The first two weeks of "Kiss Me" by Stephen Tin Tin Duffy. Starting with, ooh, a cover version, VOTB with Jimi Somerville, to end homelessness, well that worked. It's not bad but of course not a patch on the original. Somerville's stuff though is occasionally embarrassingly bad.
Talking of embarrassingly bad, Whitney Houston. Terrible, dull, by-numbers ballad of excruciating boredom.
New Order in the studio, which means they've been on three weeks in a row. Am now suspicious that having them on three times means some **** at the BBC is going to say "look, we play indie too" when it's the same one all the time. Like the Nazis with Theresienstadt.
The US number one from Silk, which is complete sh*t. Should have been Slik.
They're still threatening Janet Jackson. Sub Sub, so dance AGAIN.
Breakers. Midnight Oil, which a sensible programmer would have put on the main show to give it some variety. Dance 2 Trance, which a sensible programmer would have binned after one second. Sting, who can f*** right off. D:Ream, so, more dance.
Deacon Blue. They're trying to turn rock, but it's like Jarvis Cocker dressing up, they've gone from talc on the Moh's scale to gypsum.
"One of the biggest names in music". Janet Jackson, who has had fewer no.1 hits than Lieutenant Pigeon. At least this is different to her normal sh*te, it has a mellow vibe and she's not trying to push her mediocre voice into impossible realms, instead it's almost seductive. Silk should have looked at this.
Bluebells now doing a sort of 1930s Busby Berkeley thing. They deserve a huge amount of credit for trying to be different every time they're on. One of them writes for the Guardian now.

29/4.
Things that are dance and have been on before so should not have been within a million miles of the studio: D:Ream, Dance 2 Trance
Things that are dance and have not been on before but are still dogshit: SWV, Inner Circle
Things that are not dance and have been on before: Sonia, the cover version at no. 1
Breakers that should have been on in full rather than the dance sh*te: Big Country, Blur, PJ Harvey
Things that are not dance and have not been on before, and so are the only reason for watching: REM, Robert Plant
Again, imagine the logic. We can either have PJ Harvey, one of the most talked-about and interesting fresh British acts, or Dance 2 Trance. And someone went with Dance 2 Trance. Absolute cretin.

Strange treatment of the Five Live EP - the same single is number 1 for 3 weeks but they show a different track each week.
After showing Killer on week 3 Mark Franklin says “it’s been number 1 twice now, first for Seal in 1989…”. That’ll be Adamski in 1990 then. 🤦♂️

Special. Dortievoice introduces the grungefashionrave (or something like that) for 2 Untalented. Look, I'm not denying that Anita is EXTREMELEY easy on the vaseye, but, Jesus, she CANNOT SING. They make me think the Taleban have a point in banning music.
Janet Jackson video where she seems to be pretending to be street even though she was brought up in a San Fran mansion.
"We keep the dancefloor vibe going." Yes, because literally nothing else is allowed in this Brave New World. Not even "Brave New World". You! Tah! Saints sampling the Human League. Cute, but the impact is somewhat lost because they did it better before. The electronic overlay is very 1971.
Ace Of Base. "In the meantime she's only practising", Dortie's best line yet. This has been all over MTV for months so no surprise it's a hit. Oooh, the blonde is not suited for live vocals AT ALL. She's alright if she never has to leave the one note she has stumbled upon. Dancing straight from the Dr & The Medics playbook. Not sure why the brunette is there, other than as decoration. OH JESUS SHE HAS JUST SUNG THREE WORDS AND IT IS THE MOST HORRIBLE NOISE THAT THE EARTH HAS EVER HEARD. EVEN THE f***ing METEORITE THAT KILLED THE DINOSAURS WAS MORE EUPHONIC. CHRIST ON A BIKE THAT WAS STRAIGHT FROM THE a*sehole OF BEELZEBUB AFTER AN AEON IN THE NINTH CIRCLE OF HELL. Well, I did think this had number 1 stamped all over it, but that vocal performance must have cost it half a million sales. Jesus H Jones, could they not find two cuties who could sing?
Breakers. Sounds Of Blackness, now here are some people who can sing, but there's a reason why Martha Wash was never front and centre of a pop group. We needed a LOT more of this. Depeche Mode, darkgoth, again we needed more of this. And RATM, again we needed more of this. Having these on the show in full instead of 2 Untalented and the umpteenth Jackson would have been a far better programming decision. THAT f***ing THEME. Shabba Ranks, we needed a lot less of this.
Kingmaker. FINALLY something for a change of pace. There is a definite Housemartin vibe about them, albeit more the sledgehammer than the scalpel.
Elton John from another studio somewhere, not behind a piano interestingly. OK, it isn't a bad song, and it's another change of pace for a show that has been sorely lacking in it recently, but, again, IT'S NOT IN THE CHARTS SO WHY PLAY IT? It's not as if there are not other outlets for promoting this one.
No. 1 is Queen, George Michael, and Lisa Stansfield, doing a bad version of a duff Queen track (close to tautologous). Stansfield seems to be taking hair tips from Hilda Ogden.
About five minutes of that was worth watching. That's six more than in the previous two or so hours.

