    I'm not taking about albums or alternative or anything like that, I'm talking about Top 40 air play.

    When you look back on these TOTP shows you can remember the songs that "stood the test of time" because they "stood the test of time".

    You could have heard them on the radio any day in 2021 or the intervening years.

    But 1991 was very lean on those, I spend most of my time fast forwarding TOTP 1991 saying "can't remember that", "who ?", " never heard that before".

    TOTP 1991 is full of forgettable songs.

    top 40 is shíte, was shíte, and has always been shíte. Sure if you looked at any episode of TOTP from the 60s you could have the Stones on one minute and then Englebert bloody Humperdinck or some other eejit

    Nearly forty years on, and Bronski Beat’s ‘Smalltown Boy’ still resonates to this day.

    Just catching up on TOTP... this new format is a bit naff and the presenters particularly bland.

    Instead of building up to the #1 / top ten its now an afterthought in the middle of the show with no fanfare...

    The live performances are the only change for the better (well... depending on whether the singer can sing)

    Hoping @Skid X is okay, no roundups posted since 21-10?

    I knew he was taking a break for a week, but has he posted since?

    It's just because nothing's been on, right?


    Ahead of tonight's double serving, the first of which is exactly 30 years ago, let the court recall that the 2,000th edition of Top of the Pops was broadcast on Friday 13th September 2002, exactly 1,000 weeks ago tonight.

    Poor Ed Sheeran will never get to break Status Quo's appearance record.

    4 hours of ABBA on BBC two, that's proper Saturday night television!

    Not sure it's something I will watch but I have nothing but respect for the genius songwriting of ABBA. I soaked up their songs on the radio when I was five when they were still releasing singles without even realising it.

    it's been on loads of times, but it is brilliant. All of these legendary performers just happy to be in the Big O's backing band.

    We need to go back in time, find that presenter (which will be difficult as this lot are so bland and forgetful) and fire them. Into space.
