Every Number One Ever

Some weeks its mediocrity, bins and cucumber castles. Other weeks its huge stonking hits taken down by an immedabin. Some weeks... some golden halcyon weeks we get classics presented to us on a platter. Which will it be this week? All three knowing our luck.

This is what this podcast is really about. Discussing the merits and downside of the absolute ditchwater releases of popular music history and taking it seriously?! Boy bands face off against modern pop songstresses, and novelty rock songs compete with forgotten deep cuts. Enjoy!

Just when you thought Craig's opinions on popular music couldn't get weirder... welcome to episode 39. We don't understand either.

With an episode title like that you know this one got a bit silly. All we can do is apologise to Lonnie and his fans. Plus Liam is gunning for one from his hit list of most hated songs to be expunged from the pantheon.

Some weeks we wade through ranks of forgotten and uninteresting tunes from yesteryear. Will this week's episode be one of those? Or will it filled with absolute 80s classic that will inspire debate and discussion? I'll give you a clue, its not the first.

Tempers flair and other sensationalist hyperbole (hyper bowl) in this week's episode flowing straight out of the ENOE Towers like effluent along a particularly well designed sewage pipe. Can you tell I'm having issues with the plumbing in our upstairs loo? It's on the brain.

Some absolutely massive hitters that you might expect to be simple decisions turn out to be far more controversial than expected. Its just all par for the course here at ENOE Towers. Plus some horrible analogies.

Its certainly a week of contrasts. We jump from early 00s dancehall to modern day pop icons, from classic rhythm and blues to 90s dance. Its never a dull week here at Enoe Towers. Plus the usual sass and chaos from Craig.

The speed of a record, the age I wish I was, the amount of pounds in my bank account, yes it's episode 33! This week we discuss the eternal goddess of pop, crustaceans, and get a peak behind the curtain into ML's home life. What else could you ask for?!

Last week we achieved a 100% unanimous keep across the board. EVERYTHING went in. The chances of that happening this week? Highly unlikely if some of our pop picks have anything to say about it.

You can't say we're not eclectic. This time we jump from Scandi sad bangers to novelty 90s schlock to NY punk to disco fantasy. Strap in kids.

Another week, another episode. We've kissed and made up after last week's the 'Sandy Thom' incident. Its our pearl anniversary after all!

Another week, another episode. This week we discuss language, we come over all teutonic, and Liam and Craig square up in one of the most argumentative episodes ever. We still love each other though.

This week we get a whack of classic dance, a whiff of the 60s, and a modern classic. Plus, we're really sorry to Speb and all who sail on her. Is she a boat? Or a jet?

Right, before we even get into it I feel like I need to explain the episode title. The first song of the episode is something both Matt and Liam love, but half the samples in it frankly bizarre. The title refers to the sample that happens at 2:38 after the horn break. We never knew what it said properly, but it sounds like the episode title. Its ENOE. You know whats in it!

Thurston! THURSTON! Come back to us! Plus Liam and Craig argue about a film tie and Matt tries to keep the peace.

Dwell, smell and tell. All the advice you'll ever need. It's our silver anniversary (not china as Liam said). Our union has remained somewhat stable for 25 whole episodes, and long may it continue. And Liam finally gets the jingle he wanted.

According to Craig, all it takes is a 'good beat'. You heard it hear first folks! Also featuring quavers, melting 'coochies', and a whole show within a show.

Insert a series of witty yet vague observations about the episode's content here... mention cucumber castle... mention 'going on one'... and mention the kitchen of distinction. All the stuff we've come up with over the first few months of ENOE.

I may have overpromised with the rap. However, Craigs three tunes are just... well... there's no superlative that does it justice.

There are some serious big hitters in this list if you were alive and conscious during the 90s and early 00s (our prime era), and as such there is much to be argued about. For a change.

What is the plural of fizz? Fizzes? Fizé? Fie? Fi? And all the Nuremberg facts you can shake a stick at! Lets dive into another week of number ones!

I was in this recording session, and frankly even I don't know who is dead or alive after listening to this pod. God help us. Rest in Peace... maybe.

Liam's ongoing mission is thwarted by the majesty of arguably one of the greatest number one singles of all time - there's no way that wouldn't be unanimous. You know which one we're talking about. That one. No, THAT one. Still unsure? Listen and find out.

One of the giggliest corpsiest episodes ever for which we can only apologise. We'd got very worked up. But its a diverse collection this week. We've got some teenage pop rock, EDM divas, some lesser disco, awful covers, and the sound of Craig angrily scribbling his resignation note.
