Released by Amy Winehouse in 2006, "Back to Black" received universal acclaim by music critics, who praised the song's stylings as a throwback to the girl groups of the 1960s.

KT Tunstall released "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" in 2005. While the song did some time at the bottom of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, Katharine McPhee's rendition during the fifth season of "American Idol" helped the song rise in popularity quite quickly.
