Five years ago today

Coldplay showed what witty young things they are by covering Barbie Girl;
Pete Waterman said he'd kill himself if One True Voice didn't make number one, thereby securing Girls Aloud's chart victory;
Peter York psychoanalysed Diana Spencer through her record collection;
Myleene Klass kept going through her lean years by flogging eye surgery; and
Joan Jett threw a hissy because Rolling Stone called Pink rock.
