Umm, right, yeah. Why exactly do people tune into a chart show? To find out where singles are placed in the chart, and to discover what&#8217;s number one. You also know that you&#8217;re going to hear all the said records, even the ones that mightn&#8217;t ordinarily get playlisted by Radio 1 (few though those might be). Someone also seems to have sold in to JK &#038; Joel that getting just the one show a week rather than their previous two is somehow a <em>good thing<\/em>.<br \/>\nIn the meantime, Top of the Pops is getting <a href=\"http:\/\/media.guardian.co.uk\/broadcast\/story\/0,7493,1361938,00.html\">sidelined<\/a> over to BBC 2. And it&#8217;s being moved to Sundays. It&#8217;s unclear at the moment where exactly it&#8217;ll sit, but the official <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/pressoffice\/pressreleases\/stories\/2004\/11_november\/29\/totp.shtml\">press release<\/a> talks of it being in an extended foramt. I imagine that it&#8217;ll follow on sometime after the chart has been announced on Radio 1 at 7.00pm. But then they&#8217;ll have to do that week&#8217;s charts which means that the whole recording process and live studio audience will have to change considering that they&#8217;d then have to either have live links or make the whole show live &#8211; surely unllikely. Obviously there&#8217;ll be strong cross-promotional opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it&#8217;s all change with both the Radio 1 chart show and Top of the Pops.
