Tuesday #popmaster 30 / 27 / 2 OMD

Monday #popmaster 27 / 21 / 2 Rose Royce

S Club & Nickleback, 1984? Immediate disqualification. #popmaster

I'm not a fan of this whole "number 1 as the penultimate song" thing. You end on Number 1, that's the whole fucking point. #totp

Are the Waves going to be on *EVERY* week? Cos you know when you win it lasts the whole year, right? #totp

Do Lardy Boy #totp

IT'S THE SAME FUCKING SONG, NO MERCY #totp

Are we THAT short of stuff that after number 1 we play *last week's* number 1? While Eels are in the Top 10? #totp

Mary J BILGE #totp

Damage's bit on "Boybands Forever" is very telling. "People don't want black faces on magazine covers". What a time. #totp

Aww, Sinead. Dull song but bless her troubled soul. 💔 #totp

For those wondering, North and South were a fictional band from a kids' show called "No Sweat". To avoid confusion in series 2 they played the same characters but reverted to their real names. #totp

Blimey, North and South. Borne out of a kids' TV show. #totp

Friday #popmaster 30 / 30 / 1 Kim Wilde. Yes, that one.

Yes man #theapprentice

SHE HAS TO GO #theapprentice

Well that seemed to pass without incident. How boring #eelive

Tuesday #popmaster 21 / 30 / 3 Bee Gees

Monday #popmaster 27 / 30 / 1 Prefab Sprout (Anyone notice he called Richard Ken? 😂)

Bosh #maskedsingeruk

Gregory Porter Samantha Barks Marti Pellow #maskedsingeruk

Dressed Crab just sounds like Isaac Hayes but he's long gone.... #maskedsingeruk

#thelastleg final tweet should be #wasthatok. I'd tell them over there but I'm not re-installing that fucking app.

Some people called 911 "Nine Eleven". Til 9/11 happened. #totp

Apropos of nothing at all, honest, Mark and Lard are presenting again next week #totp

The fucking Seahorses. Yes yes yes. #totp

Oh great, Katrina again. Not heard this for three minutes. #totp

Love Shine a Light's a bit of an anthem. What we saying, top 10 at Eurovision? I mean obviously we won't win or anything... #totp

We've skipped three weeks cos of R Kelly. Anyway here's Michael Jackson... #totp

Saffron's not miming AND sounds great. Can be done, see. #totp

No recollection of this Kenickie song and no recollection of Lauren EVER not doing lead vocals #totp

I do like early Robbie tracks. Old Before I Die is alright but it's no Lazy Days #totp

"This is an Election broadcast by New Labour" #totp

The only way to really keep tabs on the 30 seconds in #popmaster is using the countdown from Countdown.

I wish #CelebrityBearHunt was on linear TV so we could all agree at the same time that Kola's a dick

If you're not confident of music trivia *since 2000* then I'd warn you away from #popmaster. That's a quarter-century of pop music you're discounting.

Wednesday #popmaster 27 / 27 / 3 Cranberries. And I'd like to say hello to everyone I've ever met in my life. One by one.

Monday #popmaster 33 / 30 / many Queen

...and R Kelly did get to number 1, which is why we're skipping a load more episodes. #totp

The sheer brass neck of the Charlatans for singing this song in front of the Shirehorses, who they nicked it from in the first place. Ooo-arrrr! #totp

You know Mark and Lard have gone into a soundproof booth while this shite is on #totp

Mark and Lard klaxon #totp

We've skipped a week cos of R Kelly, then we're skipping about 3 more weeks for the same reason #totp

"Girls, we're doing a particularly bland episode this week, can you do Mama rather than the Comic Relief one?" #totp

Louis Walsh is a cunt, pass it on #totp

Do My Lovely Horse. Actually, Everybody Knows is a really lovely song. #totp

"Ooh Aah Just a Little Bit More." #totp
