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.
