August 22, 20222 yr Who’s Yasser? 🤣 Scott should do 7 more to be third in the all time listings! Think Yasser was on 1xtra.

March 6, 20241 yr So assuming the weeks to the end of March are as planned, and not including any credits for any of the unnamed (at least on the BBC programmes database) 'legendary past presenters' on that November 2022 edition, the chart of chart show hosts now looks like this: 1.

(22 other DJs with one guest presenting appearance) Edited March 6, 20241 yr by DanChartFan
March 11, 20241 yr There was no chart show due to Queen Elizabeth passing away. I knew it was the immediate aftermath of Her Majesty's passing, but I couldn't work out whether to count what was broadcast in the timeslot as a chart show, since (according to what is on the BBC guide) it was the same length timeslot, hosted by the same person, and playing basically the same tracks, so I did wonder if it essentially was a chart show but without that explicit title on the guide.

They at least played the #1 in full and maybe a quick rundown/recap of the top 10 or top 40, but otherwise they played other songs. Thanks for updating this, by the way! It's great to look back at past years.
March 12, 20241 yr Feck me, that couple of weeks after the Queen died when nothing even vaguely upbeat was played was a rough time to be working with retail radio.
December 20, 2024Dec 20 Let's bring this up to date to the end of this year, and beyond into January 2025, starting with the final week of the last update, which wasn't actually Jack as originally advertised. 29th March 2024 James Cusack 5th April 2024 James Cusack 12th April 2024 Jack Saunders 19th April 2024 Jack Saunders 26th April 2024 Jack Saunders 3rd May 2024 Jack Saunders 10th May 2024 Jack Saunders 17th May 2024 Jack Saunders 24th May 2024 ? 31st May 2024 Jack Saunders 7th June 2024 Jack Saunders 14th June 2024 James Cusack 21st June 2024 Jack Saunders 28th June 2024 Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston 5th July 2024 Jack Saunders 12th July 2024 Jack Saunders 19th July 2024 Jack Saunders 26th July 2024 Jack Saunders 2nd August 2024 Jack Saunders 9th August 2024 Jack Saunders 16th August 2024 Jack Saunders 23rd August 2024 Jack Saunders 30th August 2024 Jack Saunders 6th September 2024 Jack Saunders 13th September 2024 Jack Saunders 20th September 2024 Jack Saunders 27th September 2024 Jack Saunders 4th October 2024 James Cusack 11th October 2024 Jack Saunders 18th October 2024 Jack Saunders 25th October 2024 Jack Saunders 1st November 2024 Jack Saunders 8th November 2024 Jack Saunders 15th November 2024 Jack Saunders 22nd November 2024 Jack Saunders 29th November 2024 Jack Saunders 6th December 2024 Jack Saunders 13th December 2024 Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston 20th December 2024 Jack Saunders 27th December 2024 Gregor Davidson 3rd January 2025 James Cusack 10th January 2025 Jack Saunders 17th January 2025 James Cusack 24th January 2025 Jack Saunders
December 20, 2024Dec 20 No chart show on 24th May as it clashed with Big Weekend but Jack did a top 20 rundown with Sian Eleri and Diplo
December 20, 2024Dec 20 So assuming the weeks up to 24th January are as planned the chart of chart show hosts now looks like this: 1. Mark Goodier 470 1988-2002 2. Bruno Brookes 358 1986-1990 & 1992-1995 3. Tom Browne 278 1972-1978 4. Scott Mills 272 1999-2022 5. Alan Freeman 258 1967-1972 6. Reggie Yates 237 2007-2012 7.

Greg James 114 2010-2012, 2015-2018 12. Tommy Vance 103 1982-1987 & 1991-1992 13. Wes Butters 102 2003-2005 ^14. Jack Saunders 101 2022+ 15. Jameela Jamil (1 with Clara Amfo) 97 2013-2015 16. Fearne Cotton (75 with Reggie Yates, 3 solo) 78 2007-2009 17. Richard Skinner 71 1984-1986 18. Dev 28 2009-2010, 2015-2018 19. Clara Amfo (1 with Jameela Jamil, 17 solo) 18 2015 20.

Katie Thistleton 10 2019-2022+ (3 with Vick Hope, 2 with Cel Spellman, 5 solo) 25=. Andy Peebles 4 1979 & 1983 ^25= Sam MacGregor 4 2024 (4 with Danni Diston) ^25= Danni Diston 4 2024 (4 with Sam MacGregor) 28=. Cel Spellman 3 2019-2020 (2 with Katie Thistleton, 1 solo) 28=.

