Which Decade Is Tops For Pops?

Which Decade Is Tops For Pops?

Written by: Mike Atkinson
Listen for free

Each episode, we look at six hit singles that were in the same position in the UK Top 10 exactly ten years apart, from the 1960s through to the 2010s. We talk about them, you vote for them, and points are awarded to the decades which they represent. As the episodes roll on, the votes roll in, and the points stack up, which decade will ultimately emerge as Tops For Pops?
