The NEW HOME of the podcast where every week we’re reliving the best and worst of 2000s pop music one UK top 40 at a time
This week on the podcast where we discuss the 40 biggest selling singles from this week in 2005…After 12 years away, the enigma that is Kate Bush took this week in 2005 to return to music with her song about what would have happened had Elvis never died, King of the Mountain.Also singing about mountains are Westlife, who become the 100th band to cover the definitive granny-bothering track You Raise Me Up. Never say Shane, Kian et al aren’t original…
Elsewhere in the top 40 from this week 20 years ago:
* Will Smith tries to clap back at the haters and prove he’s a hard man, with unsurprisingly disasterous results

* 16-year-old Hilary Duff dates a 25-year-old pop punker
