    Jun 17 2026

    This week on the 2000s pop music history podcast counting down the 40 biggest selling songs from this week 20 years ago… “it’s coming home...” by which I mean Three Lions is back on the chart for the (approximately) 28 millionth time. It is just one of the football tracks trying to knock Sandi Thom off the top spot, with Crazy Frog and a nasty piece of xenophobia backed by The Sun battling Baddiel, Skinner and The Lightning Seeds.

    For those of you who actually prefer real 2000s pop music, we get Sugababes and The Streets both overwhelming with ballads, Morrissey going mental on his record company, and Duncan from Blue trying and failing to have a solo career.

    This week’s episode features the following songs:

    The Automatic - Monster

    Baddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - 3 Lions

    Beatfreakz - Somebody’s Watching Me
