Bottom of the pops
18-9-98: Presenter: Kate Thornton
(7) ALL SAINTS – Bootie Call
Tonight's show gets underway with last week's number one.
(14) AEROSMITH – I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing (via satellite)
Will peak at number 4.
(29) PULP – Party Hard
Here with the epic fourth and final single from their number one album, This Is Hardcore, but it got no higher.
(13) ALISHA’S ATTIC – The Incidentals
In the studio but got no higher.
(4) HONEYZ – Finally Found
A second studio performance and the song was now at its peak.
(3) BOYZONE – No Matter What
Yet another showing of the former number one.
(6) STEPS – One For Sorrow
A third time in the studio for the former number two.
(1) ROBBIE WILLIAMS – Millennium (and credits)
Here for just the one week at number one.
I wonder if we have the late night version of that show available anywhere (which featured Sex On The Beach by T-Spoon)
ReplyDeleteHopefully it shows up but if not - at least the performance is on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB4M45o6sW4
DeleteJust saw it on BBC4 being played when they repeated the show at 1am
DeleteShocker it was.
DeleteBBC4 did mention T-Spoon at the start of Kate Thornton’s link as well and unusually came on after Boyzone - in the late-night repeat and in a strange shock - no One for Sorrow for a fourth consecutive time in many weeks back-to-back…. It’ll will be included in a late-night showing next week.
Late night version replaced the OG version on iPlayer. Alternatively: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/d7f39a83-f189-4ce4-85eb-a05b6b69d921
Delete(Next version with differences is 23/10/98 - but that's just an extended music video - we'll see if they bother digging the tape out - though Theakston does promote it)
I didn't remember any late night versions. So I have just looked at the Radio Times archive and it was on Sun 20th Sep 1998, 00:25 on BBC Two England.
DeleteI have't watched it yet, did they at the time, mention the changed video?
