a universal bop, and one of Atomic Kittens biggest and best songs.
Each member is fully embracing 00s hun culture of that era through the music videos.
This one for me ranks quite high.
Hun rating: 8/10
DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremonies Do You Really Like It?
[Singing] Do you really like it?I think this one is a hun garage song.
If you were out at a brunch and this came on, all the huns would get going.
I couldnt tell you what DJ Pied Piper looks like though, and I dont think hes a hun.
It is a banger though, and everyone knows it.
Hun rating: 6.5/10
HearSay Pure and Simple
I love Pure and Simple.
I cant imagine this playing at a brunch.
Out of all of them, this one is the oddball.
Its a bit awkward and embarrassing that theyre here, TBH.
Theyre giving me 00s, but theyre not giving me hun.
How many people were in So Solid Crew again… about 25?
Lisa Maffia is definitely a hun, but apart from her, So Solid Crew are not huns.
Robbie Williams Eternity/The Road To Mandalay
I dont even know that one.
Should I know that one?
Why has he got a double whammy when everyone else only gets one?
[The Road to Mandalay plays down the phone.]
Oh OK, I recognise it.
Robbie Williams is a bit of a hun, but hes also quite annoying.
I dont rate it that highly, is that harsh?
If it was Angels, itd be another story, but these feel like some of his weakest songs.
Hun rating: 5.5/10
