  • BoA - The "Britney of K-pop"'s debut English album
    2025/08/25

    Before "K-pop Demon Hunters" topped the charts and BLACKPINK sold out stadiums; "Queen of K-pop" BoA was making moves you can't ignore. This episode, we're diving into the multi-talented Korean singer, dancer and producer's US debut English album - the self-titled "BoA" - released in 2009. If you loved Britney's "Blackout" and Janet Jackson's "Feedback" vibes, then this is the lost gem of an album you're going to stan.

    After selling millions of records as the No.1 teen-pop sensation in Korea and Japan for close to a decade; SM Entertainment's shining starlet BoA has her sights set on America. For her debut English album; they roped in some of the hottest electro-pop and R&B hitmakers including Bloodshy & Avant (Britney, Kylie), Sean Garrett (Usher, Destiny's Child), Brian Kennedy (Rihanna's 'Disturbia'). There's a Britney co-write, a Monrose cover, killer choreography and flashy music videos to unpack... what's not to love? The "BoA" album made history as the first album by a South Korean artist to ever chart on the Billboard 200. Literally, not everybody has that.

    Join Joel and David as they go back in time to revisit one of K-pop's most significant breakthrough stories in America; and share their personal loves for the genre on the podcast for the very first time!

  • Destiny's Child - "The Writing's On The Wall"
    2025/08/08

    Thou shall get in the time machine! Ladies, fellas and non-binary friends leave your cares at home 'cause your favourite 2000s pop explorers Joel and David have arranged a date with Destiny. Somewhat coinciding with DC3's recent reunion at the Cowboy Carter Tour finale; we are back celebrating one of the most successful girl groups of our generation. Let's go back to 1999 - a time of cowboy hats, bandana tops and diamond belly rings - to revisit one of the best-selling R&B albums of our time, "The Writing's On The Wall". Not only was this a pivotal coming-of-age album and turning point for Beyoncé, Kelly, Letoya and Latavia's careers; it spawned a string of beloved hits that soundtracked the turn of the millennium like the GRAMMY-winning smash 'Say My Name', the chart-topper 'Bills, Bills, Bills' and bangers 'Bug A Boo' and 'Jumpin Jumpin'. We get into all the singles, music videos, photo shoots, Tina Knowles designs, fave album tracks and fun deep cuts (hello, Solange remix!). And chronicle what a whirlwind time of breakthrough success, dramatique line-up changes, and global presence it was for Destiny's Child! As always, much respect to ALL the ladies: Beyoncé, Kelly, Michelle, Letoya, Latavia, Farrah and obviously... The Matriarch, Ms Tina!

  • Geri Halliwell - "Schizophonic" Part 2: 'Mi Chico Latino', 'Lift Me Up' and 'Bag It Up' [Solo Spice Girls: Revisited]
    2025/07/15

    "Donde esta el hombre?" We are continuing our spicy "Schizophonic Summer" journey with Part Two of Geri Halliwell's iconic debut album era!

    After reintroducing herself as a solo artiste in May 1999 with 'Look At Me''s flamboyant multi-character narrative (hello 'Bitch', 'Vamp', 'Virgin' and 'Sister'), Geri's now giving us three more distinct campaigns with the following chart-topping singles: 'Mi Chico Latino', 'Lift Me Up' and 'Bag It Up'.

    Joel and David revisit the lavish music videos, promo campaign, live performances, and b-sides. From the camp-as-tits 2000 BRIT Awards performance to serving Bond Girl realness sailing in Sardinia, frolicking with aliens in Malaga to manufacturing Girl Powder with sexy male dancers... each single had its own zest. There is truly so much to unpack!

    And if you haven't listened to Part One where we dived into Geri's solo debut with the bombastic 'Look At Me' and our "Schizophonic" album track highlights... you know what to do now!

  • Geri Halliwell - "Schizophonic" Part 1: 'Look At Me' and Album Highlights [Solo Spice Girls: Revisited]
    2025/07/11

    Welcome to our Summer of "Schizophonic", pop fans, where what you see IS what you are getting! We are heading back to our school days of 1998 and 1999 to revisit the iconique debut solo album by Geri Halliwell.

    Arriving literally just one year after Geri dropped the bombshell of the century that she was leaving the Spice Girls - one of the planet's biggest pop girl groups ever - our Gezza went on to execute the greatest comeback and solo career debut there ever was. With pure bombast, confidence and sense of drama, this episode looks into one of the most exciting PR masterclasses known to our generation of music fans with Geri's transition from Ginger Spice to solo superstar.

    Joel and David kick things off with a deep dive into the debut single 'Look At Me' - an unapologetically camp statement of intent - and Geri's accompanying global press tour, before going into personal album highlights from "Schizophonic".

