Top of the Pops (TOTP) - British television music program, which was published on the BBC and aired in many countries. TOTP, a sort of TV version of the national hit parade published weekly from January 1, 1964 to July 30, 2006. Despite the fact that the show is officially closed, it continues to exist in the Christmas version. Program Top of the Pops first aired on the day of the New 1964 and was broadcast from Studio A on Dickenson Road in Longsal, Manchester, which BBC has bought the company Mancunian Films in 1954. In the first edition of TOTP, who led the Jimmy Saville, made by The Rolling Stones («I Wanna Be Your Man»), Dusty Springfield («I Only Want to be With You»), Dave Clark Five («Glad All Over»), The Hollies («Stay»), The Swinging Blue Jeans («The Hippy Hippy Shake») and The Beatles («I Want to Hold Your Hand» - charttopper weeks).
Top of the Pops was the predecessor to MTV in music videos. In order not to come every week to the shooting, the group recorded many bright, catchy commercials, increasing their chances of success in the hit parade. The Beatles with rollers for «Strawberry Fields Forever», «Rain», «Paperback Writer» and «Penny Lane» regarded as trendsetters in the music television in 1960. Clips for the Top of the Pops filming The Kinks («Dead End Sreet», 1966), David Bowie («Space Oddity», 1969), Small Faces and other bands and artists 1960. In 1970 they were joined by Queen, Black Sabbath. In the early 70-ies in TOTP emerged dance troupe (first - Pan's People, and then Ruby Flipper, Legs & Co., Zoo), who sang "dance version" of hit singles in the event that the Executive for any reason, was in the studio and did not provide the video. Shaw has been constantly undergoing changes in design, style and many of the details, always remaining contemporary. It was closely linked with BBC Radio 1 and almost always it was the leading radio DJs of the channel (the only exception being the period from October 1991 to January 1994). In mid-1990's, when the program's popularity waned, it was intended to revive the producer of BBC Radio 1 Rick Blacksill (born Ric Blaxill). He went to a radical change: every week as the lead began to invite celebrities. Among those who led the program, were Kylie Minogue, 2 Unlimited, Chris Evans, Chris Ewbank, Damon Albarn and Jarvis Cocker. Throughout the history of TOTP operated strict rules. Thus, the single could not get in here if he has already sunk in the charts. These rules were repealed in the mid 1990's - because of the changing nature of the British charts ("klaymbery" in the charts were rare: usually single, debuted at the highest position and then sank).
In November 2003, TOTP has undergone the most radical changes in its history: these were included the singles, not yet included in the charts, as well as interviews with musicians. But a year later, after a number of audience of the program fell below three million, it was moved to BBC 2. July 30, 2006 Top of the Pops was broadcast last time: it led Edith Bowman.
