Do you remember when you were 15? We certainly do, so in this episode of Can't Stop The Pop, Matty and Craig discuss Delta Goodrem's 2003 hit, 'Lost Without You'.
As ever, there's so much to talk about, including Jaci Velasquez's version of the track, released the same year; the US mix, which was a minor Adult Contemporary hit in 2005 following Delta Goodrem's guest appearance on the short-lived soap opera, 'North Shore'; and the 'Smash N Grab Remix', which belatedly finds its way onto Craig's gym playlist.
Matty explains the missed concept of the original music video, and we share thoughts on the – rather different – alternative US video. Plus, we get into a surprisingly profound discussion about Delta Goodrem's debut album, 'Innocent Eyes', and what it meant to us as teenagers growing up in the '00s.
We also run through the chart stats for 'Lost Without You' and reflect on the quite remarkable success of 'Innocent Eyes'. Also, no episode about this era of Delta Goodrem's career would be complete without a mention of 'Neighbours', so expect a Harold Bishop cameo.

Christina Milian – Dip It Low
Somebody hit the lights! In this episode of Can't Stop The Pop, Matty and Craig discuss 'Dip It Low' by Christina Milian, the lead single from her second album in 2004.
There is much to discuss, starting from the preceding events that saw Christina Milian's self-titled debut album go unreleased in America. What better way to make a comeback, then, than with a song that dialled up the sex appeal, packed in some hip-shattering choreography (someone call a chiropractor) and was accompanied by an eyebrow-raising video, of which Craig is unable to contain his revulsion.
The track was widely promoted, with three(!) different versions created featuring guest rappers Fabolous, Shawnna, and S-Word, respectively. It resulted in a huge hit, but what became of the album, 'It's About Time', and what happened next? We get into it all: the uncredited sample that resulted in a long-standing legal dispute; starring alongside John Travolta and Uma Thurman in a critically panned movie; turning down 'SOS'. Heck, we even find time to bring up Jennifer Lopez and *those* vocals on 'Play' because why not?
Also, a desperate plea as it turns out neither Matty nor Craig is hip or happening enough to know what 'spen cow' means – answers on a postcard, please.

The Saturdays – Ego
Don't tell us that you're done as far as we go because in this episode of Can't Stop The Pop, we're sitting down to have a chat about The Saturdays' 'Ego' – which snuck into the UK chart at the very end of 2009.
'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.
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!
