If David Guetta seemed out of place for this chart, then this one really probably doesn't even belong. Firstly, the Backstreet Boys are American and are in no way european (although some might argue on the trash side). The reason why they DO belong is that the only real reason this track is any good is because of the involvement of none other than RedOne who brings them back from the dead and into 2009 with Straight Through My Heart.
The track had moderate success around the world, reaching the top 20 in Canada (where BSB have always found some of their most success) and the top 10 in Sweden (where RedOne hails from and where his songs have had much success for the likes of Lady Gaga and Darin among others). If RedOne can do it for BSB I think it is proven he can do it for anyone - he's been a huge part of Lady Gaga's biggest hits from The Fame and I'll position this song's inclusion as homage to him. If you close your eyes (the overdone vampire theme to the video really ruins it), the song really is quite good and very reminiscent of Breathing Your Love from Darin with that undeniable RedOne sound.
