TOTP had by 1997 ripped up the traditional TOTP rulebook, and started showing songs dropping down the charts, even those having already been at No.1, so I guess the show was changing to one where the producers were just showing songs that they liked, rather than keeping to the traditional format, to keep as many upcoming groups with a chance of getting onto the show, but clearly no longer.
