Every Number One Ever

Please insert something fun or witty or downright shocking here yourself dear listener. We're over halfway through this project and not only am I out of ideas, but my eyes hurt from looking at our RSS feed for too long...

It quite a good episode tho. Just to keep it fresh Liam and Craig clash... again.

An episode of arguments, disappointments, broken promises and strange reversals of opinions. We try not to kill each other and provide entertainment at the same time... its a real tightrope sometimes!

Ahhh... listen to that rasping, resonant sound as we scrape the barrel for nine more random number ones from UK history. Some absolute horrors on show this week, but will there be any gold in the mix?

Its all the things you hope for in an episode: some big famous tracks, some absolute dross, some forgotten gems, and some spicy opinions. Plus, we open our union jack parachute.

Listen! Listen to us talk about noise!... YEAH!

Now that we've careered past the halfway mark its getting harder and harder to write these things. But I promise you there's some legitimately decent tunes in this week's show.

You will find moments where the quality (not the audio but rather the humans) in this podcast changes drastically. This episode was stitched together from a few records to make Craig seem like he was functional. Its not quite Weekend at Bernies but he's definitely close to death's door.

This is a bumper episode this week and all because we get our 718th track in this episode. And yes that is incredibly important. Plus Liam makes a shocking confession.

Is it a Les Dawson joke? Probably, but we are nowhere near as funny as that (winks and points). This week we continue our trek through the sonic sludge of the pop charts, on a quest ever onwards towards the goal of a complete and beautiful pantheon. There's one song this week that is guaranteed to start an argument...

When you're gambling, sometimes things seem like a stretch, other times like a sure thing. This week, we must be onto a sure thing. Surely...? And then Queen's guitarist gets involved in a very strange way indeed.

You might need to take a few minutes to collect your thoughts after this show. This one is a big one - all kinds of nonsense ensues, and we manage to rattle through it (thanks to a heavy edit) in under an hour! "Whirlwind" is an understatement.
