## Resource

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 Down Battle - Tendency Beverley Knight - Piece of My Heart Be Your Own Pet - Adventure The Black Eyed Peas - Pump It Bow Wow feat. Ciara - Like You Charlotte Church - Moodswings (To Come at Me Like That) Chico - It’s Chico Time Chris Brown feat.