F7F5. OMD to start, with something that sounds like an attempt to meld the dark Depeche Mode with the pop Depeche Mode. By normal band standards, this would be stellar; by OMD standards, it's a bit meh.
Franklin then introduces Shabba and Maxi, so yet again I don't watch the 40 because I'm fed up with this sh*te.
Dina Carroll, don't remember her wearing a miniskirt ever, nice pins, sh*te song.
Robert Plant, so at least another change of pace. It sounds weirdly like "Black Velvet" in tone and feel, other than the chorus which is very sort of Mamas & Papas. Not-very-fun fact: Plant will be denied a solo no. 1 album by Sam Smith, which is even worse than Dolce over the Vox.
Tina Turner, another great raw voice, with the same Lighthouse Familyesque backing that seems à la mode these days. I can't be bothered with it though.
"A good mix of breakers." So why not have them on the show? Waterboys with their typically dramatic take on coruscating folk, really really really needed a play more than Wanks. Then we get the Jungle Book because PEOPLE ARE THICK. Bon Jovi, no thanks.
So, having had "a good mix of breakers" we have a second reggae song and a second reggae song that's been on before. Bravo.
The Michael cover of "Killer" gets a play at the top, it's too similar to the original to be worth more than a casual glance.

Hm, eight days after the above one. Oh God, programmed dance beats to start. Felix, whom I do not recall. Landfill dance.
Video is UB40 with a needless, but at least different, cover version.
Well, you can't spell Luther Vandross without dross. Fitting.
Bon Jovi, live from Glesga, apparently they are the hottest ticket in town, and judging by this it is impossible to see why.
Charles & Eddie, with what seems to be their one song.
Runrig, well, it's different at least. No. 2 in the albums chart. Should not have coincided the release with Mothering Sunday. Sounds like a few other songs from the recent past though. But this is the sort of thing that should be on, for the variety.
Breakers. Dire Straits with the sort of thing that should not be on. Insight into Dortie's attempt to be down wiv ver kids in that he thinks the best record around is from the Spin Doctors. House of Pain. These are all given far too little time to hear anything other than they exist. They could at least have given an extra few seconds each by not showing the same Turner song that was on last week.
St Etienne, who have a friend for Sarah, it's almost a dual lead vocal. (It's Debsey Wykes from Dolly Mixture, who had a no. 1 hit back in 1982.) It's the best thing on the show.
Top 10. REM at 7 and have not had a play. New no. 1, the two least talented vocalists in history. Well done, people of Britain, you tone-deaf wankstains.

Villeneuve Mansell. Stereo MCs, with their biggest hit, but sped up slightly. What's the f***ing point?
Charts accompany Tina Turner on for the third week running. I see the programme planners are as imaginative as Stereo MCs.
Major step up in scope now as we get Suede, although it's really half a song and evidence of deep LP mining. Can't blame them for making as much as they can, when you're hot, you're hot. Heh, "chase the dragon" on primetime telly.
Louchie Lou & Michie One, with a cover version. Well, at least it's not a slavish copy, but surely "Shout" has been done to death?
Lenny Kravitz. Finally we are getting VARIETY on the show. That's TWO songs that are Definitely Not Dance, three if one includes Turner. It's rather languid, even more flowerpower than "Let Love Rule". Not so much the new Hendrix as the new Donovan. Indeed strong hints of Orchestral Beatles. It's very appealing.
Breakers. Bryan Ferry with a cover of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" and the title is literally the only thing we can hear. Megadeth with Megadethy stuff. Highest new entry is GnR and naturally it's not given a full play. Would have been a more logical choice than Turner.
Tears For Fears. It's got some of the drama of their Big Chair era with the orchestral lush of the Seeds Of Love. Also seems to be mainly Roland.
Lisa Stansfield. Again another change of pace, of which I approve, even though I don't like this song. Being a bit spoilt now in suggesting maybe a better song for the ballady section, maybe one IN THE CHART rather than being a film advert, but one cannot have everything. I'm not sure trying to look like Betty Boo suits her either.
The Stephen Hawking tribute act is still no. 1 and we still waste an opportunity by not having a proper playout. Gah.

