Back To The Top Of The Pops

Yeah, this one goes out to all you pop pickers out there... word! TOTP, the globally reknowned UK music chart selection show is not, I repeat, IS NOT back! Yep, had all you kidult, 'Guilty Pleasures' going mutha's sweating for a second didn't I ? Didn't I ?! Maybe I didn't. Whatever. There's a guy with a mic and some cd decks who stands in the corner of the George & Dragon pub, Hackney Road on Monday nights. On said nights he does the Top 40 Countdown. "Last weeks highest new entry, this week moves up two places to number 3, it's..." Yes, exactly how you remember it. He does it bloody well, and if you, like many, are sucker for some pop nostalgia then you need to go down and show your support. Last nights highlight: Jermaine Jackson "We don't have to take our clothes off"... what a classic. Storming!
