This show normally deals with millennium onwards but we just have to acknowledge this old song which is THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME is 35 years old today

@joshlwilliams93 Could Billy Joel do a song as good as ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ though?

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Here’s Mr Tom from Keane. Not Tim as he is mistakenly called in the episode. Tim is the piano man

Top British musical artist Keane member Tom Chaplin poses in a studio at the recording of the 20th anniversary remake of Midge Ure and Sir Bob Geldof's 1984 charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" at Air Studios, Hampstead in London (2004)

In fact, it’s so important that earlier this year when we were asked by the lovely Matt who does the v good @pickadisc podcast to come on his show we chose Pop 2 and there’s almost 2 hrs of Charli chat and nonsense that you can listen to here https://t.co/QrOra3qW13

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Pop 2 by certified pop genius @charli_xcx came out 6 years ago today. An album of intense fundamental importance to both hosts of this podcast

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

One day we will do an episode that talks about one of the greatest pop cultural moments of all time but this article does an incredible job of recounting this brilliant madness

[British GQ @BritishGQ]

An Oral History of Celebrity Big Brother's “David's Dead” Episode

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

I (martyn) am quoted by v good writer @MichaelAHann for his piece about the history of the NOW album on its birthday. For a show like ours these compilations are essential so it was a pleasure to chat about Bob The Builder+how the series could evolve https://t.co/fLpZupT6wM

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Hello. So we are cooking up some seasonal ‘fun’ and ‘content’ for you right now and we’re also planning season 2 so is there any song you absolutely must hear us cover?

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Happy birthday to a pop legend. We can’t wait to do a Miley episode soon https://t.co/PrGyeAwJ79

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Everyone loves a good chart battle so why not enjoy a classic of the genre by listening to episode 6 of our first season. Yes, this podcast is going to punish you https://t.co/1ZFXmAZKES

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

OMG YES. Should we do a bonus episode on ‘The Promise’ to celebrate? There’s no way we’re doing I’ll Stand any You though. No chance.

[Dork @readdork]

POP EMERGENCY! @GirlsAloud are back! Back!! Back!!! There's a 2024 UK & Ireland arena tour, but no new music.
https://t.co/pK0EfvBn7A

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

@Henry92589880 Of course, we need a double a-side!

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Would anyone like to join us in forming a prayer circle for a possible new Girls Aloud song to not be a ballad? Unless it sounds like ‘Whole Lotta History’ that would be more than OK.

[Chart Attack @chartattackpod]

Looking forward to the Noah Bob The Builder collab - “Kahan We Fix It?’

[Switched on Pop @SwitchedOnPop]

.@noahkahan’s folk pop is seemingly everywhere, with Grammy noms, SNL appearances and popular collabs to boot. Charlie sat down with Noah to opine on secret magic chords, car commercial music, and, of course, his acclaimed recording Stick Season.

@joshlwilliams93 That is a top 5 aloud song
