A very sad day on The 2000s Chart Show, as we say goodbye to the pop career of Rachel Stevens, even as she releases one of her best ever singles. She’s taking on Robbie Williams with his paranoid reggae bop Tripping, as well as new (for 2005) tracks from Mariah Carey, Depeche Mode, some slutty dolls and a cartoon crocodile. A very 2005 list, in other words.Also on this podcast:* A jaw-dropping story about Ricky Martin that can’t possible be true* Starsailor escaping the clutches of their murderous producer* A member of Depeche Mode dying* James Blunt having so much sex that it became village gossip among his neighbours.All that and the following tracks:Bedouin Soundclash - When the Night Feels My SongBlack Eyed Peas - Don’t LieBloc Party - Two More YearsBratz Rock Angelz - So GoodCharlotte Church - Call My NameColdplay - Fix YouDamien ‘Jr Gong’ Marley - Welcome to JamrockDaniel Powter - Bad DayDavid Gray - The One I LoveDepeche Mode - PreciousFranz Ferdinand - Do You Want To50 Cent feat.
