Description
Welcome to Every Number One Ever! A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now.
Over the next three years, friends and DAA stalwarts Matthew Leonard, Craig Lowe, and Liam Maloney are pruning the UK pop charts from day dot to now. Randomly selected number ones will be fired at them and either banished to the bin for all eternity or raised to the hallowed pantheon of pop after discussion, argument and general nonsense.
The discarded songs will be expunged from history and in their stead shall be one randomly selected number two single. Will it be Penny Lane, God Only Knows, Jean Genie? Or the Dexys Midnight Runner’s parody ’Come On England’? Only fate and a random spreadsheet function can know for sure!
So join us on our odyssey into pop as we try to correct some historical musical maladies and revitalise the once glittering UK pop chart.

Prepare yourself (and your feeds) for Every Number One Ever! A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now launching soon.
1Frankly, this is the sort of pod we hope for. Some absolute twaddle, some super famous numbers, and some stuff that perhaps was better left forgotten... Plus the first (and maybe only) appearance of Bazz and Jeff.
The penultimate episode before our Gold anniversary. Will it be fraternal harmony or trouble and strife? Hopefully the first song of the episode gives you some idea of the direction of travel. Cryptic? You bet your arse but you're dying to know now aren't you?
As friends and podcasters we have known each other for many many moons. It is rare, although as this episode proves entirely possible, that we still surprise each other. Today is a surprise of coronary-inducing proportions. I hope you're sitting down.
Imagine if we just typed up a lorem ipsum text here. Would anyone actually notice? Does anyone actually read these? Have I turned my fingers into mere bloody stumps writing this for it to be summarily ignored by all and sundry?
In which our intrepid heroes once again open the tomb of pop's past (and passed) and dust their bones for treasure. Craig reveals himself as a hater, Liam shares a celeb story from his party days, and we find out just what Fergie (not that one) was thinking about aviation technologies.
Well without wanting to spoil the entire show, realistically we could have done this whole thing in 25 minutes. Had we been more brutal, swift and ruthless with our inevitable judgments, we could all have had time for an extra pint. Oh and Liam saw the northern lights... which was nice.
In which our heroes encounter a teeny tiny nip, bad underwear, a mouthful of marbles, someone shouting, charity and ice dancers. A lot of weirdness, maybe one day we might discuss music? You never know.
Just a quick bit of info for you. We'll be back NEXT WEEK ladles and jellyspoons!
Hark... do you hear it... on the wind... the faint chiming of bells and a whiff of trademan's tea. It also get a bit creepy, a bit stupid, and we move from one shore to another. Trust me, it'll make sense once you've listened to it.
Today is one of those episodes that might give you whiplash. I should say that this episode was recorded before the 16th of July and thus we don't make reference to certain events around our second artist. Plus we step on an aural boobie trap!
Huge apologies to all of those of Trumptonshireites who hold ol' Windy in high regard. But he is a hungry bottom and you all know it. I think this is supposed to be a music podcast but we're so far from the beaten track now that its taken on a mind of its own. Not many episodes to go!
Hello dear listener! As we embark on a deep dive into the murky world of UK pop history, its probably worth setting out some basic rules and introducing what we're trying to do.
If you're a first time listener, or just fancy a refresher, this is the episode for you!
Our inaugural episode sees the boys tackle a frankly fantastic opening tune, some less the savoury characters, and start work on the brand new pantheon of pop!
As our format starts to settle like a snow globe shook by a child, or a body on the bottom of the lake, Liam decides its time to set a precedent and we all reminisce about THAT jeans advert and what a disappointment that turned out to be. Will it be a clean sweep? Or will we get stuck in the mud? Probably.
Our third proper episode. Thats one episode for every 2.6213 billion people on the planet. Aren't we generous?! This weeks sees us dipping our hands into the fetid tide pool of pop and retrieving a pearl or two. But what other dangers lurk within the depths? Is that treasure? Or just an old bicycle wheel from the 1970s?
Another Monday means another blast from the codpast of Every Number One Ever. In this episode we'll hear Matthew come up against the physical limitations of the human voice and one of Liam's nemesises (nemeses? maybe?) sneaks into the pantheon. Podcast go!
And lo, we find ourself in week 5 (yes 5!) of our on-going project to examine and throw out popular music's less salubrious moments. Did we do well this week? Have we been too harsh to them? Or have we not punished them harshly enough? You decide.
Well yeah. It’s another episode. What do you want from us? Some detailed description of its content?! This was recorded literally days ago, we can’t be expected to remember what’s in it! If those are your expectations it’s going to be a very long three year project. Temper your demands. Oh and it’s not an Xmas episode. That’s not our format.
Merry... something. We don't do christmas episodes here at ENOE. There is a far greater task at hand. This episode a new rule is established, and Liam goes against his better principles.
