My Chemical Romance, David Hasselhoff and (unfortunately) P. Diddy (8 - 14 October 2006)
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....

Robbie's 'Rudebox', Nelly Furtado's 'Promiscuous' and the Return of Scissor Sisters (3 - 9 September 2006)
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...

Nelly Furtado's Maneater and the Worst World Cup Songs You've Ever Heard 4 - 10 June 2006)
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. I’d say it’s a game of two...

Rihanna's SOS and 39 other less good songs from 2006 (16-22 April 2006)
“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.…

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...
