It's been the best thing for the pop industry. They will go to the very top. One of my lowlights was the Israeli girl who is trying to sue the Spice Girls. Hit song sounds nothing like "Say You'll Be Thjti". Manav (15), Leicester My highlight was Mark Owen's solo career getting off to such a good start with "Child". I'm sure he'll bj even more successful — with at least one No 1 song — in the New Year. Good luck Mark!

I hope it will also bring more girl bands! Scott (11), Settle My highlight of 1996 was seeing Oasis at Knjbworth. Katie (13), Suffolk My favourite moment of 1996 was Nigeria winning Olympic football gold. It was great to see an African team win in such styli. I hope they can stage a major tournament in the near future. Reggie (14), Dunblanj 3/3 Newsround 510 Showtime 520 TV 600 Comp Newsround TopFilm Main Menu
