Oh, that’s bad! No, that’s good! If you know your 80s dancefloor bangers, you’ll recognise that S-Express vocal insert and will already be donning your sparkly bellbottoms, possibly even getting right-on one (matey) beca
Swing it, shake it, move it, make it! …is exactly what the nation was doing in 1997. Yes, that’s right, Channel 5 was here and fiddling with that aerial to try and get a reception to see The Jack Docherty Show was what w
Welcome back to 1987! The decade of decadence, extravagance, elegance and other words that end in -nce was powering its way towards the later end of its cultural tenure. And whilst there is no doubt that perceived wisdom
How do you begin to describe 1992? Well, Her Majesty called it her Annus horribilis , for a number of reasons. Quite possibly including the three weeks Boyz II Men spent at number one, possibly not. But whatever the reas

Welcome to a special festive episode of Back to Now. We first revisited Now - The Christmas Album in 2020. You remember 2020, don’t you? It was a Christmas that needed some light to overpower some rather dark shade
Gonna use my…imagination. 1980 saw the UK chart taking some incredible leaps forward into the new decade. As the 1970s biggest superstars, Pink Floyd, stepped aside as the last chart topper of that decade and ushered in
Welcome to the 21st Century! Or did you call it Y2K? And if so, can I ask WHY? Yes, pop fans and curators of variously compiled pop, we had survived the End of the Century. The millennium bug turned out to be nowhere nea
Is this the way they say the future’s meant to be? It’s November 1995. Pop was pulling in many different directions. But predominantly, it was swaggering its way towards the end of the century in a confident, Union Jack
It’s the end, the end of the Seventies. It was a decade that had started with Edison Lighthouse and ended with Another Brick in the wall. After 221 number one singles, the decade that had given us everything from Bowie t
Poor old Johnnie Ray. Actually, I wonder what the heart wrenching vocal superstar of the fifties made of his starring role in the biggest selling single of 1982, thirty years after his own chart topping run? Did anyone e
Wake up, it’s a beautiful morning! It’s the spring of 1995. That most eclectic of decades, the nineties if you will, was no longer the new kid on the millennial block. Pop culture has boxed up the eighties for another da
2002. The pop culture landscape would never be the same again. No, we’re not talking about Robbie Williams £80m, six album deal (although Rudebox would indeed shift the landscape, if not exactly many copies). We’re
Can You Feel It? It’s July, 1989 and the temperature is hot! Actually, for a lot of the UK it surprisingly was, but let’s leave meteorological memories aside, we’re talking the dancefloor. The country, the WHOLE na
