Twenty years to the week that she was preparing to bounce back to Number One with Hips Don't Lie - the very last number one on weekly Top of the Pops.

I'm close to seeing a historic Top 3...

Normally "hanging out", but it's muted to match what "smoking blunts" on the album.

Here comes that Top 5... and... 🤞🤞

I'm close to seeing the Frankie Laine total number one record equalled overall, in my lifetime at least!

At this point in the show Jack Saunders would prepare the random wheel

BTW I gotta figure out which jingle company did the 1tros and subsequent Radio 1 jingles currently?

In comes the Top 10 with potentially a historic record breaker at the top

Course I meant Stella Lefty's single got an official video.

And at least Boston's got a proper video.

Thank goodness Ordinary was skipped. But those consuming chart music in 2000 will be furious at Silva Bumpa..

In comes Great Expectation as the next single to play.

Ordinary very likely going back to the Top 20? 😵😵 What. The. Actual. Hell is up with you all?

Yet also gotten reminders of Project Hail Mary here

Alyssa Rose? James, know the surname!

And speaking of tunes that were huge in the Glee era...

God, I'm getting flashbacks to Pilot.

We pause the chart now to get some news at half four.

Absolute MOR dread occuring - it's turning to Magic or more accurately Heart (Shart FM more like).

Still hanging around far too long, I see...

And here goes the most notorious example of the charts not being able to adapt to streaming methods - as in this song at least!

James Cusack's in for Jack again

History is on the cards...

The way the very top of the chart this year has been feels like we're ultimately reliving the worst of 2016 to name but a few...

This however is if you DON'T count Xmas songs.