3-6. Haddaway and sh*te to start.
Charts with UB40 who are at no. 2. It's a fine production to be fair. But that's two repeats.
Jamiroquai. Unlistenable.
Tamsin Archer with a title that hearkens back to a goth supergroup from ten years before. This is pretty good, upbeat and caustic. Maybe needs more oomph in the production but I suppose nobody foresaw her success.
Breakers. Sade with something rather chillout and not very Sade-sounding. We don't get much so we can see Stansfield again. And a new entry for Green Jelly at NUMBER f***ing FIVE but it merely gets a breaker play, which makes zero sense whatsoever.
What do we get instead? A-ha at 22. Oh, I can't be bothered with this.
And PM Dawn with Boy George, again can't be bothered with this.
And Bryan Ferry with a cover version. Again the planners have gone f***ing mad.
Looks like last week was an anomaly then.

Yeah, that annoyed me about the Green Jelly track, it spent 2 weeks at number 5 without a play. I’m not a fan or anything, but following the logic of what the show’s meant to be for, no song ought to be able to spend 2 weeks at number 5 without being played. Can’t help thinking that if it had been played it might have climbed further.

CB language for stand by. Four letter word beginning with S to start. Plus: no Turbo B. Minus: it's so obviously trying to copy "I Feel Love" but by taking out all of the things that made the original so brilliant.
Spin Doctors. Not a great record, although they seem to have Charles (or Eddie) as a member. Those stupid hats are all over the place at univ.
Talking of stupid hats, PSB. Basically a load of old Trollope.
Chakademus & Pliers. I love that name. Something very Steve Albini about the name Pliers. Albeit their sound is of course very different. They do not look like hitmakers at all so more power to their elbow. Jesus, that girl on the right is flexible.
Sade live from New York although they are dropping the whole "hey, we've got them in the studio LITERALLY NOW" bit, which makes me suspicious. It's the best Sade song I can recall, because it's got deep chill elements to it, rather than boredom.
Therapy? with a total change of mood. This one is not their best but at least there's a variety of genres once more. Which at least encourages the casual to watch.
Breakers. Cliff Richard with something that sounds like most of his others. In retrospect it's remarkable in the CD single he is getting hits at all. Fanbase still young enough to hit Woolies? Manics turning into U2 more and more. Sister Sledge, see Lord Vas' rules on not showing re-issues. Time Frequency, three weeks they would have had this in full.
Lisa Stansfield. AGAIN? WHY? ?
Green Jelly still don't get a play for no discernible reason, UB40 still no. 1.

The Time Frequency reprieve lasted precisely one week because WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH DANCE therefore they open the 17/06 show. Like so many of its kind, it's a chorus in search of verses. Nice chorus but it's not a song.
And even though a) it is a re-issue and b) was on last week we get Sister Sledge AGAIN. f*** OFF.
And that's folowed by Hadaway & sh*te. God almighty. Are producers on alternate weeks? One week the show is varied, the next it's utter dancegash?
Sting. f***ing hell, even HE looks bored by this turgid slab of anonymity he's curled out.
Gabrielle, with the highest-ever new entry for a genuine new act, apart from trivial examples. I am bemused how this is successful. It is one note and even that is flat. Dreadful beyond description. Does she have a boyfriend threatening to murder people if they don't play it or something?
Breakers. Kingmaker. This ought to have been a full play. "Queen Jane, there's a lot more people worse off than you." What, executed at 18 by a totalitarian b****? Brian May, with something very Brian May. Thunder, so we could have had three rock(ish) songs on the show, but instead we have repeats of dance sh*te. Well done idiot producer. The Eurovision winner from Niamh Kavanagh, which is the sort of thing that drives people to Brexit, complete cuntwank.
Terence "Trout" D'arby with Des'rée and this is almost the definition of phoning it in. Is he capable of so much better or was that debut album a one-off lightning in a bottle? He certainly seems to have taken lyrical inspiration from her.
Deborah Harry, with illusionist Marc Paul aiding the stage performance (although the vision mixer seems to have been caught by surprise as they don't have much of a clue on which they should be focussing). Note that the first tricks are all about seeing more clearly. Anyhoo, this is, by a very long way, the absolute best thing that has been on TOTP this year, and it's from someone whose heyday was a sesquidecade back. It's a brilliant pop tune and Ms Harry's vocal is better than on the disc.
And there's no point in watching the end because the idiot producers still have not worked out how to do a playout.

