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 will be 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.
