1. pure arrogance
2. Perhaps they don't want old musicians and song writers today; music is now targeted for age groups.
3. Too many songs to play - about 150 |

This is a question I have previously asked. "The Official Charts" are basically based on the NME Chart between 1952 and 1969, and then the Record Retailer Chart onwards. The Record Retailer Chart was compiled by BMRB, and subsequently by Gallup and Millward Brown. Record Retailer handing over the responsibility to compile to the BPI and Music Week and in the late 1980's to CIN (who turned into OCC). |

Is it true that TOTP compiled a special charts from the charts of the four music weeklys in the 60s (before they used the one from Record Retailer)?
If so, are there any books / web sites with these special charts |

I was at the last ever Pops and I have to tell you there were no live acts. They wheeled out a posse of old djs
Savile, Blackburn, Travis, Janis Long, Pat Sharpe and some of the younger breed also...
They did a series of links to old footage and that was that.
It's #1, It's Top Of The Pops...It's dead. |

I think it'll be neither one thing or the other...
...which is fitting. |
