  1. Did anyone notice that Jayne Middlemiss was simultaneously on tonight at the same time on BBC1 on The One Show as middle-aged guest talking about her recent pilgrimage, and BBC4 on the TOTP 23-07-99 episode as young presenter. Good Lord!

    Further down the chart, and Moby had a new entry and peak position of No.38 this week with Bodyrock, and Def Leppard were back in the charts with a new entry and peak position of No.41 with Promises.
