Prepare For A Chart Transplant...
So, notice anything different about me in the last few days? No? It's not the hair...or the shoes...or the clothes. I've not had a tattoo...or a boob job...Give up? That's right, it's the colours!
(Seriously, did anyone not get that? Scornflakes for you then).
So, ChartBlog has had a bit of a facelift and redecoration job done. Nice innit? And it's all in honour of the two huggy people over to the left of this page.
This Sunday, at 4pm Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates will be taking over the Radio 1 Chart Show, and it's a brave new dawn for all of us. I'm not even being sarcastic!
Now, apart from the chart run-down (some things never change, and with good reason), I expect you're wondering what fresh delights are on offer now that Fearne and Reggie are taking over the show? Well it wouldn't do to spoil the surprise, but I am offically allowed to tell you that Reggie has been looking into alternative methods of predicting chart entries, with varying degrees of success.
Oh, and helping to bring the first show to a succesful close will be Simon Cowell (he won't like it. Let's be honest), the Hoosiers (they won't keep still, Simon might have to tell them off), Kelly Osbourne (let's hope she doesn't leap in and defend the Hoosiers, that could get pretty nasty) and the Sugababes (fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!).
It's all kicking off at four.
In the meantime, here's the Radio 1 Chart page...

Oooh, Reggie is very cute.
What's Mark Goodier doing nowadays? I miss the times when the chart show had someone brilliantly talented on it no matter what was actually charting.
I remember when I used to listen to Mark Goodier on the top 40 countdown all the time every Sunday, I thought he was ace, he was fair and sounded very easy going. I remember him saying the usual 'Join me next Sunday' and the next Sunday I tuned there was someone different presenting and he never came back, I stopped listening to it after that checking every few weeks, but then I kinda realised he wasn't coming back, and I hated the new presenter. That was back in like early to mid 2006. Shame, I thought he was good, now I feel really outdated saying this. Things must have changed a lot now, I'm gonna have to get into gear again!
The new changes are good, and the colour theme kinda suites the season we are entering if you ask me.
I WANT JK AND JOEL BACK!!!! BOO HOO!! OH WELL THEN. I COULDN'T OF THOUGHT OF A BETTER REPLACEMENT FOR THE CHART SHOW. AT LEAST IT AIN'T SOME1 LIKE DICK AND DOM COS ON THE LIE IN AT 10 THEY STOPPED MC HAMMERS SONG CAN'T TOUCH THIS THREE TIMES. GOOD LUCK TO CHRIS MOYLES TOMORROW COS HE GOT AN EXTRA HALF HOUR. LIKE WHAT JAMESY SAID "The new changes are good, and the colour theme kinda suites the season we are entering if you ask me." I AGREE WITH WHAT JAMESY HAS SAID. REALLY I WANNA BE A RETRO CHIC AND CHEC KOUT MARK GOODYEAR'S SHOW. I RECORDED THE TOP TEN ON JK AND JOEL'S LAST SHOW. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. BOO HOO! OH THE TIMES.
LUV JES X-X-X
oh god, not fearne cotton! shes terrible at presenting anything on tv, but you cant have subtitles on the radio! shes dead common and i dont care what the teenyboppers love, a radio show like the chart countdown should be presented by someone who can talk. hey, why not ask jonathan ross while youre at it? maybe he has a 'speech problem', but at least he sounds more classy. jk and joel werent exactly of high standard, but at least they didnt make my ears bleed. i wont be listening to the chart countdown now. which really is a pity, cause reggie is a nice guy.
Would this be the same Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates who KILLED Top of the Pops!
I know that Radio 1 hates the POP, only being interested in the three people in a loft conversion in Bethnal Green who believe everything in the eNeMeE, but really, this is a step too far.
I will be taking my radiogram apart and physically removing the Radio 1 chip immediately!
A scandal and a disgrace.
[Come on, be fair, Mr H, it wasn't F&R who killed Top of the Pops. That was Andi Peters. - Fraser]
Nope, sorry, it was the curse of Cotton that killed it off. Possibly one of the most useless DJs / presenters in a long line of useless DJs / presenters, only the inane gurning of Yates (who seemed just as surprised as the viewers that he ever managed to blag a job) saved her impersonation of a wooden box from being the low point of ToTP.
I had hoped that her punishement was 'Celebrity' Love Island and that bloody awful dating show, but looks like the Beeb are continuing to punish the public for crimes undisclosed.
Why what did Andi Peters have to do with it?????
[, everything from All New Top Of the Pops is when Andi was the Executive Producer of the show. - Fraser]
