Come on! Yazzzzzzz. #totp

They are playing GnR - the bastards aren't cowards!
#TOTP

I see a former member of the Twitter #TOTP crowd has tried to contact me from their Bluesky account, but has that account so locked down that I can't see what they've said. Hope it wasn't important, 'cause whatever it is, I'm missing it.

Baby Campbell. #TOTP

The Aerosmith stadium set is a better version of Jodie Whittaker's TARDIS control room.
#TOTP #DoctorWho

Young Sparks! That'll do. #TOTP

Anyone else suddenly thirsty? #TOTP

Wikipedia describes this as using "a prominent sample of 'Why Worry'". I think that underplays it!
#TOTP

This really is a #totp of its time, isn't it?

You're my favourite waste of time, #TOTP-ers. Have a great weekend and see you next time.

I do like Crush, and Jennifer Paige is doing a good job live.
Did she go on to further success? Maybe one more hit, but nothing close to this?
#TOTP

Sparks turn out to be only second most bonkers act of the show. #TOTP

They've changed the words enough to make it clear that Under the Bridge is now a love song to the All Saints' home town, not to RHCP's home town. But it just occured to me that I don't know where the All Saints' home town is. #TOTP #1998Watch

When The Divine Comedy played the Warwick SU, probably a year or two before this, allegations about a band member's (consensual) one-night stand made the student newspaper.
#TOTP

Bit of class warfare from Weller and the boys? Don't mind if we do! #TOTP

Twoop ... owfta ... pwopps! #totp

"Her turnips don't grow very high" is some kind of euphemism, I'm sure. #TOTP

I don't think I know this Luticia McNeal song, but it does sound very similar to the one I think I do know.
Or I'm confusing it with "I Wanna Be The Only One" by Eternal?
#TOTP

It's all done with clever computer trickery Mark. Don't worry, it's a passing fad. #TOTP

It's not worth dying for, Bryan. #totp

Ooh, Tanita Tikaram. She's just released a new album this year in case you wondered. #TOTP

I do love that Yazz was so obviously a hardcore clubber and just treated her appearances on #TOTP as if it was another night out.

KEYTAR KLAXON!
And Gloria's been shopping in the same lingerie store that Madonna uses. #TOTP

What's in the backpack? Any ideas? #totp

Hands, Read! #TOTP #1981Watch

Sorry Mel. It's not bad, but Beyoncé is going to do all this sort of thing a thousand times better. #TOTP

I see you all reeling from the whiplash but contrast it to 1998 when every song sounded the same. This is better, surely. #TOTP

In many ways, it is drizzling in the #totp studio.

Ever wondered where PSB, Erasure & all the others got the notion that the keyboard player should stand there emotionless? Now you know. #TOTP

They could play pretty much anything from that Top 30 and it would knock 1998 into the long grass.
Almost anything. I have no doubt they'll find the dross for us though. #TOTP

Strangely, I remember a lot of these words. #totp

Clare dressed for Southend but in the studio. Was there a scheduling mix-up? #TOTP #1981Watch

I hadn't realised there was Salt, N and Pepa.
#TOTP

RE: #TOTP

Not sure that _any_ of them are saints, tbh #totp

RE: #TOTP

Those trumpets sound remarkably synthesised.
Almost... like... they're... not... plugged in?!
#TOTP #Sonia

Is this bloke from neighbours or something? #totp

I like this ... ?! What is happening to me? #totp

I'm love how chilled All Saints dancing was. #totp

Corr, what a anti-vaccine conspiracy pillock. #totp

Yay Culture Club! #TOTP #1982Watch

Would you look at that ... Salt n peppa's here! #totp

So, just turned on #TOTP. Unplugged hanging synths and a superfluous dancer.
How very 90s.

