Top Of The Trending Topics. #TOTP
The ‘90s run of #TOTP is taking a week off, but the 1996 editions should probably start the week after that, I think? We have Dubstar, Gene and Dreadzone to look forward to. Also there’ll be Babylon Zoo.
And here’s what you could look forward to in the evening: youtube.com/watch?v=GBqOEl… #TOTP
If you stayed tuned to BBC One on Christmas Day 1995 you could enjoy Only Fools And Horses, The Queen, and Noel Edmonds. youtube.com/watch?v=vLmfVA… #TOTP
Jarvis Cocker infamously interrupted Michael Jackson’s performance of “Earth Song” at the Brit Awards on 19 February 1996. Here’s a bunch of news reports: youtube.com/watch?v=ymCQyq… #TOTP
The “Earth Song” video was shot in the Amazon rainforest, Karlovac in Croatia, Tanzania, and New York (in a cornfield used for the forest fire sequence). #TOTP
“I later found out the cause of the great man’s monumental shyness. Apparently he was on nose job number 12, or thereabouts, and his attempt at a button-like proboscis had pretty much collapsed... apparently it looked truly awful.” #TOTP
"Once I'd got my head around the idea it became hilarious. I'd try to get to the other end of the desk to get an ashtray or whatever, only to find three people blocking my path." #TOTP
Bassist Guy Pratt recalls recording his part on “Earth Song”: “Someone was hiding under the [mixing] desk, telling the engineer what Michael would or wouldn’t like... it was all I could do not to fall apart in a mixture of hysteria and confusion.” #TOTP
It charted again (as part of a series of CD single reissues) at 34 in June 2006 (his 67th hit), and then again as a download following his death in July 2009, climbing back to 33. #TOTP
The 42nd of 75 (including reissues) UK top 40 hits credited to Michael Jackson, "Earth Song" was the sixth of his seven number ones (and his only Christmas number one). "Earth Song" stayed at number one for six weeks across December 1995 and January 1996. #TOTP
The last time this edition was repeated (in 2020), they accidentally aired the Mike Flowers version. They recorded a studio performance! How gutting must that have been? youtube.com/watch?v=Oeye8x… #TOTP
As the Christmas chart was only announced the day before this #TOTP aired, two alternate edits of the show were prepared: one with Michael Jackson announced as number one; one with Mike Flowers Pops topping the chart.
"I Believe" was also a hit in 1964, when a cover by The Bachelors peaked at two. youtube.com/watch?v=XNdiJB… #TOTP
"I Believe" was originally a number one for Frankie Laine – for 18 non-consecutive weeks – between April and September 1953 (becoming the best-selling UK single of 1953). youtube.com/watch?v=EJg3hO… #TOTP
The second of three UK top 40 hits – all number ones – for Soldier Soldier stars Robson Green & Jerome Flynn, "I Believe" (a double a-side with "Up On The Roof") stayed at the top for four weeks. #TOTP
Harsh but
“When Mick came back into the room, he heard his vocal against the rhythm track and he loved it straight away and said; ‘That’s absolutely what I want!’” #TOTP
“When he came back, we listened to them and decided to use a sample from the Goodmen track, recording it into an Akai sampler and then looping one of the main parts.” #TOTP

'Fingered by the waltzers' is presumably Hucknall's idea of pleasure at the fairground. #totp
@TOTPFacts And her Dad was a lecturer at Guildford School of Acting, at the time of @benpeyton007 @EmmaBarton and @emmalloydcowell
@TOTPFacts I was once in a quiz where one of the questions was "which film is associated with The Unchained Melody?", and despite knowing very well that the answer the compere was looking for was Ghost, I couldn't bring myself to say it because of knowing this information.
@TOTPFacts No. I think the record is 2000 with 42 but not 100% sure.
Lambert in my class told us that Terry Jacks was really dying.
@TOTPFacts Wasn't that originally supposed to be a song for Elvis Presley, shortly before he died?
@TOTPFacts Famously sued Sharon Osbourne for royalties who then promptly had the Ozzy albums he appeared on re-recorded to reduce any future money. Also had his name misspelled each time it appeared. Such a classy lady.
@TOTPFacts I turned on and my first thought was: "What the hell is Donald Trump singing a Bill Haley song!!"
@TOTPFacts Well if we're being pedantic the battle wasn't even at Waterloo. That's where Wellington spent the night before.
@TOTPFacts We just cast that to the telly instead of watching MJ so thank you 👏👏👏
We started it.
The title "Perfect" has also provided hits for: Fairground Attraction (number 1, May 1988), The Lightning Seeds (18, July 1995), Smashing Pumpkins (24, September 1998), One Direction (2, October 2015) and Ed Sheeran (1, December 2017). #TOTP
@TOTPFacts "Hit And Miss" reached #10.
@TOTPFacts John Barry’s from York. He composed a few James Bond songs.
@TOTPFacts A strikingly similar shopfront to the Cambridge furniture shop J H Cooper, which in the 1940s offered home delivery but not credit, and had the slogan "let your neighbours know you paid cash for your furniture". No-one named a band after that.
If my parents bought me this I'd bloody call Childline #totp
More solid overnight BARB figures for this week’s Top Of The Pops re-runs on BBC4. These are the all-adults aged 15+ figures. First column is the 15 min breakdowns, and the last column is avg audience across each full show, so just over 400k for the 1984 and 1980 eps. #TOTP
Mr Berriman’s entire #TOTP oeuvre is worth it just for this glorious factoid alone. Bung him a ko-fi folks.
During the shooting of 2001: A Space Odyssey, it was often Derek Cracknell's cockney tones that the actors had to act against when speaking with HAL 9000, as he read in the computer's lines. Keir Dullea: "It was a bit like playing opposite Michael Caine."' #TOTP
@TOTPFacts *1992 and 1995 - what is wrong with me this week? 😫
