'On Fire' Top 20 hits
I voted for Springsteen, Nick's & Driscoll. Surprised not many have voted for This Wheels On Fire (written by Bob Dylan) I grew up with it as another version by Driscoll was used in the 90s as the theme to Absolutely Fabulous. :D

Future of the Chart Show?
I don't very much. I used to back in a time before the internet. I always would have a blank cassette in to record the top 40 so I could listen to all the current hits. I didn't have alot of money so couldn't always afford to buy alot of records, Now albums were good but sometimes you had to wait months for them to come out. If streaming was available then I don't think I would have listened to the radio as much as I never was keen on all the DJ talk.

Future of the Chart Show?
Apart from for nostalgia reasons I don't really know why anyone listens to the chart show any more. When you can hear the songs on the chart whenever you want on Spotify or YouTube. Make a playlist of the chart include the songs you like etc.

Top 50 Highest Placed Non-Number-1s EOY
Whatever is great but was not available on any of their albums till Time Flies in 2009. Might go some way to explaining why it made the EOY top 100 three years running (94-96),can't think of any other song to do that in the pre-digital era.

90s Top 10 Sales- Week By Week- 1992
I remember reading somewhere that apparently the BBC got a lot of complaints about the Praga Khan record. Something to do with the title, maybe people believed it was about drugs.

Buzzjack's Favourite UK No 1 Single Of The 80s
I have the 7" of Ride On Time. Two versions were released one with the original vocal and another with session singer (the one I have). However the name of the singer is not mentioned on the record and like MDF I didn't think it sounded like Heather Small either..
