Nostalgia Box: Top Of the Pops

The mythical program for music enthusiasts

By

Stars like Anastacia, Robbie Williams and Hilary Duff have troed this stage. Top of the Pops was the music program where Pop Stars discovered them. Originally from the UK, it was broadcast from 1964 to 2006 on the BBC. The program's historic acronym was an instrumental cover of the Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love. In Italy arrives in 2000, punctual every Saturday afternoon. To lead are Silvia Hsieh and Daniele Bossari. The format consists in presenting the ranking of the most sold discs, through the performance of the artists themselves, in the studio in front of a real audience. The hits are presented on stage when still unpublished or when already established and very popular in the music field. The afternoon time receives a discreet audience: the boys come back from school and are happy to watch the ranking of their favorite singers. The program competes in plays with transmissions the likes C'è posta per Te. Some of the names that we all certainly remember: Articolo 31, Caparezza, Blue, Tiziano Ferro and 883. In 2006, he listened to him down drastically. In addition the funds become insufficient and fail to fund the program. Four years later he returned to Rai 2, to lead Ivan Olita and Gaia Ranieri. In the 2011-2012 season, a few days after the episode, the show is cancelled. The reasons? Mysterious, reaffirm some authors.   Click HERE to discover the last Nostalgia Box episode.
