The Roxy - Episode 19 (October 13, 1987)

Описание: From the producers of Channel 4's "The Tube" comes what is supposed to be ITV's answer to "Top of the Pops". It's the hottest nightclub on the telly, The Roxy! Presented by David "Kid" Jensen and Kevin Sharkey, this series used a weekly chart distributed by Satellite Media Services, produced by Capital Radio and compiled by the Media Research Information Bureau (MRIB). You could hear "Kid" count them down every Sunday afternoon from 5pm, in competition with BBC Radio 1's own chart show.

Telling you right now, if "Pump Up The Volume" ever gets flagged by YouTube, I'll let them cut it out. Sorry, guys. Copyright is a thing.

Studio Performances:
Terence Trent D'Arby - "Dance Little Sister" [#24]
Ray Parker Jr. - "I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone" [#36]
UB40 - "Maybe Tomorrow" [#33]
Was (Not Was) - "Walk the Dinosaur" [#28]
Bryan Ferry - "The Right Stuff" [#34]

Videos:
Bee Gees - "You Win Again" [#2]
M/A/R/R/S - "Pump Up the Volume" [#1 fourth week, surprisingly, the video didn't get flagged; but if it should in the future, I will cut it]
Billy Idol - "Mony Mony" [#25]


Notes:
"Britain's most accurate hit music survey"?
First half of the show, we have three performances outside the Top 20. If you're going to have a Top 20, don't you think you ought to get acts within the Top 20? Either that, or expand to the Top 40.
One "up and comer"/"preview" is OK, but going down to #75 is ridiculous.
A Saturday broadcast.
