This week’s only episode - it’s Eurovision selection time tomorrow - is hosted by Mike Read. It’s a poor start with some rubbish from Linx. Bucks Fizz fresh from winning Eurovision. Mike Read must have been devastated not to be able to make some complaint about those pesky foreigners not voting for our entry. Looks like the girls left their longer skirts behind in wherever the contest was held. Someone called Keith Marshall has been dropped. Anyone remember him? Saxon also ended up on the cutting room floor. David Bowie with one of his less well-known songs. Now, what might Legs & Co make of Up The Hill Backwards? An appropriate crossword clue might be LLIHEHTPU, which could be somewhere in Wales. Oh, where’s the hill? Fresh from leaving Rainbow (the band, not the children’s programme), it’s Graham Bonnet. It’s back to less well-known hit time, this one from Public Image Ltd. Marvel at the state-of-the-art effects here. I don’t think it will take long to forget this song again. Apparently Eddy Grant can’t get enough of you, but I’ve had enough of this song. Not his best effort. On to the first bit of the chart rundown, taking us into The Whispers. Tonight’s editor doesn’t seem to be a rock fan. Gillan are the final victims of the week. Therefore, we are denied the sight of Mike Read pretending to be a big fan. Hazel O’Connor brings a new meaning to the term D-Day which has nothing to do with war or money. She doesn’t seem to have had time to finish getting dressed. The top ten rundown takes us to Shakin’ Stevens still number one. There endeth another show. Just Caught up with this one, uploaded it on to my smartphone for something to watch on a Ryanair flight from Stansted to Shannon yesterday, pretty boring though, only highlight for me was Bucks Fizz.

What a coincidence, if it is the same week they do from 1988 tomorrow, then it will be the same week Mark did in his very first cover for Bruno Brookes back in 1988. He was on for the first time 21st February 1988 at 5pm. Confirmed, it was that chart.

Does it have to be a certain era or is it 60's to current day, is the station a specific genre? 70's to current day, pop and rock.

Just a Thought, could the BBC just edit out Saville and Travis from the TOTP episodes, and mash in a chart run down from a suitable legendary DJ that was on the show at the time for example Tony Blackburn, as a special freshly recorded piece done in 2015, using the 1980's info, that way we may get to see all episodes.

What is the current rate now per track, I know in the 90's it was £80-100 per track £14.91 per minute , Radio 2 pay over £22 So the three hour Top 40 when it was on cost over £2,600. Wow!

Radio 1 gets no pay from record companies they actually pay to play the tracks. They go by committee meetings and by listener feedback and if listeners like a certain artist they will support them even if the single is unlikely to be a hit. Especially rock as they have a lot of young listeners who like to hear heavy bands. Radio 1 are not a hit music station they play popular music but not necessarily top 40 hits, it's not always the same thing especially these days when the chart is so slow. What is the current rate now per track, I know in the 90's it was £80-100 per track
