Let's go, eskimo...Girls Aloud are back with Love Machine, a song that the band hated. And they're not the only ones who despise their own songs this week, as Joss Stone and Eric Prydz have also had very few words to say about their tracks either...

Also on this week's edition of the 2000s pop music podcast that's reliving the top 40 singles chart from this week years ago:

• Which singer went to prison for manslaughter and then just a few months later got amnesia from a car accident?
• Why is there huge controversy in the music industry about the song Call on Me (apart from that v. thrusty music video)?
• Which band's name is nearly an anagram of 'gay nerd'?
• Why were the 2005 Grammys refuse to give awards to anyone who was actually relevant?
• How did I deal with the break-up of my first (and only) heterosexual relationship?
• Which Irish legend told Jim from The Corrs that he needed to "get a life"?
• Why did everyone in 2004 know Johnny Borrell from Razorlight's phone number?

All that plus the usual pop music nostalgia, '00s trivia and new to 2004 tunes from Annie, Beastie Boys, Bryan Adams, Cassidy, The Corrs, Dido, Eric Prydz, Girls Aloud, Green Day, Interpol, Joss Stone, Razorlight, Status Quo, Thirteen Senses and The 22-20s.
