Gwen Stefani, G4 and Green Day (26 March 2005)

Was Gwen Stefani always secretly lame, or did she has lameness thrust upon her? In the latest episode of the pop show reliving the 40 biggest selling songs from this time in 2005, we ask this very important question.

We're also answering these very important pop music conundrums - why did Beverley Knight try to do a Jamelia, and why did it fail? Which member of G4 is to blame for one of the most pathetic break-ups of all time? Why did Green Day do something unspeakable on a Belfast bowling green? And most importantly of all: What would it take for the British record buying public to give Jem's song They the respect it deserves?
