Just realised that Scott Mills has done at least one chart show, and often several, every year since 1999, so either he doesn't want the job full time, or else he must feel like he is being repeatedly overlooked every time the position becomes vacant.

 

Edit: Just counted and even with all the gaps still to be filled he has done at least 55 chart shows without ever being the official host in his own right!

2008 & 2009 updated.

 

Just 2010, 2011 & 2012 to complete.

2010 Updated

Sunday 5 January 2003 - Tim Westwood

 

Wow. I wish I listened to this. :lol:

Just worked out a chart of most appearances, now updated and going up to 20/09/2009, the week Fearne left.

 

1. Mark Goodier 471 1988-2002

2. Bruno Brookes 358 1986-1990 & 1992-1995

3. Tom Browne 278 1972-1978

4. Alan Freeman 261 1967-1972

5. Simon Bates 130 1976-1977, 1982-1985, 1987 & 1992

6. Tony Blackburn 123 1979-1982

7= .JK and Joel 122 2005-2007

9. Tommy Vance 103 1982-1987 & 1991-1992

10. Wes Butters 102 2003-2005

11. Reggie Yates 95 2007-2009 (+)

12. Fearne Cotton 78 2007-2009

13. Richard Skinner 71 1984-1986

14. Scott Mills 40 1999-2009 (+)

15. Clive Warren 11 1995-1998

16. Andy Peebles 4 1979 & 1983

17=. Neale James 2 1994

17=. Dave Pearce 2 1995

17=. Jo W(h)iley 2 2002 & 2005

17=. N(e/a)mone 2 2002 & 2005

21=. (13 other DJs with one guest presenting appearance)

 

Of course Scott is now on well over 50 shows and could even have got ahead of Richard Skinner. No idea what Reggie's total will be, but it is a maximum of about 300 probably.

 

Interestingly when Scott did a show in place of Jameela a couple of weeks ago he equalled a record, he has done at least one chart show in more consecutive calender years than anyone else (15 calendar years from 1999-2013), bar one, the original record holder being Mark Goodier (15 calendar years from 1988-2002). So if Scott does at least one show in 2014 he will break the record. The non-consecutive record remains to be seen, since Mark Goodier may possible have covered since 2007.

And I meant to ask if anyone knows... the two weeks when Dave Pearce did the Chart Show, did he also do his Dance Anthems immediately after like he usually did? If so 6 or 7 continuous hours on the air is pretty impressive

Looks like the updated information has now completed the 'Fearne and Reggie as a duo' era, and by my reckoning Fearne did 78 editions putting her 12th ahead of Richard Skinner but behind her co-host Reggie who is at 11th, and still got a fair climb to make when the rest of the data is completed.

A few errors here.

 

Pete Murray presented Pick Of The Pops for the last 2 weeks of September 1968 & Ed Stewart did it for a week in March 1972. Although Alan Freeman did it from October 1964 to September 1968, without missing a week (though some shows were recorded on a Friday). Tony Blackburn also took that approach (1st Sept 1979 to 3rd Jan 1982). He never missed a week, either (with some shows recorded in the week). Simon Bates missed 7th January 1979, due to snow in London, where Andy Peebles stepped in at short notice. With Andy also doing at least one Tommy Vance show (while Tommy was drunk) & another 2, whilst Vance was on holiday. Simon Bates hosted the show, as a stand-in quite frequently from 1976 to 1992. I believe there's only 1980, 1981, 1988, 1989, 1990 & 1991, where Simon did not host at least one show & easily wins the title of best host in my book, after Tom Browne (of course).

 

The Tuesday 12.30pm rundowns, were originally by Alan Freeman. Tony Blackburn did this from 26th Sept 1972, followed by DLT in 73, Johnnie Walker, Paul Burnett, DLT, Mike Smith & finally Gary Davies. All of those presented the chart on a Sunday (at some point) except DLT & Mike Smith. Though Mike did it at Capital, around 1978/79.

Did not have any definate info for the 1967-1972 era Do you know specifically when in March 1972 Ed Stewart did the show.

Tim Westwood was due to present that first show of 2003 but backed out in the end - Scott did all 5 shows before Wes took over. I believe John Peel was also lined up originally as well - they would have been classics!

2011 Updated, but have not confirmed with the Haven or Buzzjack Chart Threads.

12th March, I think...Though I've long since heard that recording. Ed was not the best choice, for it & probably hss forgotten, he ever did it! Alan had flu, that week. Possibly made worse for the amount of cigarettes, he smoked.

The Pete Murray weeks in 1968, were a cover as Alan was in the States. In the first week, Pete spoke to him on the phone (during the show) about the U.S. Pop scene. From the 6th Oct 1968, the "Bottom Ten" feature was dropped i.e. the 30 to 21 new entry bit & the first hour, became new releases, bubblers & album tracks, with the Top 20 being played in full from 5.55pm. The Bottom Ten, reappeared from 16th Feb 1969 (the first BMRB chart).

 

Of course, Tom Browne's Oct 1972 - March 1974 shows, were the Radio One Airplay hits in the 60 to 21 positions & the sales top 20. With 60 records played in 3 hours, every week. This ceased on 25th March & then Paul Burnett did the Radio One Airplay Chart, in "All There Is Too Hear" on Sundays between 10am & 1pm. He was replaced by Simon Bates in 1976 & Peter Powell in 1978. Hence, why Tom Browne was only doing the top 20, between 6 & 7 during March 1974 & March 1978 (& Bates, there after). Simon was never given a permanent position on the show, he was only hired as a stand in, on it. Though he did clock up, 18 months in 78/79 & 9 months in Jan to Sept 1984. Vance was finally fired in December 1983, after many complaints & a story in a Sunday newspaper.

Thanks Dave Updated info.

Updated to 2012 Now complete for the weeklies, yet to complete year end, decade end etc.

Great post.

 

I Can Add that Mark Goodier did the chart of 94. Clive Warren also did the show the weekend that Oasis Do You know what i mean was nr 1 in the summer of 97, Where You Stated Mark Goodier.....

Dave Pearce Dance Anthems din't start before late 97 ;) But As I remember he did a morning show Thoose sundays in 95 before the chart... I listened to almost every top 40 from late 94 to 2000 ca on satelitte in Denmark...

Anybody here on the board WHO has a copy of The chart of 94 and 96? I'm missing Thoose two shows....

I can still remember the Top 40 that Mark Goodier presented on Sunday 27 August 1989. He got his timings for the records so wrong that he had to omit playing the number 2, 'Ride On Time' by Black Box as it was 6.55pm by the time the number 3 single had finished playing. It was a rather unfortunate but gigantic error by him!

I got part of the xmas 1972 rundown on tape where Tom had been imbibing a tad and ended up going "whoahhh I nearly had a seizure" fondly reminiscing Pans People Jean Genie routine on TOTP the day or two before. The whole show was hilarious.

Really interesting thread, though I have to admit since Mark Goodier left and unless Scott Mills is hosting, the quality of the presenter and the quality of the show itself has just got worse!

 

I used to find that every week at 4pm everything would stop on a Sunday, radio 1 would be on and I would be hooked for 3 hours waiting to find out who's number one...now I only listen if I'm not working or if there's a big battle for number one

 

The last chart I listened to for the full 3 hours was the week Lana Del Rey entered at 32 with Summertime Sadness. Now I just find an effort to sit through the chart show...thank god for Buzzjack!!!!
