Pop fans, we totally feel your heart go (*whistle melody*) as soon as you saw this episode's title! It is a big swipe right from us as we break tradition to venture into the 2010s for this super special 10 year anniversary of Hilary Duff's last album, "Breathe In. Breathe Out.". This album has been on a colourful journey from 2012 through to 2015, resulting in a vibrant melting pot of mainstream Top 40 EDM-pop and country-pop. For Hilary Duff's first album in eight years, she tapped some of pop's best hitmakers from Tove Lo to Ed Sheeran and Toby Gad, ILYA and Savan Kotecha (who have worked with Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Britney). We revisit all the highlights from 'Chasing The Sun' and 'All About You' to 'Sparks', 'One In A Million', 'Tattoo', 'Confetti' and more! Join the JB - our resident platinum card-holding Hilary Duff stan - and David as we get out the choppy bob and pastel hair chalk to reminisce on this time in pop culture where we've swapped CD:UK for Shazam.

Happy Pride, everyone! After last weekend's joyous Mighty Hoopla festival, we simply had to jump on - with utterly fried vocal chords - to debrief and unpack our highlights with you! We're so excited to have the reactions and reflections from Dannii Minogue and incredible performers (and friends of the pod) Tom Aspaul, Pixie Lott, Amy Studt and Craig from the London Gay Men's Chorus who sang on the main stage with Samantha Mumba. This is the first time in our seven-year history where your RBAY boys have done a post-festival highlights episode but since there were so many moments that were euphoric and specific to us 2000s pop fans - it called for a special. From A*Teens to Heidi Montag, Ciara to Supersister and many more meauxments... we hope this recap transports you to the glitter and disco-filled ambience of Brockwell Park!

Ahead of A*Teens' eagerly-anticipated performance at Mighty Hoopla festival, your 2000s pop explorers Joel and David have gone back in the vaults to unearth one of our favourite episodes, celebrating the discography of this incredible Swedish pop group! After starting life as a teenage ABBA tribute pop group, this fab foursome quickly became a fully fledged pop act in their own right with massive bangers like 'Upside Down', 'Halfway Round The World' and 'Floorfiller'. Even opening for Britney on tour and securing appearances on Disney and Nickelodeon, growing a loyal global fanbase along the way. Back in 2021, we were so much more ambitious by covering three albums and a Greatest Hits release in one episode! So if you're unfamiliar with the work of Dhani, Sara, Amit and Marie - here's everything you need to know and more. We're sure you'd be bouncing off the ceilings by the end of the listen.

Before she rocks out on stage next month at Mighty Hoopla festival, British singer-songwriter Amy Studt takes a special trip down memory lane with Joel and David, reminiscing on her anthemic 2000s smash 'Misfit' and every aspect of her landmark debut album "False Smiles", the Gold-certified album which spawned four singles - including two UK Top 10 hits. Where the US market had Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff, we were channelling all our teenage angst with Amy! Amy's rise to pop stardom sounds like something straight out of a movie. Enter a "grungy teen" from a seaside English town who loved to write songs, plucked from obscurity by music svengali Simon Fuller (the man behind Spice Girls and S Club 7) and placed in the studio with some of the industry's best pop songwriters and producers. Cue Karen Poole, Yak Bondy, David Eriksen, Cathy Dennis, Gary Barlow, Eliot Kennedy, and Rob Davis. This conversation is a real nostalgic snapshot of a teen pop star's life in the early 2000s. From legendary 19 Management Christmas parties with Amy Winehouse, Pop Idol stars and S Club 7, through to "CD:UK" and extravagant overseas music video shoots... and even the curious case of a Sheryl Crow cover. Proving she's so much more than 'Just A Little Girl', Amy also talks about how her artistry has evolved over the years with the 2008 alt-pop gem "My Paper Made Men" and avant-garde 2019 "Happiest Girl In The Universe" - and what's next for her.

Fighters, do you want to get crazy? Because this month marks 15 years of Christina Aguilera's "Bionic" era kicking off with the club banger 'Not Myself Tonight'. The Old Xtina of "Back To Basics" was gone and she's feeling brand new, embracing a futuristic and experimental electronic-pop chapter. 2010 was an epic year for our Caggie Aggie, not only was the new mum back stronger and sexier than ever with a new album but she's also making her film lead role debut with "Burlesque" (Has anybody looked up the air rights?) Joel and David pick things up in 2008 where Our Cagz was starting her new musical journey with the single for her Greatest Hits, 'Keeps Gettin Better'. From there begins the two-year voyage into "Bionic" with an eclectic, "crotch-stirringly exciting cast of collaborators" * that include Sia, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., Peaches, Le Tigre, Ladytron, Santigold, Linda Perry, Tricky Stewart (Beyoncé, Mariah), Ester Dean (Rihanna), Polow Da Don (Ciara, Fergie), Claude Kelly (Kelly Clarkson, Jessie J) and more. From sex positive bangers like 'Woohoo' to strutting anthems like 'Prima Donna', 'Glam' and 'Vanity', through to left-field electronic-pop experiments ('Elastic Love', 'My Girls') and soaring ballads ('You Lost Me', 'Lift Me Up') - this album is definitely Caggie's most ambitious body of work. So let's get glam and hop in our electronic, supersonic rocket set for the year 2010 and make it pop-pop-pop! * = paraphrased from a Digital Spy review by Nick (Live Laugh) Levine Follow Right Back At Ya! https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/ https://twitter.com/rightbackpod https://www.facebook.com/rightbackpod Follow Joel https://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/ https://twitter.com/DR_JoelB Follow David https://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/ https://twitter.com/lovelimmy Email us rightbackpod@gmail.com

We pick up our Kylie Ann journey in 2004 with her immaculately presented "Ultimate Kylie" compilation. Together we revisit the stunning Scissor Sisters co-write 'I Believe In You' and the edgy Xenomania gems 'Giving You Up' and 'Made of Glass' - plus a couple lost tracks from this era (shout out, 'Lovin You' and 'Everything I Know'). Next, we strap on the sparkly heels and take you on a glittery journey through highlights from Kylie's epic 2005 "Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour". This dazzling career-spanning concert really had it all, from the 80s crowd-pleaser hits through to the artistic 90s gems and early 2000s renaissance hits! Wall to wall classics: 'I Should Be So Lucky', 'Hand On Your Heart', 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', 'Confide In Me', 'Slow', 'Red Blooded Woman' and so much more! Pour yourself a little Kylie wine and prepare to twirl with your favourite 2000s pop explorers with this one. But... whatever you do, don't run to the bar during the encore!
