    Pink, a Robbie Williams Flop and Keane Getting Emo (28 May - 3 June 2006)

    It’s another week in 2006, and Robbie Williams is casually bankrupting EMI, Pink is releasing her last good ballad and Matt from Busted is having a go at a solo track after both Charlie and James’ careers are all but over.Elsewhere in the pop charts...Brittany Murphy launches a pop career tragically cut short, Jack Johnson is calming things down a bit, and Keane are getting through a lot of rock and roll shenanigans for such a mild-mannered band, but the biggest shocker of all is how good their song is. And while one hugely successful band from 2003 continues their success three years later, another is falling apart in a spectacular style as The Darkness release their last top 40 hit.This week’s ep features the following songs:The Black Eyed Peas - Pump It Beatfreakz - Somebody’s Watching Me Busta Rhymes - Touch It Chicane feat. Tom Jones - Stoned in Love Chris Brown - Yo (Excuse Me Miss) Christina Milian feat. Young Jeezy - Say I The Darkness - Girlfriend Daz Sampson - Teenage Life Dirty Pretty Things - Bang Bang You’re Dead Fall Out Boy - Dance Dance The Feeling - Fill My Little World The Futureheads - Skip to the End Gnarls Barkley - Crazy Infernal - From Paris to Berlin Jack Johnson - Upside Down Keane - Is It Any Wonder The Kooks - Naive Little Man Tate - What What You Got LL Cool J feat.

    Rihanna's SOS and 39 other less good songs from 2006 (16-22 April 2006)

    “SOS please someone help me. It’s not healthy for me to feel this way” about a pop song. But that’s just how I feel about Rihanna’s SOS, one of the true starmaking tracks of the decade. Which of course means it’s probably going to be beat by a drippy ballad from Shayne Ward off of that X Factor. So the 2000s charts go. Do Rihanna and Shayne Ward have what it takes to knock Gnarls Barkley off the top, or will it be the job of Gorillaz, Infernal, Fall Out Boy, Hard-Fi or Jamie Foxx. Find out as we deep dive into another week on the 2006 charts. Which pop stars has MULTIPLE family members in prison for murder? Which Danish band is basically forced into doing an England World Cup song? And which singer had to present a TV show with Holly Willoughby where every presenter had to be barefoot. Find out as we tell another set of tales from 2000s music, in the only music history podcast that every episode counts down the top 40 singles chart from this week 20 years ago. This week featuring the following songs:Beverley Knight - Piece of My Heart The Black Eyed Peas - Pump It Chico - It’s Chico Time Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On Embrace - Nature’s Law Fall Out Boy - Dance Dance The Feeling - Sewn Gnarls Barkley - Crazy Gorillaz - Kids With Guns/El Manana Hard-Fi - Better Do Better Infernal - From Paris to Berlin James Blunt - Wisemen Jamie Foxx feat.

    This week on our look at the music that came out this week in 2006, we’re going literally from the sublime to ridiculous, in a chart that takes us from one of the most emotional songs ever written in U2’s One’s to one of the stupidest tracks ever, D4L’s Laffy Taffy. In between, we get Franz Ferdinand singing about Jesus, Morrissey discussing losing his virginity, Michael Jackson terrified by the idea of a woman’s sexuality and The Zutons’ ode to keeping women locked in your basement (do not try this at home, kids).In short, another typically weird look into the pop music of the 2000s.
