Her sister Kylie has been a staple on the Official Chart for almost 30 years, but for a brief moment in time, both Minogue sisters dominated the UK singles chart. 

Back in 2003, Dannii released her fourth album Neon Nights; a collection of slinky electro-pop that was to become her most successful record on UK shores, spawning four Top 10 hits.

The collection was initially trailed by the '80s disco bop Put The Needle On It, but it was the follow-up I Begin To Wonder that went on to become her biggest chart hit, peaking at Number 2 exactly 13 years ago this week.

I Begin To Wonder was originally performed by German producer Jean-Claude Ades and was later played to Dannii by her label London Records, who believed they could turn it into a pop smash. The song opened with first-week sales of 33,000 (remember sales were lower overall at this time), and to date, has sold just over 113,000. 

And the song that kept it off the top spot? Christina Aguilera's Beautiful, which logged its second and final week at Number 1. See the Top 10 from this week in 2003 below, including new entries from Eminem, Nelly and Darius(!), and click on the image to see the full Top 100.
