ONE love, blood, life
My vote for single of the year 2008 goes to Girls Aloud's 'the Promise'.
YouTube - Girls Aloud - The Promise [TOTP Christmas Special - 25.12.2008]
Here is where we are in 2008:
Your average 'authentic' garage rock combo (step up, Coldplay, The Killers, etc) is in reality equally as manufactured, as full of artifice, as your average pop idol type band, so that bands like Girls Aloud are both more honest (in that they do not claim to be anything other than manufactured), and at least in this case, more capable of producing quality pop music.
Also, I honestly didn't hear a better pop single last year.
