Take That — 'Greatest Day'
Girls Aloud — 'The Promise'
Kaiser Chiefs — 'Never Miss A Beat'
Dizzee Rascal — 'Dance Wiv Me'
Duffy — 'Mercy'
McFly — 'One For The Radio'
Gabriella Cilmi — 'Sweet About Me'
Pussycat Dolls — 'When I Grow Up'
Gerladine — 'The Winners Song'
Keane — 'Spiralling'
Leona Lewis — 'Run'
Alexandra Burke — 'Hallelujah'
