What happened to TOTP moving to Sunday? with the number one single being played on Radio 1 and shown on TV at the same time (presumably)? i've always quite liked this idea personally, not that it's really going to save anything

This show needs someone fairly knowledgeable (i mean fairly.. Not even slightly extensive)i say stick with the random guest presenters. i don't know why the people in charge think it's better to have a fixed choice - HIGNFY and indeed Top Of The Pops are two shows that benefitted very well imo from having a different presenter every week. this would give the chart show some unpredictable fun spark, with people listening to the charts because it's the charts, not because of who is presenting it (please learn, Radio 1 and others).

In some odd way I am glad that "Heartbeat" was spared the ignominy of being mentioned by JK and Joel. It feels very apt that this shower of shit is marked by Annie missing the top 40, and the Stereophonics heading it.

BBC Radio 1 is moving its chart show to Friday afternoons, where it will become part of Greg James's drivetime show.
"The days of recording your favourite songs from the chart onto cassette are long gone," said Radio 1 controller Ben Cooper.
"So when the global release date changes to a Friday, we will also move the Official Chart, continuing our commitment to stay relevant to young music fans of today".
A chart countdown has been part of Radio 1's Sunday schedule for nearly 50 years, starting with Alan Freeman's Pick Of The Pops, in 1967.
Until 1987, the new chart was actually announced on a Tuesday, and the following Sunday's show just played the countdown in full. From 1987, however, improved technology enabled the station to receive the week's chart data in time to announce the new number one on the three-hour Sunday show.
Cooper confirmed the new show would be an hour shorter than the current incarnation, airing from 16:00 to 18:00 GMT, allowing the Dance Anthems slot to remain on the schedule.
"That means we will not be playing every single record in the Top 40," he said. "We will be a little bit more choosy about the records we play in those two hours."
