Cool I’m watching these old TOTP episodes so it’s all clear now lol. Imagine an A-Listed Cliff Richard track - must be the last era they supported??

 

 

Wow, love that Janet went straight to A-list.

 

Also that they supported Cher when she was 43. That would never happen now :cry:

They supported her as late as 1998 as well!

nice that Janet is added straight to the A-list

most surprised at Phil Collins being only added to the B-list

Did Radio 1 not playlist 'All For You' and 'Someone to Call My Lover' in 2001? I certainly remember them being played at the time?

I haven’t got the info but they def A-Listed it as there’s was a lot of hype for her return if I remember

 

As for Phil he was around for a while before 1989 solo and with genesis so not surprised at the B-List addition. I’m sure this was Phil Collins last big era on radio 1 too!

really? cos But Seriously was his biggest era ever, was like Adele - 21 level

and he was coming after the big success of the In the air tonight Remix and the 2 Buster singles...

How very dare they demote Drama! to the B list :angry:

His next era got a top 10 and one more top 40 single in 1993, not sure if it was supported maybe to a lesser extent. I’m going by the fact “Another Day In Paradise” is his last ‘classic’ single imo.