6x4/6x1. M People. Heather Small yelling. No ta.
Chart video is an emoting Rod Stewart. Again, no ta.
East 17, who are demonstrating that their 15 minutes is on about 14 past because they're covering PSBs. This is bowel-scrapingly atrocious.
Chakademus & Pliers, who seem to be in the next door studio. Been on before.
Breakers. Sisters With Voices, who are well fit but whose song is Boyz Eleven Men sh*te. Joey Lawrence, well, literally nobody is buying this because they like the song. Teenage Fan Club who are so far removed from everything else on the episode. Should have been in full. But back to dance with Shabba's one song, this time with Queen Latifah on it, although the breaker clip manages not to include her at all.
Remember when this revamp was meant to introduce fresh new acts? Ladies and gentlemen, Brian May & Cozy Powell. It's an indictment to the planning of this ep that it is easily the best full song thus far. Even though it is not all that. But much harder-edged than May's previous output.
And as if to rub my nose in it, Gloria Gaynor. God alfucking MIGHTY. And, in words that nobody has ever uttered in a positive manner before, an exclusive from Alexander O'Neal.
No. 1 is the one-note flat-fart talentless Gabrielle.
f*** me. That is in the running for the worst half-an-hour of television choices anyone has ever made in the entire history of every possible universe. Al f***ing Qaeda banning music would have been a blessing.

Born on the First of July. Dortie at least is trying catchphrases, whereas Franklin just has a bizarre hairdo. And continuing the total shitness of last week the first act is Joey Lawrence. Given the audience is yelling, it's proof positive literally nobody is interested in the alleged music. God, this is worse than bad, this is evil.
We get the Debbie Harry video with the chart rundown. I think the studio performance was better. But this is a staggeringly brilliant record, it seems to be forgotten today given the behemoth that was Blondie, but I'd rank it higher than a couple of her number ones.
New Order. They sound like The Beloved on this one. But not as good. Disappointing.
I got distracted so I didn't see the introduction of the next act and I cannot be arsed to rewind because THERE IS NOTHING HERE. IT IS THE EXACT SAME AS EVERY OTHER f***ing DANCE BULLCUNT THAT IS ON THE f***ing SHOW FOR THE LAST f***ing MILLENNIUM. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DEGREE OF STUPIDITY OF THE SINGER'S HAT.
"Coming up soon, Take T**t." I can only assume Dortie is being subversive because the next song is about eight seconds of Smashing Pumpkins. Which is obviously in a different universe to the sh*t dancers. A bit of Idol, a bit of Coverdale/Page, and it's basically "there is a load of non-dance stuff in the charts, so can we cut it down to as little as possible?" And Taylor Dane answering the question LITERALLY NOBODY asked - "what would a Barry White record sound like sung by a woman?"
4 Non Blondes. A rock band that's 75% female. A rarity. And finally something new on the show that is worth listening to. It's a bit Worthy American but it's like water to a thirst in this fecking show.
Highest new entry is Jade, not a person but a group, and it's crap. Once upon a time Motown had girl groups with personality, pizzazz, presentation. Now it's f***ing production line anonymous plug-and-play w**k.
Fake T**t, who are not in the charts, so naturally they get a play because the BBC are godless merciless genocidal ****s. Seriously, the amount of publicity for this shitfuckbastardarsetwatcock was positively fraudulent. RCA could have spent the same amount of money promoting three dozen acts who would have paid their taxes. They were basically everywhere. Every kids' show, every adult show, "special guests" all week on the supposedly subversive The Big Breakfast. You know, Tiswas would NOT have had them on, and they would NOT have done Tiswas. They would have been all over Swap f***ing Shop. b*st*rd wankturds.
We still have a number one that doesn't have a tune.
f*** me, yet another awful, awful, awful show. Is the BBC deliberately trying to kill it?

