Dork’s all-new podcast Chart Attack launches today (Wednesday 9th August) with its very first episode.
In season one, we jump in our big pop time machine and revisit ten iconic number ones from the turn of the millennium onwards. Exploring the highs and lows of the 21st-century UK chart, we’ll be dissecting cultural milestones, iconic pop stars, telling classic pop stories, and taking a trip down memory lane ourselves. Most importantly, we’ll be asking the crucial pop question: is this a good song?
To kick it off, we’re going all the way back to 2005, revisiting the debut single of one of the UK’s most iconic bands, Arctic Monkeys. Back when ‘the indies’ dominated the charts, Smash Hits was still in print, and chips were sold out of a hatch in the club, the mid-2000s also saw the success of four lads from Sheffield, and their chart-topping single ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’.
You’ll be able to download a new edition of season one of Chart Attack every Wednesday via all the usual podcast providers, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and more. Subscribe now to make sure you never miss an episode.
