No matter how quick you were with your finger hovered over the pause button, the DJ's always started blabbing before the end of the record. Then when you were rewinding to cut them out, they started playing the next one you wanted to record.

Re: UK singles chart.
Wasn't it always annoying when you were trying to record the latest singles off the radio onto your tape machine.

I just wonder that it's simpler these days to consider Saturdays are the standard throughout. After all, it's nearly thirty years since they went to Saturdays.
These days I find I'm not bothered when the weekly pop charts come out.
But the introduction of decimal currency is something which still displeases me, and don't get me started on Division 1 being renamed the Premier League.

Try telling the Beatles that!
There wasn't any one universally accepted definitive chart in the 60s. There were several competing charts and there's been much controversy caused by subsequently taking one of these chart listings and calling it 'official'. A Beatles fan will assure you that Please Please Me was their first No. 1 hit and it was in most of the charts. However, the Official Chart uses a chart (Record Retailer) which happened to put it at No. 2.
