Not played tonight in 1998 #TOTP

And that’s it for tonight. Only 50 minutes of 1998 next week, which is probably for the best. #TOTP

Show Me Heaven is making me want to watch Days Of Thunder again. #TOTP

“The week’s chart looks good. What should we play?” “How about Bobby Vinton?” #TOTP

Play all of Neneh Cherry #TOTP

Play all of The Beautiful South #TOTP

So many great tunes in the chart. And for 1990 that is impressive #TOTP

PLAY DEPECHE MODE #TOTP

PLAY THE WEDDING PRESENT YOU COWARDS! #TOTP

TUNE ALERT! #TOTP

And here’s the short lived album chart #TOTP

None of these megamixes were any good #TOTP

Think there were a fair few megamixes that charted in 1989-90 #TOTP

A tune from PSB #TOTP

Play Betty Boo! I don’t care if she’s down #TOTP

PLAY RIDE #TOTP

MC Hammer (Deceased) #TOTP

Decent tune to start 1990. And is that a sample of The Robots by Kraftwerk I hear? #TOTP

And now it’s time for Simon Mayo… 4 years later #TOTP

And a great tune to finish from Paul Simon #TOTP

It’s Madge at number 1 #TOTP

PLAY PSB! #TOTP

I like this Howard Jones one #TOTP

I quite liked that Paul Young track #TOTP

Completely irresistible Julian Cope. An anthem for all times. Even more now than then... #totp

Play The Wizard- oh wait you are #TOTP

Julian Cope. Now we’re talking #TOTP
