This week on the 2000s pop music history podcast counting down the 40 biggest selling songs from this week 20 years ago… “it’s coming home...” by which I mean Three Lions is back on the chart for the (approximately) 28 millionth time. It is just one of the football tracks trying to knock Sandi Thom off the top spot, with Crazy Frog and a nasty piece of xenophobia backed by The Sun battling Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds.

For those of you who actually prefer real 2000s pop music, we get Sugababes and The Streets both overwhelming with ballads, Morrissey going mental on his record company, and Duncan from Blue trying and failing to have a solo career.

The UK singles charts giveth and they taketh away. So this week 20 years ago, they gave us one of the best song of the 2006, from one of the biggest and best comebacks in pop music history...but they also gave us football-themed rewriting of Tony Christie’s Amarillo.

It’s another week in 2006, and Robbie Williams is casually bankrupting EMI, Pink is releasing her last good ballad and Matt from Busted is having a go at a solo track after both Charlie and James’ careers are all but over.Elsewhere in the pop charts...Brittany Murphy launches a pop career tragically cut short, Jack Johnson is calming things down a bit, and Keane are getting through a lot of rock and roll shenanigans for such a mild-mannered band, but the biggest shocker of all is how good their song is. And while one hugely successful band from 2003 continues their success three years later, another is falling apart in a spectacular style as The Darkness release their last top 40 hit.This week’s ep features the following songs:The Black Eyed Peas - Pump It
