Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.
Today, we honor the British music series Top of the Pops.
Premiering on January 1st 1964, the show was created to serve as a chart show / promotional vehicle for Pop fans and their “idols” alike and would reveal which song stood as the highest-seller of the week every Friday!
Ending its historical weekly run in 2006, TOTP now broadcasts as a Christmas and New Year’s Day special.
Over the course of its mammoth tenure, the show played host to a number of stars from home and away.
Ready to revisit it? Press play below…
Any fond memories of the show?
As if half of the people who comment will remember TOTP?!
This site is OLD & DATED
Wheres tthe news of Robyn Crawfords
Bio on Whitney? Due in Nov ?????
TOTP was a Platform used by some of the biggest names in popular music. WHO said anything about remembering?
The post is called RETRO REWIND i.e. a look at the PAST. Whether it is remembered or not is irrelevant, if you know anything about live renditions this post is a chance to see a performance from some of the greats that some people may NEVER HAVE SEEN BEFORE. SMH ??♂️

@OurP *Retro Rewind… RETRO. REWIND…It’s called that for a reason. Btw, there have been a multitude of Whitney Houston bios since her unfortunate passing, another bio added to the mix isn’t headlining news. TGJ is so “old and dated”, yet here you are, the first commenter on a post of this “old and dated” site. ?? Child…
they talk about Elvis for years…….and the Beatles They should do a bio on Whitney without Bobby Brown
Bey, Tina, DC, Monica ?? ❤❤❤

Just in case others haven’t watched it
I loved “Survivor” performance. Bee killed it. Alicia Keys slayed “Fallin” and “A Woman’s Worth”. Tweet looked and sounded great while performing “Oops”. Too many to list.
That was my favorite show, one of the few ones I had access to.
