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'
