Description

But will the results be more Robbie Williams or Louis Tomlinson (sorry Directioners)?


Find out on the latest episode of the pop music podcast celebrating the songs that were in the UK top 40 singles chart this week 20 years ago.


Also on this week's episode:


  • A rapper gouges out his own eye in one of the most tragic tales we have ever told on the podcast;
  • Loose Women ruins the relationship of Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona;
  • Nick Cave tries to kick a journalist's head in;
  • Peter Andre starts a fight with a photographer outside of Katie Price's court case;
  • Natasha Bedingfield makes chart history;
  • McFly fans fight on the SongMeanings forums;
  • Pluss: we count down the 10 best ever novelty Europop number 1s in the latest edition of "The 2000s Chart Show Chart" and reveal that Agadoo by Black Lace is a cover
