    Reach For The Stars, Well I Ask You, Romeo, Johnny Remember Me, You Don't Know


    It's the pinnacle of this particular week's UK Top 10, so apart from the relevancies and bit of rhetoric behind these great singles, James and Andy find themselves ruminating on the influence of Renaissance poets, the influence of the Bible on the charts and, let's face facts, the influence of the Muppets again probably.

    As they explore the stories, statistics and stupidities of the lower half of this early 60's UK Top 10, Andy and James also get drawn into the subjects of the presence of amphibians in the pop universe, the nature of temptation and where you can get hold of a copy of the great American songbook.

    Come Live With Me, Double Dutch, Who's That Girl? IOU, Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)


    It's still raining! But that won't stop us getting into the upper echelons of this 80s UK Top 10 singles chart. James and Andy uncover the actual truth and what is merely the tittle AND the tattle about these classic songs, as well as finding time to talk of acceptable age differences in relationships, the apparent importance of vowel sounds in pop and the inspiration that can come from a skipping rope. The weather might be awful but there's a kind of vibe to it yeah?

    Cruel Summer, Baby Jane, Wrapped Around Your Finger, Moonlight Shadow, The Crown


    As they delve into what is genuine and what is rumoured of the bottom half of this top ten, Andy and James cannot help but contemplate combining a day at work with your first drug experience, cultural artefacts of the 80s leading to illegal bootlegging and whether you can become a victim of song-inflicted Stockholm syndrome. Spoiler alert... they do all that in the rain!

    Angie, The Monster Mash, Rock On, Ballroom Blitz, Angel Fingers


    It's the top half of this chart from just over half a century ago, so Andy and James talk about the everlasting influence of the 50s, tales of tragedy in a televised household and footballers inventing musical instruments.
