Rihanna, McFly and The Ultimate Flop Boyband (29 Oct - 4 Nov 2006)
McFly are cruising around Uranus, Rihanna is crashing out of the charts and the students of Britain are drinking £1 bottles of VK while listening to Bodyrox’s Yeah Yeah...it must be another week on The 2000s Chart Show!On this week’s music chart 20 years ago, a new dance genre was emerging as electro house smash Put Your Hands Up For Detroit crashed into the ear of 00s pop music fans, while boyband members of another era were desperate for another chance...so desperate, in fact, that they were willing to start a lifelong feud with Lee from Steps to get it! The Kooks were singing a song almost certainly about Katie Melua, and members of The View were casually burning their arms with lighters in the middle of interviews. Also on this week’s episode of the 2000s Chart Show, find out:- Which 00s R&B also-ran turned down SOS before it was offered to Rihanna- The 2006 song that has been most important in my own life (but only because I ignored basically all the lyrics)- All the totally unbelievable side projects Tom McFly spends his time doingFeaturing the following songs:Amy Winehouse - RehabBeatfreakz - SuperfreakBeyoncé - IrreplaceableBob Sinclar & Cutee B - Rock This Party (Everybody Dance Now)Bodyrox feat.

Fergie's 'London Bridge' and Jamelia Calling Javine a Slag (10 - 16 Sep 2006)
“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.Featuring the follow songs from September 2006:Arctic Monkeys - Leave Before the Lights Come OnBasement Jaxx - Hush BoyBeyoncé feat.
