This story from the UK top 40 singles chart we’re looking at this week all seem united by one thing...how it sucks to be a famous pop star.

It’s always fun when the British record buying public get behind a totally rubbish song, and 2006 gave us a classic example as the UK tried to get David Hasselhoff’s ‘Jump in My Car’ to the top spot.

It has some fierce competition from some actual pop songs, legendary emo tracks and whatever P. Diddy’s ‘Come to Me’ is supposed to be.

Will ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’ be parading its way to the top of the charts, or will Razorlight finally get the chart-topper landfill indie lover were hoping for? Let’s find out as we dive into another classic week of 2000s pop music history from the UK top 40 singles chart.

“Yeah, but she really is a slag though.” With those immortal words, Jamelia bodied Javine...but while that line is still rightly celebrated, we have forgotten how great Jamelia’s music was in 2006.

Luckily, your favourite 2000s pop music history where every episode we’re revisiting the UK top 40 singles chart from this week 20 years ago is here to change that. This week, we’re also talking about Fergie’s ridiculous solo debut (and inability to tell London’s bridges apart), Kelis starting a feud with 50 Cent and the weirdest piece of promo I’ve ever seen a flop pop star do in all my time researching the 00s.

Few pieces of pop music have dented a career quite like Robbie Williams’ Rudebox, so I’m so glad to finally be able to talk about this weird electro-rap song about how TK Maxx costs less and how you don’t sweat much for a fat lass. Once called the worst song ever, is it (whisper it) actually a brilliant piece of 2000s pop? We find out on the latest episode of the music history podcast where every week we relive the singles chart from this week 20 years ago.

Elsewhere on the pop music charts this week in 2006: Nelly Furtado’s US number one finally gets its UK release - which Nelly seems intent to destroy the memory of with her weird new version.

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.

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.

“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.

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 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:

In this episode of The 2000s Chart Show, we dive into the weeks that are always crucial in UK pop history: the race for the 2005 Christmas Number One. It’s a year that has it all: Novelty hits, emotional ballads and even alternative rock, and in this episode we revisit a uniquely chaotic moment in 2000s chart culture and music history.

We break down the key releases competing for the top spot: Crazy Frog’s festive chart assault (and assault on our ears), Nizlopi’s breakout viral hit JCB Song, and major pop entries from Mariah Carey, Robbie Williams, McFly, and the unholy team-up of Westlife and Diana Ross.

Less likely contenders include bands like The Subways and Depeche Mode alongside truly left-field contenders such as The Water Babies from a Vodafone ad and the entire England Cricket Team’s singing Jerusalem.

Packed with nostalgia, chart trivia, and cultural context, this episode is essential listening for fans of 2000s pop, UK chart music, Christmas Number One history, and the golden era of CD singles, Top of the Pops, and mid-2000s British music.

Perfect for listeners who love revisiting the songs, artists, and moments that defined the UK music charts in the 2000s.

We must have all been on the naughty list in Christmas 2005, because Santa gave us the horrible gift of the best singer ever to be in a girlband exiting the group.

This huge news eclipsed everything in the chart this week, which is very much a dumping ground before the big race for the Christmas number 1 begins. But we are getting new stuff like an incredibly ill-advised single from Charlotte Church, one of Franz Ferdinand’s best-ever songs and a dance cover of an 80s ballad classic.This week’s The 2000s Chart Show features the following tracks

Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor

On the 2000s charts this week, Christmas is coming, and the charts are getting in the mood with such festive topics as... America’s obsession with guns! Being in love with a straight man (relatable TBH)! Doing things with a radio that would get my episode shadowbanned if I put it in this description!

Winter for many represents the end of things, and so it’s fitting that we also have the end of another attempted boyband, with Freefaller going out with one of the most abysmal covers of the entire 2000s. And no one told 50 Cent that Christmas was a time for goodwill towards all men, as he dedicates his latest single Window Shopper to keeping four different feuds going.In our latest episode, we’re talking all this plus the following 2005 tracks:Alkaline Trio - Mercy Me

It is a truth of 2000s pop universally acknowledged that you can’t mistake my biology...but did the British public in the 00s have enough musical taste to put the best Girls Aloud song (and maybe best song of all time?) to number one?Or did they prefer Fergie and her humps, bumps and lovely lady lumps?
