    This story from the UK top 40 singles chart we’re looking at this week all seem united by one thing...how it sucks to be a famous pop star.

    My Chemical Romance, David Hasselhoff and (unfortunately) P. Diddy (8 - 14 October 2006)

    It’s always fun when the British record buying public get behind a totally rubbish song, and 2006 gave us a classic example as the UK tried to get David Hasselhoff’s ‘Jump in My Car’ to the top spot. It has some fierce competition from some actual pop songs, legendary emo tracks and whatever P. Diddy’s ‘Come to Me’ is supposed to be. Will ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ be parading its way to the top of the charts, or will Razorlight finally get the chart-topper landfill indie lover were hoping for? Let’s find out as we dive into another classic week of 2000s pop music history from the UK top 40 singles chart.

    Fergie's 'London Bridge' and Jamelia Calling Javine a Slag (10 - 16 Sep 2006)

    “Yeah, but she really is a slag though.” With those immortal words, Jamelia bodied Javine...but while that line is still rightly celebrated, we have forgotten how great Jamelia’s music was in 2006. Luckily, your favourite 2000s pop music history where every episode we’re revisiting the UK top 40 singles chart from this week 20 years ago is here to change that. This week, we’re also talking about Fergie’s ridiculous solo debut (and inability to tell London’s bridges apart), Kelis starting a feud with 50 Cent and the weirdest piece of promo I’ve ever seen a flop pop star do in all my time researching the 00s.

    Robbie's 'Rudebox', Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous' and the Return of Scissor Sisters (3 - 9 September 2006)

    Few pieces of pop music have dented a career quite like Robbie Williams’ Rudebox, so I’m so glad to finally be able to talk about this weird electro-rap song about how TK Maxx costs less and how you don’t sweat much for a fat lass. Once called the worst song ever, is it (whisper it) actually a brilliant piece of 2000s pop? We find out on the latest episode of the music history podcast where every week we relive the singles chart from this week 20 years ago. Elsewhere on the pop music charts this week in 2006: Nelly Furtado’s US number one finally gets its UK release - which Nelly seems intent to destroy the memory of with her weird new version. Plus the Scissor Sisters are back with Elton John in tow and their biggest track yet, I Don’t Feel like Dancin’.Also on this week’s edition of The 2000s Chart Show: * Muse spell out ‘T**S’ in Morse Code * Sandi Thom has a meltdown * We discover the real person that inspired Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis All that plus the following 2006 tracks:Arctic Monkeys - Leave Before the Lights Come On Basement Jaxx - Hush Boy Beyoncé feat.