(22 other DJs with one guest presenting appearance) Of note is that Jack has the opportunity in 2025 to overtake 7 past presenters and find his way into 7th place on this chart, assuming he remains the permanent host throughout the year and doesn't need too many weeks off.
December 20, 2024Dec 20 And as a Xmas extra here's a summary of who announced each Christmas number one since the first announcement of a new chart was moved to a Sunday in 1987. 1987 – Bruno Brookes (Pet Shop Boys) 1988 – Bruno Brookes (Cliff Richard - 2) – NB: Unusually the announcement was on Boxing Day 1989 – Bruno Brookes (Band Aid II) 1990 – Mark Goodier (Cliff Richard - 3) 1991 – Mark Goodier (Queen - 2) 1992 – Bruno Brookes (Whitney Houston) 1993 – Bruno Brookes (Mr Blobby) 1994 – Bruno Brookes (East 17) – NB: First Christmas Day announcement 1995 – Mark Goodier (Michael Jackson) 1996 – Mark Goodier (The Spice Girls) 1997 – Mark Goodier (The Spice Girls - 2) 1998 – Mark Goodier (The Spice Girls - 3) 1999 – Mark Goodier (Westlife) 2000 – Mark Goodier (Bob The Builder) 2001 – Mark Goodier (Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman) 2002 – Sara Cox (Girls Aloud) 2003 – Wes Butters (Michael Andrews and Gary Jules) 2004 – Wes Butters (Band Aid 20) 2005 – JK and Joel (Shayne Ward) – NB: Christmas Day announcement 2006 – JK and Joel (Leona Lewis) 2007 – Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates (Leon Jackson) 2008 – Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates (Alexandra Burke) 2009 – Scott Mills (Rage Against The Machine) 2010 – Reggie Yates (Matt Cardle) 2011 – Reggie Yates (Military Wives with Gareth Malone) – NB: Christmas Day announcement 2012 – Reggie Yates (The Justice Collective) 2013 – Jameela Jamil and Scott Mills (Sam Bailey) 2014 – Jameela Jamil (Ben Haenow) 2015 – Greg James (Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir) – NB: Christmas Day announcement 2016 – Greg James (Clean Bandit) 2017 – Greg James (Ed Sheeran) 2018 – Scott Mills (LadBaby) 2019 – Scott Mills (LadBaby - 2) 2020 – Kate Thistleton (LadBaby - 3) – NB: Christmas Day announcement 2021 – Scott Mills (LadBaby ( - 4) ft Ed Sheeran ( - 2) and Elton John) 2022 – Jack Saunders (LadBaby - 5) 2023 – Jack Saunders (Wham!) 2024 – Jack Saunders (Wham! - 2) I've included numbering to indicate when it was an act or artists 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th Christmas number one. I haven't attempted a list of who made the first announcement of each Xmas chart on a Tuesday or Wednesday lunchtime pre-1987, but maybe that would an interesting list to try to work on.
December 20, 2024Dec 20 I'm sure I recall Nihal Arthanayake doing a show or 2 back in... I wanna say the early to mid 2010s? But it possibly could have been a chart update show.
December 20, 2024Dec 20 I'm sure I recall Nihal Arthanayake doing a show or 2 back in... I wanna say the early to mid 2010s? But it possibly could have been a chart update show. Looking at the big list on page 1 there is a chart show in May 2015 with a presenting credit of 'Scott Mills and Co at the Big Weekend', so could Nihal have been part of the 'and Co'?
December 20, 2024Dec 20 I was thinking it very well have could have been around then but according to his Wiki page he left Radio 1 in September 2014 so not possible.
December 20, 2024Dec 20 Here's who had the first announcement of the new Christmas chart, and on what date, for the period from 1973-1986, as far as I can tell from genome's listings. Radio 1's listings pre-1973 don't seem to have any kind of descriptions to ascertain what show contained the chart announcement, and of course pre-1969 there probably would have been such an announcement at all since Pick of the Pops was unveiling a BBC-compiled chart up to that point and an earlier announcement would presumably have just spoiled POTP. I haven't been able to figure out the details for first announcement of the 1984 christmas chart, since there definitely was a new chart announced for week ending 29th December 1984, and the Tuesday it ought to have been announced on was actual Christmas Day. I'm fairly sure there was a first announcement at some point in 1984 as the Blue Peter Panto in 1998 used the audio from it to illustrate to Konnie that she had travelled back in time to her teenage self's bedroom in December 1984 (unless of course Blue Peter hired one of the DJ's to fake the audio for the panto). 1973 – Tuesday 18th – Johnnie Walker (Slade) [NB: no new chart w/e 29th, so no 25th announcement] 1974 – Tuesday 24th – Johnnie Walker (Mud) 1975 – Tuesday 23rd – Johnnie Walker (Queen) 1976 – Tuesday 21st – Paul Burnett (Johnny Mathis) 1977 – Tuesday 20th – Paul Burnett (Wings) 1978 – Tuesday 19th – Paul Burnett (Boney M) 1979 – Tuesday 18th – Paul Burnett (Pink Floyd) [NB: no new chart w/e 29th, so no 25th announcement] 1980 – Tuesday 23rd – Paul Burnett (St Winifred’s School Choir) 1981 – Tuesday 22nd – Dave Lee Travis (The Human League) 1982 – Tuesday 21st – Dave Lee Travis (Rene And Renato) 1983 – Tuesday 20th – Mike Smith (Flying Pickets) 1984 – ? - ? (Band Aid) [NB: there was a new chart w/e 29th, but no sign of an announcement in listings] 1985 – Tuesday 24th – Gary Davies (Shakin’ Stevens) 1986 – Tuesday 23rd – Gary Davies (Jackie Wilson)
