Stuart Cable doing a full-on "Hello Mum" into the camera at the start of the song.

Which is an excuse to mention that her name was Mabel Cable. #TotP

You never see 2 Stereophonics songs in the same room at the same time.

“The Fantastic Stereophonics” look love it’s either one of those things or the other, not that convinced it’s both #totp

Oh god, A Teens - if Steps are somehow too edgy for you, here’s your Act #totp

We just noted that! #totp

One of the greatest remixes of all time! Slinky pop at its best #totp

Poor Another Level, perfectly competent but now looking like a first draft Blue #totp

Big sympathy for Juliet’s Suggs shyness - I once walked alongside Billy Bragg for ten minutes on a demo without having the nerve to say hello

Our thanks to lovely @nickinmasham.bsky.social who has reminded us to say that there is a NEW EPISODE!! Join us for the chart as it was announced on 7 April 1996, as Juliet’s parents struggle to grasp East vs West Coast Hip Hop, Juliet fails to meet Suggs and Ed is freaked out by child gangsters

@chartlifepod.bsky.social That Harmonix track is bizarre. It's well-produced library music you'd find on a game menu in 2003, except for that sample which somehow ends up sounding like Eye In The Sky instead of U2 anyway. Imagine Deconstruction putting that out in 1996. Deconstruction! How? Why?

Crush (Polygram TV, 1997) Review Before I leave 1997, I’d like to take a look at a compilation that came out earlier in the year but only found its way into my collection that Christmas. It was a particularly stormy d…

Great review of it here. It’s on Discogs I think too.
