    You Get What You Give, Love Of A Lifetime, Flat Beat, Witch Doctor, No Scrubs


    There's a lot of surprises and salaciousness behind the stories of these 5 songs at the lower half of this UK Top 10. As well as reporting on all these James and Andy also discuss smashing capitalism, Sexy Elvii and the difficulties of asking to speak to the manager.

    C'mon And Get My Love, That's What I Like, Fools Gold, Pacific 808, Lambada


    If you've clicked on this to hear the Top 5 records from this week then you're an April fool. Instead James and Andy reveal all the rumours and realities behind these great records as well as ruminating on styles of rap, classic editions of "Top of the Pops" and tunes that just nick loads of other ones.

    Comment Te Dire Adieu, Room In You Heart, Ouija Board Ouija Board, Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin', Street Tuff


    In this "April Fool" edition, not only do Andy and James discuss numbers 20 to 16 of this "Next 10" from this late 80's chart, they also foolishly discuss militaristic rhythms, contacting the dead, what goes on over the Channel and for some reason compare themselves to the United Nations.

    That's What Love Will Do, The Night Has A Thousand Eyes, Please Please Me, Summer Holiday, The Wayward Wind


    It's the top half of this groovy 60's Top 10 and as Andy and James uncover plenty of pop facts and partially researched suppositions they also bring up Prime Minister's favourite platters, public travel being co-opted for rock'n'roll and the influence of inclemency.

    Walk Right In, Island Of Dreams, Loop De Loop, Diamonds, Like I've Never Been Gone


    In the bottom half of this early 60's Top 10, not only do James and Andy excavate all the stories and suppositions of these fantastic songs they also cannot help discuss learning through the medium of pop, subsequent professions after stardom and whatever happened to Wendy Hudson.

    Pass Out, Telephone, She Said, OMG, This Ain't A Love Song


    As the 'noughts' move into the 'tens', Andy and James reach the upper echelon of this Top 10, discovering the stories and speculations behind these great songs. They also debate boy crushes, bum rushes and why some songs start you off singing other ones. Let's face facts, Macca and the Muppets probably get a mention too.

    Parachute, Baby, Rude Boy, Hot, Carry Out


    It's a new decade so as the pop facts, fictions and personal conjectures behind these marvellous tracks are revealed by Andy and James, they also get drawn into discussions of what is outrageous or acceptable behaviour, pop stars endorsing radio stations and buying lollipops in a toilet.

    The Happy Wanderer, Wanted, Friends and Neighbours, Such A Night, Secret Love


    It's the pinnacle of a mid-50's UK Top 10 so, as Andy and James research, reveal and react to the facts and stories alongside the legend and mythos of these 5 great records, they cannot help but be drawn into discussing the German language, the changing nature of community and just taking the one shot at a pop slot.