9-7.
Theme tune: sh*t.
Franklin's haircut: sh*t.
Franklin's top: sh*t.
Haddaway: sh*t.
Taylor Dayne: sh*t.
Michael Jackson: sh*t.
Kim Wilde: needless.
Chakademus & Pliers: repeat.
Breakers: Usura: weak; Kenny Thomas: needless AND sh*t; AC/DC: tolerable; The Levellers: OK.
Just pause here to note that The Levellers were the second highest new entry, at 12. The highest new entry was Jackson and he got a full play. We have also had full plays from non-movers and those below 12.
M People: sh*t.
Gloria Gaynor: useless and sh*t.
Gabrielle: sh*t.

Quinze sept. It's hard to believe any executive could have watched the last two episodes and thought that this programme was now anything other than a complete, total, and utterly embarrassing shambles. But no, because we start with Dannii Minogue, who at least has the decency to call her pointless, joyless, automaton cover version "This Is sh*t".
Our Totally Alternative video is Paul Weller. Who has been descending since the heights of The Jam. Mick Buxton has a LOT for which to answer. There's nothing wrong with it, it's pretty good, very Small Faces, just agonizing to think what he was capable of previously. I will however note that Weller gets a play for being at 16, whereas The Levellers do not for being at 12.
4 Non Blondes. Seen it. I don't like tattoos on women at the best of times, yes, I am an unreconstructed dinosaur, I frankly do not see the point in tattoos generally, men are dicks so fair enough, but why on earth would ANYone tattoo a question mark on their arm? What's the point? I can get the symbolism or whatever but why does that need to be worn permanently and shown off to everyone? I mean, surely everyone can agree Linda's hat is stupid, but she can take that off.
Deacon Blue, who obviously have compromising pics of an executive because every time they release something they get on. Lorraine is looking well cute in her pixiecut but Ricky does NOT convince as a trying-to-be-badass. Why is she not singing this as well? I've made the point probably every time DB come on that they have the wrong singer, but this one in particular surely suits a more torchsongy voice.
"Kenny Thomas coming soon." Don't you threaten ME. Breakers, Jon Secada, bog standard with the emphasis on bog. Jesus Jones with a cheap zoomy video, could have done with a longer play, given nobody on the planet wants to see Dannii Minogue in any form other than naked and dripping in chocolate. Blur. The breakers have been WAY more interesting than the programme.
"Well done to Kenny Thomas." Because he's at 22. As a reminder, 10 below The Levellers, but he gets two plays, The Levellers get 0. This is rubbish.
"On her way is Madonna." Deep joy. Oui 3, with something that is very different from the usual dance; somewhat jazzy and an interesting breakneck rap delivery. OK, this one gets a pass.
Madonna, on video and out of the charts. This is not very Madonna-y in sound or vision. But I question why the feck it is on when there are, well, 75 more deserving songs out there.
And at the top of the charts we've replaced Tuneless with Talentless. God, I hate this f***ing public.

Archimedes' upper approximation of pi. Shara Nelson to start. Oh dear, she is a very disappointing singer, weak, and poor on the high notes. Well, that's a letdown. Video is Roxette with something more IMHBL than TL. It's from a Super Mario Bros film by the looks of the video. Suggests to me that the film chaps asked them to put in a song, they couldn't be arsed, and threw in some old rubbish that they dug out of the wastepaper basket and said "there you go". I note from the rundown that the Kenny Thomas overkill has got him to a mighty 22. Urban Cookie Collective. Starts with the chorus, smart thinking, because, with so many dance records right now, it doesn't actually have verses, so isn't really a proper song, it's basically a jingle stretched out to a 12 inch. It is a good chorus though. OMD with something lush, rather cleverly the lyrics say "based on a love theme" which is self-referential. But...Andy, mate, you can do WAY better. Breakers. Dance 2 Trance, this is insanely stupid. US3, who are not Oui3, but who are also jazzy, not bad. N-Joi, one bar repeated. REM, this needs a full play because the extract is exquisite. McLachlan & Gibson, the musical equivalent of Vladimir Putin. You Tah Saints. They're basically the John the Baptist for the Prodigy's Jesus. This is way darker than "Something Good". They've gone from Kate Bush to Slayer. Waterboys. Sounds like a Gilbert O'Sullivan out-take from 1977. God almighty, this sterile age is ripping the joie de vivre out of even proper acts now. And I have to rewind to quote Franklin. "Talking of brilliant new singles..." Ooh, who is this going to be? Lush? Swervedriver? PWEI? No. It's "the excellent Jason Donovan". JASON f***ing DONOVAN. FRANKLIN YOU CRETINOUS BRAIN-DEAD MALIGNANT CARCINOGENIC LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR
