Top of the Pops: The Story of 1988

Taal: nld
Categorie: Rock, Pop

1988 - and while Top of the Pops celebrates its Silver Jubilee (that's 25 years, folks!), a new showrunner brings the show to an ever younger audience with lively new presenters - step forward Anthea Turner, Nicky Campbell et al.The charts are full of sparkling box-fresh pop stars, from tweenage heartthrobs Bros (cue the screaming!) to the boy and girl next door we shared teatime with every weekday - our favourite Neighbours Kylie and Jason. Stock, Aitken and Waterman have reached their zenith with wall-to-wall hits. In stark contrast to the hosts of wholesomeness, Transvision Vamp put the grrr into girl and those Wee Papa Girl Rappers give great dance hall ragga in a British spin on hip-hop. While pop reached a new purple phase, the older kids were out at Acid House parties, buying records that sent S'Express and Yazz with Cold Cut to the top of the charts - much to the bemusement and then alarm of the grown-ups.
