The 2000s Chart Show

This story from the UK top 40 singles chart we’re looking at this week all seem united by one thing...how it sucks to be a famous pop star.

It’s always fun when the British record buying public get behind a totally rubbish song, and 2006 gave us a classic example as the UK tried to get David Hasselhoff’s ‘Jump in My Car’ to the top spot.
It has some fierce competition from some actual pop songs, legendary emo tracks and whatever P. Diddy’s ‘Come to Me’ is supposed to be.
