Hello dear listener! As we embark on a deep dive into the murky world of UK pop history, its probably worth setting out some basic rules and introducing what we're trying to do.
If you're a first time listener, or just fancy a refresher, this is the episode for you!

Our inaugural episode sees the boys tackle a frankly fantastic opening tune, some less the savoury characters, and start work on the brand new pantheon of pop!

As our format starts to settle like a snow globe shook by a child, or a body on the bottom of the lake, Liam decides its time to set a precedent and we all reminisce about THAT jeans advert and what a disappointment that turned out to be. Will it be a clean sweep? Or will we get stuck in the mud? Probably.

Our third proper episode. Thats one episode for every 2.6213 billion people on the planet. Aren't we generous?! This weeks sees us dipping our hands into the fetid tide pool of pop and retrieving a pearl or two. But what other dangers lurk within the depths? Is that treasure? Or just an old bicycle wheel from the 1970s?

Another Monday means another blast from the codpast of Every Number One Ever. In this episode we'll hear Matthew come up against the physical limitations of the human voice and one of Liam's nemesises (nemeses? maybe?) sneaks into the pantheon. Podcast go!

And lo, we find ourself in week 5 (yes 5!) of our on-going project to examine and throw out popular music's less salubrious moments. Did we do well this week? Have we been too harsh to them? Or have we not punished them harshly enough? You decide.

Well yeah. It’s another episode. What do you want from us? Some detailed description of its content?! This was recorded literally days ago, we can’t be expected to remember what’s in it! If those are your expectations it’s going to be a very long three year project. Temper your demands. Oh and it’s not an Xmas episode. That’s not our format.

Merry... something. We don't do christmas episodes here at ENOE. There is a far greater task at hand. This episode a new rule is established, and Liam goes against his better principles.

Happy new year you lovely people! Hopefully this episode helps you through your 72 hour hangover. I hope that last crème de mentor was worth the ceramic massacre of the morning after. To ease yourself into the new year and promote a f*ck free 23, please enjoy this delightful ENOE.

Welcome to Every Number One Ever!
A revisionist history of pop music and culture from 1952 to now.
Over the next three years, friends and DAA stalwarts Matthew Leonard, Craig Lowe, and Liam Maloney are pruning the UK pop charts from day dot to now. Randomly selected number ones fired at them and either banished to the bin for all eternity or raised to the hallowed pantheon of pop after discussion, argument and general nonsense.
The discarded songs will be expunged from history and in their stead shall be one randomly selected number two single. Will it be Penny Lane, God Only Knows, Jean Genie? Or the Dexys Midnight Runner's parody 'Come On England'? Only fate and a random spreadsheet function can know for sure!
So join us on our odyssey into pop as we try to correct some historical musical maladies and revitalise the once glittering UK pop chart.
