Btw the new titles didn’t kick in until the first week of February - episode hosted by Kylie smile.gif


It’s a new set as well then in tandem with that?

The current titles are very much of the previous era 91-93!

Do we have any skipped episodes coming up (due to sex offenders!)?

So Gezza has agreed that I can post selected outside top 10 peaking TOTP performances from each show! Selected meaning 2 or 3 songs that I like tongue.gif I will try and post a varied few each episode. If an episode is skipped I won't be posting.


Selected tracks TOTP 14 January 1995


Portishead - Glory Box
Chart entry this week: 13
Peak: 13



Glory Box was the third single released from the sleeper hit album Dummy, the second that peaked at 13 after Sour Times (Nobody Loves Me) peaked there in 1994. Interesting video with the gender swap concept and obviously a classic Trip Hop single.



Lightning Seeds - Change
Chart entry this week: 23
Peak: 13



Change was the second single from Jollification (and actually the biggest hit). This has always been my favourite Lightning Seeds single by far and although this entered the chart at 23, it peaked at lucky 13!


Also featured peaking outside the top 10:

Almighty - Jonestown Mind
Chart entry this week: 26
Peak: 26

I love this idea too, would you be able to also post a list of the ones that performed that didn’t peak top 10?

Assuming Gezza doesn’t object, naturally.


Both of the first picks are great. I was always surprised that the singles from the Lightning Seeds didn’t peak higher as they were really radio friendly and good pop songs. Only one top 10 single aside from Three Lions.

Sure, I can post that as well, gives us a proper record of what’s on each week. Also, no exclusives either tongue.gif

think Lucky You is my #1 L Seeds tracks and a travesty it didn't chart higher, they released so many ear-worms at the time

Dummy is one of the most perfect albums ever.

Also to answer an earlier question, Dummy was released in September 1994, peaked at 3 in January 1995 on the back of Glory Box, then went higher in May 1995 finally peaking at number 2 - 25 weeks into its chart run!

I think you got it wrong x Sour Times (or maybe I misunderstood your earlier post above)
Originally only peaked at #57 in 94
then they released Glorybox and peaked at #13
then they re-released Sour Times and peaked at #13... at this point is when Dummy peaked at #2

Yes definitely Sour Times was rereleased and triggered the album to go back up. It also then won the Mercury Music Prize so went back up again.

Crazy in retrospect that they didn’t go for more singles as there were some more than could have worked.

Only ones in 1995 I can see being totally skipped are


09/02/95 (due to R Kelly soundtracking the 40-11 countdown)
07/12/95 (hosted by Gary Glitter)
14/12/95 (hosted by John Peel)

Yeah, it always puzzled me why there weren't any more singles after that point! It was like they just stopped after the album had blown up big.

What’s the issue with John Peel?

You’re right, I’m wrong! That makes more sense now.

Didn't Dummy come out in August 1994?

I looked in my OCC albums of the 90s book but it’s clearly not given the full picture!

We are both wrong - it was released in September 1994.

Examples like this always seem a quite a shame to me. Obviously if somebody inappropriate is hosting the show that's very difficult to try and work around but would it be too much effort to do a bit of sound editing on this one section of the broadcast.

I believe its chart entry was dated 3rd September as charts were dated with the date of the Saturday following the Sunday that they were announced meaning that it was released on Monday 22th August.
