Each episode, we look at six hit singles that were in the same position in the UK Top 10 exactly ten years apart, from the 1960s through to the 2010s.

As the episodes roll on, the votes roll in, and the points stack up, which decade will ultimately emerge as Tops For Pops? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
