  1. This was the first TOTP show to scale down to a Top 20 rundown only, so the first time I can ever remember TOTP without a Top 30 or Top 40 rundown, as since the 1970s at least, there has always been a Top 30 rundown as a minimum.

    Also a new playout style to the show, with the end-credits having their own black background against the No.1 single closing out the show.
