Pop Charts Britannia: 60 Years of the Top 10

Chronicling our ever-changing love affair with the British singles chart on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. From the first `NME' chart in 1952, via `Pick' and `Top of the Pops' to home-taping the `Radio One' chart show and beyond, we have measured out our lives to a wonderful churn of pop driven, unbeknownst to us, by a clandestine world of music biz hustle.
