This is what this shows about. We cover over 40 years in a single episode with some absolute monster hits, some underrated gems, and some absolutely forgotten (and perhaps with good reason) moments of yesteryear. As always... will we make the right calls? You decide.

Episode 70 and the bin is hungry for a new sacrifice. Will a 00s popstress be sacrificed to its voracious maw? Or will a host of dead rabbits save her? (this will make sense once you've heard the episode)

There are certain things in musical history that are buried, and like that dreadful long dead relative, should stay buried. Unfortunately, here at ENOE towers we are tripping over exhumed musical cadavers almost daily. This week is no exception. No one needed to hear that long sing did they?
In all honesty, I can't remember enjoying a episode as much as I enjoyed this one.

Another week, another three... Clearly I'm trying to be blasé there. This week we get a list song, complete the hat-trick and find something from that dreaded era we all think is actually good!

As friends and podcasters we have known each other for many many moons. It is rare, although as this episode proves entirely possible, that we still surprise each other. Today is a surprise of coronary-inducing proportions. I hope you're sitting down.

Nurse! He's out of bed again! Who rattled Liam's cage? He's clearly on one this episode. Pay him no heed. Although he may have a point about song 5.

Its episode 75! As we quickly approach the half way point we're figuring out who has taken the crown of 'Binmaster General' and who the most contrarian of us is (as if we have to ask). And a normal episode to boot!

Episode 76 - Double Coventry

Will we finally get one of our list songs this week? (Hint: absolutely!). We also learn some weird facts about how Fast Car was nearly a number one for someone else, and we toss around the idea of a unanimous episode!

Episode 77 - Bong Johng Long Bong

You might need to take a few minutes to collect your thoughts after this show. This one is a big one - all kinds of nonsense ensues, and we manage to rattle through it (thanks to a heavy edit) in under an hour! "Whirlwind" is an understatement.

When you're gambling, sometimes things seem like a stretch, other times like a sure thing. This week, we must be onto a sure thing. Surely...? And then Queen's guitarist gets involved in a very strange way indeed.

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.