Well this is an earworm I didn't ever need to hear again. #totp

Five years of piano at the conservatoire, and here I am dad. #totp

Now this is more like it. #TOTP #1976Watch

I think she's got enough space in those trousers to smuggle something substantial. #totp

Utah All Saints - the super group. Might be a bit energetic for the all saints girls though. #totp

Now we're going 7 weeks before I was born. #TOTP #1976Watch

Sorry, gotta go. Early morning tomorrow. Have a good rest of the show everyone. It's been lovely as usual. #TOTP

Well at least they've come into the studio to avoid repeating the problematic video. #TOTP #1976Watch

DEELEY BOPPERS KLAXON! #totp

Proper pops! Pyyyeeewwwwww! #TOTP

Stop drowning the audience, Bates! #TOTP

Stop throwing that bloody Thatcher at me!
#TOTP

There it is! #totp

Is the breakdancer OK? Do we need to call a medic? #TOTP

Oh Eddy, you should have danced with her. She looks mightily pissed off. #TOTP

Yeah, come on!! 🤟🏼#totp

Was Buddy Holly resurrected and given a job as Dionne Warwick's bassist? #TOTP

Top drummer face there. #totp

Dionne Warwick. Sit down everyone else, shut up and watch, this is how you do things. #TOTP

Now _that's_ a bass guitar. #totp

I assume they're no longer Number One, then? Chart glory was short-lived indeed in the late 90s. #TOTP

Play Joan Jett you bastards! #totp

Everybody get up now.
5ive will make you get down.
FFS choose - which is it, up or down? #TOTP

Well I thought that was a pretty good #totp !

I've no idea why Simon Bates continued with his DJ-ing career when he's so obviously a comedy genius. #TOTP

I do like Crush even though if you'd asked me five minutes ago I wouldn't have had a clue who sung it. #TOTP

Did he just say what I thought he said? #totp

Dear #Bluesky #TOTP-ers. If you reply to me, or quote my posts, and you are not following the Fedi bridge, then I can't see your replies/quotes. You're shouting into the void. Don't do that, it's silly. Follow the bridge 😄
(you can follow the bridge here: https://fed.brid.gy/login)

Also one of the worst films of the decade. #totp

There are not that many bands fronted by a female bassist/vocalist, but all those I can think of are bloody excellent. #TOTP

There were rumours that they weren't all saints. #totp

What happened to Blue Zoo? It looks like they hit all the New Romantic / New Wave g-spots, but then disappeared without trace. #TOTP

I notice that Theakston didn't have the bottle to call Courtney Love "top translatlantic totty". He's not quite as daft as he looks. #TOTP

This isn't doing it for me. And those trousers aren't doing it for her either. #totp

The time difference between the release of Love Me Do and the original airing of this Top of the Pops is less than half that between the #TOTP episode and now.
*puts on pipe & slippers and falls asleep*

Who's playing the keyboards, manics? Who? Are they too embarrassing to have on #totp ? Is it one of your dads?

Steven Tyler knows that if you get a rock ballad right, it's timeless. And of course you then have the royalties rolling in for decades.
#TOTP

George looks simultaneously delightedly surprised to be on Top of the Pops and convinced that he's now in the place he was always meant to be.
#TOTP

TUNE! #totp

Bruce!
#TOTP

READ! Hands off the audience. #totp

Ooh, pre-Eurythmics Annie. 1970s #TOTP you are spoiling us tonight.

That singer's not even plugged in. #TOTP

Campness meter just went off the scale. #TOTP

I hope that was an ironic Depechay, Nicky. #TOTP

Play You Keep It All In in full, you bastards! #TOTP

Oh who cares. There's a keytar. I said: THERE'S A KEYTAR!
#TOTP

S'Express but it's not Theme From ...
does not compute.
#TOTP

Gary Numan at number one. Is this the moment that 70s became the 80s?
#TOTP

"Manchester, Liverpool, and [other of those mysterious places in] the north"
#TOTP

Mike Read vanishing into the dry ice. If we're lucky he'll never find his way out again. #TOTP

So it turns out that amongst her multitude of other talents, Kate Bush also invented the Thriller dance. #TOTP

All nutty boys is excellent nutty boys, but very early nutty boys is possibly the best. I do love The Prince.
#TOTP

The Eight-Legged Groove Machine was one of those records that I literally played so much I wore out the groove. Ironic. #TOTP

You always get the impression that Aerosmith never quite took themselves too seriously, and that's part of what makes this song so enjoyable. #TOTP
