In 1999 I got 'The Box' on cable and everything just changed for me forever, I had all the current songs in front of me for the first time and watched it religiously, ringing up and requesting all my faves. That was the very moment I first got into music.

 

I still remember the songs I taped off that channel:

 

Steps - Better Best Forgotten :blush:

Cartoons - Witch Doctor :blush: :blush:

Fatboy Slim - Right Here Right Now (actually it's still cool to like this, the video's still amazing)

Various Artists (including Steps) - Thank ABBA For The Music :blush: :blush: :blush:

 

Then in 2001 I watched a channel called 'VH1' for the first time and discovered the 1980s, but I'll never forget '99 as the year it all started for me!

I remember that channel!!, ringing up and sitting around for ages waiting for the video!.

an interesting chart....

It was so obvious that quite a few of the calls to The Box were from promo companies acting for record labels. Quite often a new and unknown song would be heavily requested out of the blue and once the song had been released and if it charted in a low position on the Sunday the song would never be requested and heard again. Obviously, if a song went in high it would still be requested, presumably then by genuine customers...
