Weekly podcast with Juliet and Ed counting down the UK Top 40 Singles every week as it was 30 years ago! Taking an irreverent look at every new entry, bangers to clangers. https://linktr.ee/ChartLife
This is us!! Well said, Steven (himself from the excellent Nothing Is Real podcast!)

Thanks to everybody who supports us.
A podcast was - and should still be - an enthusiast driven audio forum; a hand written fanzine about your favourite band or team printed after hours on the school photocopier.
Not a celebrity fronted marketing exercise recycling an already successful TV show with one eye on a Netflix special. Fin.

Ace of Base doing Motown is as bewilderingly brilliant now as it was! This is a cracker, sounds like a vintage era Eurovision winner too #TOTP

I remember at the time me and my 2 ladyfriends used to get off taxi fares by pretending we were the Honeyz

It's to the tremendous credit of Dublin taxi drivers that they fell for it #TOTP

To my immense distress, Middlemiss just introduced #totp like it was an episode of Top Gear.

Jamie Theakston tries SO HARD to do the withering sarcasm that Mark Lamarr was bringing to Never Mind The Buzzcocks at around the time this era of #TOTP was airing, but he just doesn't have the timing, wit, personality or credibility to pull it off.

This was a good, interesting era of Beautiful South - they were better for being a bit off beam #totp
