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.This week’s episode features the following songs:The Automatic - MonsterBaddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - 3 LionsBeatfreakz - Somebody’s Watching MeBusta Rhymes - Touch ItChristina Milian feat.

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. I’d say it’s a game of two halves, but there’s quote enough football talk in this episode already.It’s another ep of The 2000s Chart Show, the pop music history podcast where every episode we count down the 40 biggest selling songs of this week 20 years ago.Featuring the following songs:The Automatic - MonsterBeatfreakz - Somebody’s Watching MeBusta Rhymes - Touch ItChicane feat.

| 6/3/26 |  Pink, a Robbie Williams Flop and Keane Getting Emo (28 May - 3 June 2006) | 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 ItBeatfreakz - Somebody’s Watching MeBusta Rhymes - Touch ItChicane feat.

| 4/22/26 |  Rihanna's SOS and 39 other less good songs from 2006 (16-22 April 2006) | “SOS please someone help me. It’s not healthy for me to feel this way” about a pop song. But that’s just how I feel about Rihanna’s SOS, one of the true starmaking tracks of the decade. Which of course means it’s probably going to be beat by a drippy ballad from Shayne Ward off of that X Factor. So the 2000s charts go.Do Rihanna and Shayne Ward have what it takes to knock Gnarls Barkley off the top, or will it be the job of Gorillaz, Infernal, Fall Out Boy, Hard-Fi or Jamie Foxx. Find out as we deep dive into another week on the 2006 charts.Which pop stars has MULTIPLE family members in prison for murder? Which Danish band is basically forced into doing an England World Cup song? And which singer had to present a TV show with Holly Willoughby where every presenter had to be barefoot. Find out as we tell another set of tales from 2000s music, in the only music history podcast that every episode counts down the top 40 singles chart from this week 20 years ago.

| 4/15/26 |  U2, Mary J Blige and some candy-based sexual innuendo (9 - 15 April 2006) | This week on our look at the music that came out this week in 2006, we’re going literally from the sublime to ridiculous, in a chart that takes us from one of the most emotional songs ever written in U2’s One’s to one of the stupidest tracks ever, D4L’s Laffy Taffy.In between, we get Franz Ferdinand singing about Jesus, Morrissey discussing losing his virginity, Michael Jackson terrified by the idea of a woman’s sexuality and The Zutons’ ode to keeping women locked in your basement (do not try this at home, kids).In short, another typically weird look into the pop music of the 2000s.This week’s episode features the following tracks:Belle & Sebastian - The Blues Are Still BlueBeverley Knight - Piece of My HeartThe Black Eyed Peas - Pump ItThe Charlatans - Blackened Blue EyesChico - It’s Chico TimeCorinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records OnDepeche Mode - Suffer WellD4L - Laffy TaffyEditors - All SparksEmbrace - Nature’s LawFall Out Boy - Sugar We’re Going DownThe Feeling - SewnFranz Ferdinand - The Fallen/L WellsGirls Aloud - Whole Lotta HistoryGnarls Barkley - CrazyJames Blunt - WisemenJoey Negro - Make a Move on MeKanye West feat.

| 3/25/26 |  The music industry lets Girls Aloud (and Kelly Clarkson) down again (19-25 March 2006) | This week on the podcast telling the stories of the biggest songs from this week 20 year ago…This is a baffling week on the 2000s charts for me. Why is Kelly Clarkson being beaten by a less good version of herself literally using the same songwriter? How could the pop music industry fumble the singles from Girls Aloud’s best album so badly? Why don’t the British record buying public appreciate Beverley Knight and Massive Attack more? And maybe most importantly of all...why do those three wise men get a semi by the sea?All of these questions about 2006 pop will (hopefully) be answered in our latest episode alongside the following tracks:Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes DownBattle - TendencyBeverley Knight - Piece of My HeartBe Your Own Pet - AdventureThe Black Eyed Peas - Pump ItBow Wow feat.
