My memory from the period 1981-1985 is: The new chart would be announced on Radio 1 (MW at the time before it went to FM!) at 1245 on a Tuesday. They would play No.5 - No.2 then the Top 40 countdown ending with the No.1 At 6pm Peter Powell would play the new entries and climbers for an hour. On the Thursday Top Of The Pops would reflect this new chart. And on Sunday the chart would get played in stereo from 5pm -7pm (Radio 1 using Radio 2's FM frequency). ;)

Well, A great Top 50...A few surprises good and bad!! Thrilled about "Beetlebum", "If You Tolerate This..." and of course The Verve and Oasis :D Thanks to danielGaGa for doing a great job (Oh, and also to the person who took over for a week while daniel was serving his "sentence"! :nono: I'm probably the oldest person who voted in this poll (42!). Which mean's I'd like to see 1980's no.1's next. However 90's no.2's would be fun as well! Vote goes to 80's no.1's.

Deciding on a Top 10 was difficult! :thinking: +15 Oasis "Some Might Say" +12 Blur "Beetlebum" +10 Manic Street Preachers "If You Tolerate this...." +08 ATB "9PM (Till I come)" +06 The KLF "3AM Eternal" +05 The Spice Girls "Viva Forever" +04 Oasis "Don't Look Back In Anger" +03 The Prodigy "Firestarter" +02 The Verve "The Drugs Don't Work" +01 Cher "Believe" -02 2 Unlimited "No Limit"

No probs...I keep forgetting I'm the oldie on here. Lol! I got into the charts in 1980 when I was 11. Used to write them down and have recordings of all the new entries from 1985-1995. Got to admit I had to check up on a few of the '99 no.1's to remind me of how good/bad they were! Thank goodness for Youtube and Spotify! Jimmy Nail was a popular actor in the mid-80's early 90's. He starred in "Auf Wiedershen Pet" and "Spender". "Aint no Doubt" was a fun track but he COULD actually sing! Not sure if it would make a dent on todays chart though! I'm chilled! Lol

How is it possible to 'rate' a track that spent 3 weeks at number 1 when you've never heard it? Maybe time to change your misleading username!!!
