Every Number One Ever

Well yeah. It’s another episode. What do you want from us? Some detailed description of its content?! This was recorded literally days ago, we can’t be expected to remember what’s in it! If those are your expectations it’s going to be a very long three year project. Temper your demands. Oh and it’s not an Xmas episode. That’s not our format.

And lo, we find ourself in week 5 (yes 5!) of our on-going project to examine and throw out popular music's less salubrious moments. Did we do well this week? Have we been too harsh to them? Or have we not punished them harshly enough? You decide.

Another Monday means another blast from the codpast of Every Number One Ever. In this episode we'll hear Matthew come up against the physical limitations of the human voice and one of Liam's nemesises (nemeses? maybe?) sneaks into the pantheon. Podcast go!

Our third proper episode. Thats one episode for every 2.6213 billion people on the planet. Aren't we generous?! This weeks sees us dipping our hands into the fetid tide pool of pop and retrieving a pearl or two. But what other dangers lurk within the depths? Is that treasure? Or just an old bicycle wheel from the 1970s?

As our format starts to settle like a snow globe shook by a child, or a body on the bottom of the lake, Liam decides its time to set a precedent and we all reminisce about THAT jeans advert and what a disappointment that turned out to be. Will it be a clean sweep? Or will we get stuck in the mud? Probably.

Our inaugural episode sees the boys tackle a frankly fantastic opening tune, some less the savoury characters, and start work on the brand new pantheon of pop!

Hello dear listener! As we embark on a deep dive into the murky world of UK pop history, its probably worth setting out some basic rules and introducing what we're trying to do.

If you're a first time listener, or just fancy a refresher, this is the episode for you!

Prepare yourself (and your feeds) for Every Number One Ever! A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now launching soon.
