When Britney said 'I need time and space', we fully respected her wishes... which is why we have split this monumental "Britney" album era into two episodes.

So, say 'hello' to Part 2. We are picking things up at in 2002 with the other singles from this era after deep-diving into 'I'm A Slave 4 U' and our album highlights in the last episode. Here, Joel and David compare the videos for 'Overprotected' and the 'Overprotected (Darkchild Remix)', and get into the visual storytelling and references behind the music. The "Crossroads" action is in full swing here with the gorgeous ballad 'I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman' (Dido fans, rise up!). And your RBAY boys also prepare to get 'nasty' to the dead rockeh 'I Love Rock & Roll' and 'Boys' singles - including the spicy single remix featuring Pharrell.

Is this thing on? Pop fans, we have been Anticipating this deep dive into one of Britney Spears’ most seminal albums: “Britney”. Arriving in 2001, ahead of her 20th birthday, our teen-pop sensation was growing up and is making sure the world is hearing what she has to say. 

Join Joel and David as they dive into this iconic body of work over a two-part episode. This was a massive era for our Brit. Following two record-breaking albums, a massive first world tour and signing a multi-million dollar deal with Pepsi, she’s also making her film debut with “Crossroads”.

Here in Part 1, we focus on the industry-shaking lead single ‘I’m A Slave 4 U’ - which saw Britney unapologetically owning her sexuality and flaunting a new sound. We get into the music video, legendary 2001 MTV VMAs performance, her new image and styling and so much more.

True to our chronological style, we dive into our favourite album highlights before we get to the other singles in the next episode. 

Britney’s DNA is all over this album, with her co-writing several tracks and collaborating with Pharrell and N.E.R.D., Max Martin, Darkchild, Justin Timberlake and Nile Rodgers. From ‘Anticipating’ to ‘Before The Goodbye’, ‘Lonely’, ‘Cinderella’ and more… we are truly feasting on this episode!

As Our Kylie prepares to kick off the Tension World Tour this month, Joel and David don the old ostrich-feathered headdresses and step back in time for a little Showgirl glamour! 

We pick up our Kylie Ann journey in 2004 with her immaculately presented "Ultimate Kylie" compilation. Together we revisit the stunning Scissor Sisters co-write 'I Believe In You' and the edgy Xenomania gems 'Giving You Up' and 'Made of Glass' - plus a couple lost tracks from this era (shout out, 'Lovin You' and 'Everything I Know').

Next, we strap on the sparkly heels and take you on a glittery journey through highlights from Kylie's epic 2005 "Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour". This dazzling career-spanning concert really had it all, from the 80s crowd-pleaser hits through to the artistic 90s gems and early 2000s renaissance hits! Wall to wall classics: 'I Should Be So Lucky', 'Hand On Your Heart', 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', 'Confide In Me', 'Slow', 'Red Blooded Woman' and so much more!

Pour yourself a little Kylie wine and prepare to twirl with your favourite 2000s pop explorers with this one. But... whatever you do, don't run to the bar during the encore!

Are we witnessing one of pop's greatest vindications right now? This month marks the 15th anniversary of Heidi Montag's "Superficial" - a fabulous album of 'all killers no fillers' that was largely misunderstood by the general public at the time. 

Fast forward to 2025 and the album finally cracked the Billboard 200 for the first time this week, thanks to the overwhelming support of fans and a long-overdue reappraisal, sparked by a rogue album track ('I'll Do It') going TikTok viral!  

This iconique body of work features contributions from A-list pop hitmakers like Cathy Dennis (Kylie, Britney), Steve Morales (Enrique Iglesias, Celine Dion), and more! Joel - our resident OG Heidi Montag stan - is coming into the spotlight on this one to share his favourite "Superficial" highlights and give us a guided tour of her pop gems like 'Body Language', 'Fashion' (originally by Lady Gaga), 'Blackout', 'More Is More', and 'Higher'.

Rising to global stardom through MTV's hit reality series The Hills, Heidi Blair Montag and hubby Spencer Pratt have been a power couple in reality entertainment for almost 20 years. It has been wonderful to see the internet rally behind Heidi and Spencer. We are sending their family and everyone affected by the devastating California wildfires so much love in these times.

