The 2000s Chart Show: A 00s Pop Music Podcast

February 2005 was a momentous moment in the chart, when the 1000th number one single was achieved by a very dead Elvis Presley.As promised, we are celebrating this landmark with a 10 part series, in which I count down my absolute favourite number ones from the start of the UK top 40 in 1952 to the start of 2005. That means talking about some of the biggest acts in pop history: Beatles, Stones, Abba, Spice Girls, Madonna, Britney, Kylie, Blur, Elvis and many, many, many more. It also means talking about some of the maddest crap that ever graced the top spot of the top 40.So what to expect from our first 10 entries? Expect animated bands, duos with weird psychosexual feelings for each other, a reality TV show single that's actually good and much much more.

Will being dead stop Tupac getting his first number one? Did Richard Hard-Fi REALLY date Scarlett Johansson? What x-rated gift did Eminem give Elton for his wedding?Find the answers to all these questions and more on the latest episode of the 2000s pop music podcast where ever week we relive the 40 biggest selling songs from this week 20 years ago.This week, we're discussing the following: Akon - LonelyAmerie - 1 ThingAudio Bullys feat.

Is that the ring (ding ding) of cash machines I hear? Why have one set of DJs try to shamelessly cash in on the Crazy Frog trend when you can have two - including an icon of the early episodes of The 2000s Chart Show.Elsewhere in this week's episode of the podcast where every week we relive the 40 biggest selling songs of the week 20 years ago: We examine what went wrong with Ashanti's career, learn about a vicious feud in the band Good Charlotte and hear Jonathan Ross accuse Jay Kay of Jamiroquai of being a "sweaty man".All that plus new releases from Ashanti, Audioslave, The Departure, Good Charlotte, Jamiroquai, John Legend, The Ordinary Boys, Pondlife, Saint Etienne, U2 and UB40.

Better late than never, here is a bonus episode, because we couldn't talk about 2005 and not talk about Crazy Frog vs. Coldplay. Although as I put this episode together, I realise that the real battle is between two infinitely better songs further down the top 10 - Amerie's 1 Thing and Audio Bullys' Shot You Down.And if that wasn't enough, Hollaback Girl!This week's episode of The 2000s Chart Show features the following songs:Akon - LonelyAmerie - 1 ThingArcade Fire - Power OutAudio Bullys feat.
