I would include an album tack but the problem is it would be personal judgement as to which one, and I’ve really tried to stay clear from that, sorry! xx

That sort of cut-and-shut lineup was part of the absolute mess of the 2003-2006 when TOTP forgot it was a chart show. It’s never meant to be just for “the kids”, but to “inform, educate and entertain” the family as a whole. Screw the ratings, I genuinely feel the BBC has a public service duty under its charter to show half an hour of the charts on prime time TV every week.

new look TOTP titles hit tonight! Britpop finally over! Welcome to the Poptism era!
