Gary Allan spent nine weeks at number two during the summer with "It Would Be You" earning enough points to make him the year's top male artist. He was the only male soloist to place a single in the female dominated year end top ten. Top new act Natalie Imbruglia from Australia also peaked at number two with "Torn". Alanis Morissette and Celine Dion each produced a pair of number one singles during the year. Alanis Morissette took "Uninvited" from City Of Angels to the top, while Celine Dion was represented by "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.
