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.
