"Absolutely Everybody" is a song by Vanessa Amorosi, released as the second single from her debut album, The Power in 1999 by Transistor Music Australia. The song reached number 6 in Australia, number 2 in Ireland, and the top 10 in several European countries.

Song information

"Absolutely Everybody" debuted and peaked at number 6 on the ARIA Single Charts, her fourth highest charting single to date. It was the 74th best-selling single of 1999 and the 40th best-selling single for 2000 in that country (on the year-end chart exclusively for Australian artists, the song came in 10th for 1999 and 8th for 2000). It remained in the ARIA Singles Chart for over six months after its release.[2] Shortly after her Olympics performances, the song was released internationally and reached the top 10 in the United Kingdom, throughout Europe, and Southeast Asia. The song's highest peak was in Ireland, where it reached number 2 behind "My Love" by Westlife.

For her service to music, Amorosi was later awarded the Australian Centenary Medal by the Government of Australia. "Absolutely Everybody", with its positive lyrics, became an unofficial theme song for various cultural events. The song had four different music videos. The first was released in Australia in 1999, followed by the Australian Millennium version; the other two videos were made for the British and German markets, respectively, in 2000.
