I loved this show too, but didn't really take much notice of the graphic.
However at the end of the show Mark Radcliffe said there were some great tunes and then on the next programme "The grumpy guide to the 80's" he claims that 80's music was "crap". A bit hypocritical. |

TOTP2's researchers are notoriously slap-dash, they also said Madness Our House was a #1 last night, and buggered the date order up by wrongly stating Shergal Farkey was April 85 (in actual fact October 85)
Sorry Chris, you are wrong. Dog Eat Dog was the 4th single - but the first to chart. His previous 3 releases were re-issued and subsequently charted, but were released BEFORE Dog Eat Dog.
Er...without being a pedant, that's why I referred to it as the 'first hit' (not 'first single'), and went on to mention 're-releases'
Sorry, my mistake. I was in a hurry yesterday, and was still thinking about the TOTP graphics error. |
