BBC 6 Music

Nah, you're correct.
Each year it was a ritual of buying TDK C120 tapes,
and,
being ready, with the finger on the record button as each section of the F50 was broadcast.

Here it is.

Both The Fall and The Smiths, and The Wedding Present for that matter,
had had too many tracks in the F50, splitting their voting, as the countdown approached the No.1

Part of the attraction of the F50 was it reminded you what had been featured through John Peel's shows, what you had enthused about, and what you had missed.

I can't remember if I had heard Sugarcubes Birthday before this show,
but,
Anne Nightingale then played it as frequently as The Waterboys Whole of the Moon.