Are you ready to let yourself go and 'Get Right' with your Right Back At Ya! boys? We're about to sign you up to an all-inclusive 20th anniversary celebration of Jennifer Lopez's deliciously funky R&B album, "Rebirth".

For over two decades and counting, J.Lo has consistently proven why she is one of pop's greatest living entertainers! From the blockbuster movies (hello "Monster-In-Law") to chart-topping albums and singles, hugely successful fragrance and clothing line; nobody was making a killing like her. 

Joel and David hop 'on the 6' time machine and whizz back to 2005, where Our Jennifer Lynn (as she's affectionately known on the pod) is making a fresh start after splitting with Ben Affleck the first time. The Bronx diva came back with one of her hottest records, 'Get Right' - thanks to the funk go-go genius producer Rich Harrison. This instant smash, complete with an unforgettable multi-character music video, symbolised Jenny showing up and showing off what she does best!

With Fat Joe, Timbaland, Brandy, Darkchild, Marc Anthony, Danja and more involved; "Rebirth" really deserved to have been an even bigger album with more singles! #JusticeForRebirth

Stand up, Soldiers! We are kicking off 2025 strong with a celebration of Cheryl's monumental chart-topping debut solo album era. After seven years with Girls Aloud and winning hearts as a judge on The X Factor, our Nation's Sweetheart went all in with 'Fight For This Love' - not only a powerful statement in the midst of the media frenzy surrounding her personal life, but a killer debut solo outing! 

The album that followed, "3 Words", was exec produced by Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am - a major co-sign from one of the planet's biggest hitmakers at the time, which helped Chezza chart in countries Girls Aloud had never had a chance to crack before. 

Join Joel and David as they pick their album faves and break down the singles ('Fight For This Love', '3 Words' and 'Parachute') and their stunning music videos, unforgettable live performances, and b-sides! And while we've got you, pet. Fancy a tipple at "Cheryl Cole's Night In" with Holly Willoughby, Alexandra Burke and Rihanna? 

It's always Happy Hour when we're covering Girls Aloud on this podcast. Let us know in the comment what you'd like to hear next.

"Hi, it's us. You won't believe what we're doing." Pop fans, for our final episode of 2024 we absolutely couldn't miss celebrating 21 years of Victoria Beckham's final solo single (to date).

Join Joel and David as they revisit one of their favourite solo Spice Girls eras: Victoria Beckham's double A-side single 'This Groove' / 'Let Your Head Go'. Two different vibes, two stunning music videos and live performance meauxments that dominated telly throughout December 2003 and January 2004.

Posh went all out with the electro-pop dance banger 'Let Your Head Go' and the silky, R&B siren's bop 'This Groove', giving fans a taste of two potential bodies of work from her new record deal with Telstar Records.

We revisit the lore of this era all the way through to the R&B-flavoured tracks exec produced by hip-hop mogul Damon Dash of Roc-A-Fella Records that were included on "The Réal Beckhams" DVD. Most infamously, 'Resentment', which was later covered by Beyoncé.

What solo Spice Girls project should we revisit next? Let us know in the comments!

Pop fans, we've got one more festive season treat for you! Joel and David are back with a fun recap of a truly wild moment in television history. Let's head back to Christmas Day 2003 when Simon Fuller pulled out all stops for a one-off global competition: "World Idol".

Throw in some crazy judges comments for some extra drama (hello Simon Cowell and Pete Waterman!), plus, exclusive live performances from the one and only Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John... and you've got one hell of a ride for Christmas and New Year's Day. Thank you for joining us this year! You best believe we have a jam-packed 2025 planned for you.

We are kicking off the year-end party season with a recap of Girls Aloud's brilliant 2008 ITV special, "The Girls Aloud Party". With comedy sketches - featuring appearances by Cilla Black, Paul O'Grady and more - as well as exclusive performances of songs from their "Out of Control" album; this was an imperial Girls Aloud era. There was truly something for everyone here - from performances of their well-worn hits like 'Something Kinda Ooooh' to 'Love Machine' through to more 'current' material like 'The Promise' and 'The Loving Kind', and duets with The Kaiser Chiefs and the very dishy (or so David thinks) James Morrison. Hopefully this episode will give you a chuckle and keep you company during this festive season. If you're doing your Christmas wrapping or going on a trip listening to this, let us know where we're going!
