We study spectral properties of Anzai skew products $T_{φ}: 𝕋² → 𝕋²$ defined by
$T_{φ}(z,ω) = (e^{2πiα}z,φ(z)ω)$,
where α is irrational and φ: 𝕋 → 𝕋 is a measurable cocycle. Precisely, we deal with the case where φ is piecewise absolutely continuous such that the sum of all jumps of φ equals zero. It is shown that the simple continuous singular spectrum of $T_{φ}$ on the orthocomplement of the space of functions depending only on the first variable is a "typical" property in the above-mentioned class of cocycles, if α admits a sufficiently fast approximation.
