<p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Don't tell us that you're done as far as we go because in this episode of <strong>Can't Stop The Pop</strong>, we're sitting down to have a chat about The Saturdays' 'Ego' – which snuck into the UK chart at the very end of 2009.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> 'Ego' was a pivotal moment in The Saturdays' career. The second single from the group's second album, 'Wordshaker' – and later included on the 'Headlines!' EP – marked a point where commercial success wasn't solely defined by peak chart position and album campaigns shifted from traditional models.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Matty and Craig reflect on what it is about 'Ego' that connected so well after 'Forever Is Over', break down the superhero-themed music video and examine the chart stats. We also discuss the B-side 'Flashback' and look at where this single fits into The Saturdays' career overall, which features a wide-ranging and occasionally divisive discussion that includes 'Notorious', 'Gentleman', and even 'What Are You Waiting For?'. Buckle up – it's quite the journey!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> If you like what we do, please leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

<p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> In this episode of <strong>Can't Stop The</strong> Pop, we commemorate (or should that be commiserate) 30 years since the UK entered 'Ooh Aah…Just A Little Bit' into the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 and finished in…eighth place!?</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Matty and Craig discuss how Gina G's debut single tore through the UK chart for months prior to Eurovision, then became an international hit and even reached the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100, earning a Grammy nomination in the process. Yes, you read that correctly.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> But what happened at Eurovision? We speculate on possible reasons why the track didn't sweep to victory – or indeed even come close – but how impactful it was on the contest in the following years, nonetheless.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> As well as talking about the rather basic music video and those all-important chart stats, Matty shares a surprising fact about 'Ooh Aah…Just A Little Bit' and Top Of The Pops, while Craig explains the legal drama that stemmed from the song and left Gina G stuck in a bad record deal. <span style= "mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> To read about 'Ooh Aah…Just A Little Bit' on <strong>Can't Stop The Pop</strong>: </span><span style= "color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><a href= "https://www.cantstopthepop.com/2020/03/23/gina-g-ooh-aah-just-a-little-bit/">https://www.cantstopthepop.com/2020/03/23/gina-g-ooh-aah-just-a-little-bit/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> If you like what we do, please leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts.

<p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Get your vibe on because <strong>Can't Stop The Pop</strong> is back for a new year-long series of monthly episodes, and where better place to start than with Dannii Minogue vs. Flower Power's mid-'00s anthem, 'You Won't Forget About Me'.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> Matty and Craig explore how the track represented a timely evolution of the 'Neon Nights' formula and marked a new era for Dannii Minogue's career as she signed with All Around The World (AATW). Yet, despite high expectations commercially, the fallout of what actually happened when the single was released, and the subsequent stop-start album(s) campaign leaves much to discuss – including an impassioned rant from Craig about the ineptitude of AATW and a wild comparison by Matty. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> As ever, we cover the song, its unflattering video (Dannii Minogue should *not* be cleaning up drink spillages), the chart stats and a notable remix that reimagines 'You Won't Forget About Me' as elevator music. No, really.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> To read about 'You Won't Forget About Me' on <strong>Can't Stop The Pop</strong>: </span><span style= "color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;"><a href= "https://www.cantstopthepop.com/2022/10/24/dannii-minogue-you-wont-forget-about-me/">https://www.cantstopthepop.com/2022/10/24/dannii-minogue-you-wont-forget-about-me/</a></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; background: white;"><span style= "mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: black; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"> If you like what we do, please leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts.
