Episode 49 - Grassy Buttocks
Monday Oct 16, 2023
Monday Oct 16, 2023
The penultimate episode before our Gold anniversary. Will it be fraternal harmony or trouble and strife? Hopefully the first song of the episode gives you some idea of the direction of travel. Cryptic? You bet your arse but you're dying to know now aren't you?

A bumper long episode for this episode! Why? Because it is front loaded with stats! Yes STATS! It's a joyous stats attack for you to kick off this episode. But after that we give popular music a good old shake and see what 9 songs fall out. Join us won't you?

Monday Nov 06, 2023
We have completed a FULL year of this nonsense and we're still cracking on. Just like a runaway train, or the government facilitated decline of the NHS, or Suella Braverman's cruelty to anyone from outside of Kent, we're showing no sign of stopping! 9 more of the best (and additional gristle) for our reviewing pleasure.

Episode 53 - Alright Bernard

Monday Nov 13, 2023
Some episodes will fly by in a haze of vague agreement or approval. Sometimes one will feel entirely vindicated that justice has been served. Others we will look back at the end of this pod and question what on earth the prevailing logic was. The other thing it will do is provide reasonable grounds for when we get the lawyers involved.

Episode 54 - Urine Gagarin
Monday Nov 20, 2023
Monday Nov 20, 2023
The second appearance of a big hitter, some random 'also ran' singles from bigger bands, and perhaps the greatest pun I have ever come up with. And we delve into the potted and insulting history of one of the 00s pop... well not 'greats' but certainly they... existed.

Episode 55 - I Laugh When I Get Wet
Monday Nov 27, 2023
Monday Nov 27, 2023
Urinary incontinence is no laughing matter. Or perhaps it is. Depends if you ask one of the songstresses of the week that grace our show. Whilst this week isn't scraping the barrel, we're certainly uncovering some of the odder moments in pop history. Have a listen... if you dare.

Episode 56 - Malaria [citation needed]
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Of all the various rabbit holes to go down, you elected to go down this one. As did we when we learn about the health history of one of our countries most (in)famous pop stars. Plus the usual nonsense as we seel the fate of another 9 tracks.

Episode 57 - Get Your Rabbit Hat On
Monday Dec 11, 2023
Monday Dec 11, 2023
Just to make sure things are a little varied. Matt speaks reason interspersed with occasional outbursts of rage, Liam gets on his high horse, and Craig offers yet another contrary opinion... Oh that's our usual mode of operation isn't it. Ah well, here's episode 57! Enjoy.

Episode 58 - yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah YEAH NO

All bets are off this episode. We are presented with songs that should be obvious keepers and obvious binners but it appears we have entered bizarro world this week. Is there something in the air? Probably whip-its given our ridiculous behaviour (note: ENOE does not condone the use of nitrous oxide).
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.
