The 2000s Chart Show

A huge week for pop fans, with 15 new entries battling it out to knock the Pussycat Dolls from their perch at the top of the charts.

It’s a huge week. Sugababes are pretending to get on to promote Push the Button, but are just months away from Mutya leaving. Charlotte Church is trying to get rid of her child star image with her ode to bondage Call My Name. Liberty X are hanging on for dear life to their careers. Tatu are causing absolute havoc wherever they go. Jo from S Club is trying to launch a solo career way too late. Ms Dynamite is trying to make a comeback with some pretty alarming lyrics, and New Order are falling apart.

Discover a deranged week in 2000s pop in the latest episode of The 2000s Chart Show, the podcast where every week we relive the 40 biggest selling songs from this week in 2005.

It's nearly the end of summer, which means it's a perfect time for Jamiroquai to release their song about June, right? Wrong, as we find out in the latest episode of the podcast where every week we relive the 40 biggest selling songs from this week 20 years ago.

While Jay Kay is seemingly busy having constant fights outside nightclubs, we also explore some other bad decisions the pop star of the 2000s are making. Like McFly nearly deciding they wanted to be taken seriously, Snoop Dogg deciding to break up with his wife only to get back with her almost instantly, and Iron Maiden deciding to bad mouth Ozzy Osbourne at his own festival.
