50. "somebody like you," keith urban
the first aussie country singer to make it big here since - olivia (I mean bigger than jamie o'neal)? - gets over on two things: his lovely looks (and locks), and his personality. urban's got an electric smile, and a voice to match, one which makes you believe every word he's singing. he's also an accomplished picker of both the guitar and the banjo, and it's his banjo which opens the song. thoroughly refreshing in these days of somewhat whitewashed nashville country, especially in a single that spent 6 weeks topping billboard's hot country singles & tracks chart. the song itself is a blissful declaration of love and devotion, the kind you only hear in songs and movies anymore - but with a sincerity that sucks you in.
