Re: 1976 Countdown Hosts

Here's one for the Top 80 shows they played over summer holidays 1977/1978. I didn't realise they played them on Tuesday nights.

Re: 1976 Countdown Hosts

80 songs in 55 minutes?

Re: 1976 Countdown Hosts

The Top 80's from early 1976 started on January 6th (Tuesday night) and ran for 5 weeks. So I guess they played 20 songs per show.

Ahh, now that makes more sense. Cheers.

(and to be picky, 80 songs over 5 weeks would be 16 songs per show, which would just about cram into 55 minutes given the average length of singles back then)

Re: 1976 Countdown Hosts

Oh yeah, maths is not my strongest. :blush: With each song going for three or four minutes (about standard), that makes sense.
