  1. The music industry lets Girls Aloud (and Kelly Clarkson) down again (19-25 March 2006)

    1 DAY AGO

    The music industry lets Girls Aloud (and Kelly Clarkson) down again (19-25 March 2006)

    This week on the podcast telling the stories of the biggest songs from this week 20 year ago…This is a baffling week on the 2000s charts for me. Why is Kelly Clarkson being beaten by a less good version of herself literally using the same songwriter? How could the pop music industry fumble the singles from Girls Aloud’s best album so badly? Why don’t the British record buying public appreciate Beverley Knight and Massive Attack more? And maybe most importantly of all...why do those three wise men get a semi by the sea? All of these questions about 2006 pop will (hopefully) be answered in our latest episode alongside the following tracks: Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down Battle - Tendency Beverley Knight - Piece of My Heart Be Your Own Pet - Adventure The Black Eyed Peas - Pump It Bow Wow feat. Ciara - Like You Charlotte Church - Moodswings (To Come at Me Like That) Chico - It’s Chico Time Chris Brown feat. Juelz Santana - Run It Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On Craig David - Unbelievable Fall Out Boy - Sugar We’re Going Down The Feeling - Sewn Girls Aloud - Whole Lotta History Hi-Tack - Say Say Say (Waiting 4 U) Hilary Duff - Fly Jack Johnson - Better Together James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover James Blunt - Wisemen Joey Negro - Make a Move on Me José Gonzalez - Heartbeats Kanye West feat. Lupe Fiasco - Touch the Sky Keisha White - The Weakness in Me Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away Madonna - Sorry Massive Attack - Live With Me Meck feat. Leo Sayer - Thunder in My Heart Again Michael Jackson - Beat It Ne-Yo - So Sick Notorious B.I.G. feat. Diddy and Nelly - Nasty Girl The Ordinary Boys - Boys Will Be Boys Orson - No Tomorrow Placebo - Because I Want You The Pussycat Dolls feat. will.i.am - Beep Ray J - One Wish Shakira - Don’t Bother The Shapeshifters - Incredible The Source feat.
