It's great to see the repeats of the Chart Show on the Vault. It was one of my fave tv programmes of all time.

My fave era was the fairground years, the visuals were great, the indie chart 'carousel', the dance chart 'dodgems' and the rock chart 'ghost train'.

You'd see videos you wouldn't see anywhere else on tv. I remember seeing 'Wrote for luck' by Happy Mondays on the indie chart and starting to become interested in indie music.

I was such a big fan of the Chart Show that i even wrote down each week's specialist chart (starting from 1991) and have kept them to this day.

Someone already has- look 8 posts above yours ;)

Another interesting thing is the Jimmy Nail video taken from this episode used to be on YouTube- don't think it's on there any more though.
 
When i watched the Chart Show last year on the Vault, it got me buying albums from many of the artists featured. So seeing these clips hopefully can only help to exposure older music acts to a wider audience and as a result increase sales.
 
I suppose in the 90's there were more videos to show but only an hour to show them as there were times around 1997 when you get 20 new entries a week in the Top 40 a week whereas in the 80's the charts were similar to now where songs stuck around and you only had a few big new releases to show each week.
 
Just watched the midnight repeat of today's edition, and was again a bit underwhelmed as I only enjoyed one of the songs played - Looking For Love by Karen Ramirez.

Fortunately, I made up for it by watching a couple of the older editions which James has uploaded to YouTube; it'd be great if you've got any more you're able to upload, as they were very enjoyable to watch.
 
I guess a way of showing those episodes without the Twix sponsors would be to use the 1991-1993 titles instead as most of the stings from the December 1991 relaunch were kept until 1996.

I can remember being rather surprised when the show relaunched in May 1996 and the announcer said that the Chart Show was celebrating it's 10th anniversary unaware that it used to be on Channel 4!
Everything became a bit more clear when the Guide supplement in the Guardian had an feature going behind the scenes which I think had brief interviews with Keith Macmillan and Phil Davey.
