Ramblings about the charts for fun and profit. A "nasty piece of work". Who are all these people who go "No DMs"? I wish people messaged more, frankly.

@visegrad24 I fully expect my son to bypass this ridiculous ban and I will think less of him if he does not.

There is chatter that what Taylor wants more than anything else in the world is an Oscar and this is her shooting her shot to get one.

@Fat_Jacques Technically they were never memory-holed as they had hits in this incarnation and the footage of them doing Pictures Of Matchstick Men on Top Of The Pops is (to their lasting regret) still extant.

Fuzzbox. The greatest ever example of a band's original image being utterly memory holed. #TOTP

@mrrwilkinson @leethommo Woe betide we ever besmirch an act who are both metal AND Scottish.

The TOTP approach to Ferry Cross The Mersey was weird, in none of the occasions it was introduced did they make reference to what the record was for and why it was made... it was just "Here's Ferry Cross The Mersey and it is No.1, bye". #TOTP

Both Cyndi Lauper and Roy Orbison recorded I Drove All Night at the same time. She only had the hit first because he had the temerity to die and had to wait another three years before his rendition was posthumously released #TOTP

@Elizabeth241072 These days people would screech about how "transophobic" it is. #sheenawasaman

Neneh Cherry here is performing a song that is a mellow groove but gyrating around the stage like she's performing Rapper's Delight #TOTP

This is W.A.S.P. covering a song from Quadrophenia and bloody nailing it. Amazing scenes #TOTP

Gratuitous plug for everyone watching #TOTP on BBC4 that I wrote an entire book documenting the hits of 1989.

Calm down, this won't be the nudey version. #TOTP

Who gave Anthea Turner a live mic? #totp

Errol Brown..the only man who could wear a bushy moustache and tight spangly pants in 1979 and give off unambiguously heterosexual vibes. Great man. #totp

@leethommo All the Radio Norwich scenes for I'm Alan Partridge were filmed in the main production studio at Unique Facilities. Relied on the audience having no clue that it wasn't a radio mixer he was sat in front of.

@leethommo Given each fader channel appeared to have twelve band EQ on in it would not surprise me that it was a tad over engineered.
