Internet TV is the future. If you already have one.It won't be a problem. Streaming will soon be the way forward with all TV & Radio. It's not really problem. Anymore than going digital was.

Noi the Radio One age range does not require adjustment. It's always been a teenaged station, with DJs that have the mind of teenagers aka Blackburn, Stewart, Travis, Savile meets Wright, Campbell, Powell meets Ball, Evans, Mills, Yates & Cotton. The Pirate stations should never of been forced to close in 1967, & the BBC should never of been pushed to do something that they didn't really want to do i.e. being stuffy nosed pillocks. Radio 2 needs adjusting & needs to get it's celebrity presenters axed. Get in some knowledgeable presenters, that can operate their own desks & generally keep their gobs shut & play more music, instead of "now here's some travel news", "here's another 5 minutes of news" & "let's prattle on about a load a bollocks for another 10 minutes" & most of all, get rid of idiots like Blackburn, Phillip Swern etc & use their own sources instead of paying enormous amounts to production companies, run by ex-members of Capital flipping Radio.

In March 1976, the M & O band were never played, as the "Do The Latin Hustle" single had stolen the same backing track from Eddie Drennon & The BBS Unlimited. In the same week Eddie was #20 & the M & O band rip off at #16.

Try telling him what a maxi single was! When you had 2 tracks on one side & one on t'other, because BMRB would not allow EPs in the charts in the 1969 to 75 run. So, artists got around it by putting max singles out. Jethro Tull, Clodagh Rodgers, Family etc. Then came 1976 & bosh, in came the EPs again via Demis "The Singimg Tent" Rousos. Imagine EPs were still not allowed in 1976, then "Forever & Ever" would of been a lost number one. Some records were released as EPs, but were not recognised as such & only one or 2 songs were listed on the chart. Kiki Dee "Loving & Free" was one. "Paul Nicholas "Grandma's Party" another. Funny times. Bre (& others)....Boney M's record did not start out as a Double A side. DJs began to play the other side in July 1978 (fed up with "Babylon"). The public were not all aware that it was on the other side of "Babylon" & some people, actually bought it twice, as the A & B side were flipped. There is an equation of a split side. It sold 1.151 before it was flipped over. "Brown Girl" then took over as A side, until the end of it's run & got 476,200. Of course, as it was the same record, all these had to be added together for a en of year chart. "You're The One That I Want" was the most popular song of 1978, really. It achieve 1.6266m in Panel sales, by the end of 1978. The Beatles do win the equal amounts in popularity of Submarie/Eleanor Rigby. Though, they also had equal exposure on Top Of The Pops, as most of their "B" Sides were also feature on said programme, when they were not Double A sides. The equal amounts of Double A side via the 70s, would be Rod Stewarts "I Don't Want To Talk About It/First Cut Is The Deepest". "First Cut" was always featured on TOTPs, but the radio preferred "I Don't Want". BMRB messed up the year end sales of this in 1977 & placed it at #33, because they mixed up a 3 with a 2 in it's Panel sales. It really sold 619,000 & was a top 15 single of the year.

One word (if it does) HYPE. Shouldn't be allowed even to enter the charts. It's false pretences. Only one reason for something to re-enter the charts & that is a death. Even then I'm not keen on that sort of thing, as it becomes kind of a fan thing aka Jackson, Lennon, Presley, Winehouse. Only one person's death has had an effect on me, to re-buy something & that was the untimely death of Malcolm Roberts some years back. Though neither did I want it back in the charts.

Well it would work for LPs, but Singles? I think not. Apparently the over 40s don't buy singles unless it's an irish related group or an Ex-lax single. Which is why the singles chart is pointless, as it's just a reflection of a minor agegroup. As in, the top 40 will NOT be moving to Radio 2 in the future.

Smiffi (with 2 "F"s!) Gallup took over in January 1983, not 1984.

Originally the idea was to feature all the acts in the top 3, as in Pick Of THe Pops had played the complete top 3 in every programme since September 1957. Obviously the idea was changed, as it got very repetititive & static. Then each edition of the show, had to not repeat anything from the previous week, except the #1 or #1s (as there were a few joint #1s).

