Well now you can. All 15,275 of them, in totally random order from 8am to 11pm 7 days a week. No presenters, no ads, no news. Just hit after hit. You never know what's coming next. No repeats in an 8 week cycle.

Nothing barred. Heard Gary Glitter and two Xmas songs yesterday.

Just put this on, St Etienne followed by Ultravox is a good start. Thanks for the heads up. :)

Useful nugget of info that there were 15,275 Too 40 hits pre 2000 - anyone have a figure up to now or a recent date?

Thanks for the heads up, putting this on as some work background music for a bit and got Haddaway - 'What Is Love?' - great start :music:

annoyingly they don't seem to have a history of what has been played recently, that would've been nice to see

 

but yay for What Is Love getting a play just then

 

haven't heard of this Canned Heat song before that's now playing but sounds rather great ('On The Road Again')

 

would be great if there was a 21st century version of this too

Interesting. "Awaits" 'Frozen' being followed by Joe Dolce or somebody lol.

 

Not heard this Tina Turner song before but sounds good.

Goodnight Saigon, I love this song.

First song up - Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel! Amazing!

hadn't heard that Billy Joel song before but that sounded rather good though unsurprising that it's not one of his 'classics'

 

phew at the original Groovy Kind of Love showing up now over the Phil Collins cover

(and now we've finally got a 50s song I think I'll drop off for now)

Yeah a good Billy Joel song there.

 

I like 'Groovy Kind of Love' in both forms but that one is better indeed.

I wonder what they’re doing for EPs lol

Santa Claus and the Christmas Trees feels like a good time to bow out for now :lol:

Hahaha Christmas song now :rofl:

Bloody hell, how long is this Mockney knees up going on for haha

It's terrible and it's not showing a sign of stopping.

 

Followed by Roy Wood :cheeseblock:

Not one of Roy's better songs, that one.

I’m quite surprised they’ve managed to get an official recording of every Top 40 hit - they must have needed to make some executive decisions there. Also wonder if Glitter etc will be included.

OP heard Gary Glitter apparently so I guess they're not blacklisting anything

Oh yes the better version of 'Tragedy', not the one in a certain Survivor right now :kink:

I was hoping this would be Stevie Wonder - I Wish instead of Will Smith