    Stay tuned for Part Two where we get into the chart-topping singles 'Mi Chico Latino', 'Lift Me Up' and 'Bag It Up'!

  • 121: Hilary Duff - 10 Years of "Breathe In. Breathe Out"
    2025/06/19
    Pop fans, we totally feel your heart go (*whistle melody*) as soon as you saw this episode's title! It is a big swipe right from us as we break tradition to venture into the 2010s for this super special 10 year anniversary of Hilary Duff's last album, "Breathe In. Breathe Out.".

    This album has been on a colourful journey from 2012 through to 2015, resulting in a vibrant melting pot of mainstream Top 40 EDM-pop and country-pop. For Hilary Duff's first album in eight years, she tapped some of pop's best hitmakers from Tove Lo to Ed Sheeran and Toby Gad, ILYA and Savan Kotecha (who have worked with Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Britney). We revisit all the highlights from 'Chasing The Sun' and 'All About You' to 'Sparks', 'One In A Million', 'Tattoo', 'Confetti' and more!

    Join the JB - our resident platinum card-holding Hilary Duff stan - and David as we get out the choppy bob and pastel hair chalk to reminisce on this time in pop culture where we've swapped CD:UK for Shazam.

  • 120: Mighty Hoopla 2025 Highlights with Dannii Minogue, Tom Aspaul, Pixie Lott, Amy Studt and London Gay Men's Chorus
    2025/06/07
    Happy Pride, everyone! After last weekend's joyous Mighty Hoopla festival, we simply had to jump on - with utterly fried vocal chords - to debrief and unpack our highlights with you! We're so excited to have the reactions and reflections from Dannii Minogue and incredible performers (and friends of the pod) Tom Aspaul, Pixie Lott, Amy Studt and Craig from the London Gay Men's Chorus who sang on the main stage with Samantha Mumba.

    This is the first time in our seven-year history where your RBAY boys have done a post-festival highlights episode but since there were so many moments that were euphoric and specific to us 2000s pop fans - it called for a special. From A*Teens to Heidi Montag, Ciara to Supersister and many more meauxments... we hope this recap transports you to the glitter and disco-filled ambience of Brockwell Park!

  • 119: A*Teens - Mighty Hoopla Reissue
    2025/05/14
    Ahead of A*Teens' eagerly-anticipated performance at Mighty Hoopla festival, your 2000s pop explorers Joel and David have gone back in the vaults to unearth one of our favourite episodes, celebrating the discography of this incredible Swedish pop group! After starting life as a teenage ABBA tribute pop group, this fab foursome quickly became a fully fledged pop act in their own right with massive bangers like 'Upside Down', 'Halfway Round The World' and 'Floorfiller'. Even opening for Britney on tour and securing appearances on Disney and Nickelodeon, growing a loyal global fanbase along the way.

    Back in 2021, we were so much more ambitious by covering three albums and a Greatest Hits release in one episode! So if you're unfamiliar with the work of Dhani, Sara, Amit and Marie - here's everything you need to know and more. We're sure you'd be bouncing off the ceilings by the end of the listen.

  • 118: Amy Studt on 'Misfit', life as a 2000s British teen pop-rock star, and Mighty Hoopla debut
    2025/04/30
    Before she rocks out on stage next month at Mighty Hoopla festival, British singer-songwriter Amy Studt takes a special trip down memory lane with Joel and David, reminiscing on her anthemic 2000s smash 'Misfit' and every aspect of her landmark debut album "False Smiles", the Gold-certified album which spawned four singles - including two UK Top 10 hits. Where the US market had Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff, we were channelling all our teenage angst with Amy!

    Amy's rise to pop stardom sounds like something straight out of a movie. Enter a "grungy teen" from a seaside English town who loved to write songs, plucked from obscurity by music svengali Simon Fuller (the man behind Spice Girls and S Club 7) and placed in the studio with some of the industry's best pop songwriters and producers. Cue Karen Poole, Yak Bondy, David Eriksen, Cathy Dennis, Gary Barlow, Eliot Kennedy, and Rob Davis.

    This conversation is a real nostalgic snapshot of a teen pop star's life in the early 2000s. From legendary 19 Management Christmas parties with Amy Winehouse, Pop Idol stars and S Club 7, through to "CD:UK" and extravagant overseas music video shoots... and even the curious case of a Sheryl Crow cover.

    Proving she's so much more than 'Just A Little Girl', Amy also talks about how her artistry has evolved over the years with the 2008 alt-pop gem "My Paper Made Men" and avant-garde 2019 "Happiest Girl In The Universe" - and what's next for her.