ACTUALLY nothing exists from the first show. The Jimmy Savile bit, is a re-creation from the 90s & the first artist on the show was Dusty Springfield, not the Rolling Stones. I know I wrote down the playlists in the 60s & even the BBC Archives confirm Dusty, as the first person to perform. So, someone's made yet another balls up. Surprise surprise, indeed! The January 1964 line ups (as follows, complete with BBC positions): 1-1-64: Presenters: Jimmy Savile & Alan Freeman (Wiped) (5) DUSTY SPRINGFIELD – I Only Want To Be With You (13) THE ROLLING STONES – I Wanna Be Your Man (6) GENE PITNEY – 24 Hours From Tulsa (crowd dancing) (2) DAVE CLARK FIVE – Glad All Over (NEW) CLIFF RICHARD & THE SHADOWS – Wishing Well (video) (12) CLIFF RICHARD & THE SHADOWS – Don’t Talk To Him (video) (21) THE HOLLIES – Stay (3) THE BEATLES – She Loves You (and charts) (10) SWINGING BLUE JEANS – Hippy Hippy Shake (4) FREDDIE & THE DREAMERS – You Were Made For Me (1) THE BEATLES – I Want To Hold Your Hand (video) ************************************************** 8-1-64: Presenters: Alan Freeman & David Jacobs (Wiped) (17) ADAM FAITH & THE ROULETTES – We Are In Love (13) ELVIS PRESLEY – Kiss Me Quick (crowd dancing) (7) BIG DEE IRWIN – Swingin’ On A Star (video) (12) THE HOLLIES – Stay (20) BILLY FURY – Do You Really Love Me Too (crowd dancing) (4) DUSTY SPRINGFIELD – I Only Want To Be With You (3) SWINGING BLUE JEANS – Hippy Hippy Shake ® (1) DAVE CLARK FIVE – Glad All Over (1) THE BEATLES – I Want To Hold Your Hand (video) ************************************************** 15-1-64: Presenters: David Jacobs & Pete Murray (Wiped) (8) THE HOLLIES – Stay (19) FRANK IFIELD – Don’t Blame Me (video) (16) GERRY & THE PACEMAKERS – I’m The One (2) THE BEATLES – I Want To Hold Your Hand (video) (13) ADAM FAITH & THE ROULETTES – We Are In Love (25) THE FOURMOST – I’m In Love (2) SWINGING BLUE JEANS – Hippy Hippy Shake (video) (16) BRENDA LEE – As Usual (crowd dancing) (1) DAVE CLARK FIVE – Glad All Over (crowd dancing) ************************************************** 22-1-64: Presenters: Pete Murray & Jimmy Savile (Wiped) (13) BILLY FURY – Do You Really Love Me Too (7) GERRY & THE PACEMAKERS – I’m The One (2) SWINGING BLUE JEANS – Hippy Hippy Shake ® (11) ADAM FAITH & THE ROULETTES – We Are In Love (crowd dancing) (11) FRANK IFIELD – Don’t Blame Me (video) (29) THE MERSEYBEATS – I Think Of You (6) THE SEARCHERS – Needles And Pins (3) THE BEATLES – I Want To Hold Your Hand (crowd dancing) (1) DAVE CLARK FIVE – Glad All Over (video) ************************************************** 29-1-64: Presenters: Jimmy Savile & Alan Freeman (Wiped) (12) MANFRED MANN – 5-4-3-2-1 (NEW) BRIAN POOLE & THE TREMELOES – Candy Man (video) (4) GERRY & THE PACEMAKERS – I’m The One ® (14) BILLY FURY – Do You Really Love Me Too (17) THE FOURMOST – I’m In Love (2) SWINGING BLUE JEANS – Hippy Hippy Shake ® (19) THE BACHELORS – Diane (22) THE ROLLING STONES – You’d Better Move On (1) THE SEARCHERS – Needles And Pins

Sheila Tracey 1960. Those big dance bands of the late 50s & early 60s. The dance halls across the country. Great stuff. Shame they've all been turned into Bingo halls.

It can't really be compared because The Chart Show, ran a Wednesday to Tuesday chart...where as Milward Brown/Radio One & that stuff were on the Sun to Sat throw. To which, you've compared it to the wrong Radio One chart anyway, as Chart Show was ahead on the Saturday, so the equivalent of Radio One, would of been the following week ending date. Both w/k ending 22nd Jan 94. As follows: 10 ( 17 ) CeCe Peniston - "I'm In The Mood (UK Mix)" 9 ( 8 ) Eternal - "Save Our Love" 8 ( 9 ) Haddaway - "I Miss You" 7 ( 26 ) DJ Duke - "Blow Your Whistle" 6 ( 3 ) K7 - "Come Baby Come" 5 ( 4 ) Bryan Adams, Sting, & Rod Stewart - "All For Love" 4 ( 6 ) East 17 - "It's Alright" 3 ( 5 ) Culture Beat - "Anything" 2 ( 2 ) Chaka Demus & Pliers - "Twist & Shout" 1 ( 1 ) D:Ream - "Things Can Only Get Better" Don't be obsessed with the Radio One chart & over use this "official" word. It's no better than any other chart. All charts were pretty correct, it's just that they ran a different compilation period. Plus they all made mistakes on more than one occasion.

Wrong 1958 chart. It is 11th Jan & not 4th...Perhaps they didn't want to admit that the real #1, was "Ma, He's Making Eyes At Me". Rubbish NME shite. Record Mirror covered the most shops in 1958. Plus "Ma" was #1 in most published charts.

It's not that they can't play certain artists, it's that they choose not too. Also consider this: The show is made by an Independant Production company (Unique Broadcasting). Now they are a team of ex-Capital Radio Producers. Considering you pay a Licence to listen to Radio 2, I don't think it correct that an Independant team, should be producing a BBC Radio show. They have enough producers at Radio 2, to make their own show. Plus they also have their own archives. An enormous place, but rather than use that, Phillip "swillbag" Swern uses some old books. Namely the Guiness Top 40 book Tony Jasper's Top 20 book & the NME 40 Years Of Charts book. A BBC show? No way, it could easily be going out on the awful Gold Network. Terrible show. Plus you'll never get much variety on that show, coz Blackbutt is a "Soul" man & forget late 80s & early 90s house, 70s Punk & Rock. Blackbutt & Swern hate both. And do remember the show is on Radio 2. So, variety must stop at Eurovision. And yep it will be Tuesday 5th January 1982, not Tuesday 12th & you will get the made up, nonsensical NME Chart for 1958 & not the proper BBC chart. Listen to the Classic Retro Countdown instead. We play every record that ever made the charts from 1959 to 1986 & all the original charts that you heard on the original POTP & TOTPs.

Certainly does. Cheers. Many thanks to all those that have made "The Ultimate UK Chart" the Top UK Internet Chart show, too. 12,000 likes on Facebook. Overshadowing "The Direct UK Chart" & "The OTC Chart Show" by 3 to 1, every week in listeners & nice to see the Twitter comments from up & coming bands, that support us, as well. Especially Mike Hough. Well done Mike, already #21. Simon Cowell eat your words! :teresa:
