On This Month - It's Still #1, It's BBC Top of the Pops

 It was during this month 57 YEARS AGO that BBC's iconic music video countdown series Top of the Pops first braced onto our screens.

Most BBC fans remember this today because of the hosting talents of such stars as Reggie Yatts, Jimmy Saville and Fearne Cotton. The song rankings for the series were based on the UK Singles Charts rundown.

Despite getting two unneccessary ripoffs from the Tweenies, the latter being banned from the airwaves because of the characters ripping off late TOTP host Jimmy Saville back in January 2013, TOTP has still shown no signs of being a great show and delivering the hottest music tracks in history.

Here's the countdown from the SERIES FINALE of Top of the Pops which originally aired on BBC1 and BBC2 on July 30, 2006
#01 HIPS DON'T LIE - Shakira ft. Wyclef Jean
#02 Ain't No Other Man - Christina Aguilera
#03 Unfaithful - Rihanna
#04 Smile - Lilly Allen
#05 You Give Me Something... - James Morrison
#06 Don't Stop Me Now! (QUEEN Cover) - McFly
#07 Get Together - Madonna
#08 Voodoo Child - Roguetraders
#09 The Empiree - Kazaban
#10 The Maneater - Nelly Furtado

Thanks to all the team of this show for continuing to make this series "still number one" after all these years.

RIP Jimmy Saville
