"Did Kevin Dunn direct this" ? I almost spat my coffee out 😂😂😂

35.55...thats the Great John Squire, of the Legendary Stone Roses. He formed The Seahorses after the Roses fell apart (and "The Seahorses" is an anagram of "He Hates Roses")

1:27:20 "Man, the music in the 2000s were dog sh*t!" As a 37 year old, who had to grow up with this music in the UK. I want to say thank you. This was torture for me as a teenager. I'm just glad I had an older brother and sister who was 10/15 years older to me. I could listen to their 80s music collection to keep me sane during this period.

So many boy/girl bands. The best part about them for me was the fact they always need to appear in a formation like they are an aeroplane display team. I am surprised none of them ever came on with smoke from their ankles.

The first song. I was a 911 fan Noah (posters on the wall), had all their tapes and cds. That’s Lee the guy singing first. He was 24 when this was recorded. I’m only on the first song on your reaction so I’ll see what other 90s pop songs make me hark back to my teenage years 😊

Dannii = Dannii Minogue = Kylie Minogue's sister. Her music career never quite reached the heights of her sister's.

The host on the first episode was cool-at-the-time DJ Mary-Anne Hobbes, she used to present a late night show on BBC Radio 1 called the Breeze Block, that's what she had written on her stomach. Not sure where she is now, the BBC probably pensioned her off as soon as she hit 30. I did like her comment about Puff Daddy being the hardest working karaoke machine in show business! Good British sarcasm. I doubt she would have said it if he'd been there!😅

By the time the millennium era (1999 - 2001) rolled around I had already given up on mainstream pop music. These three episodes of TOTP are a clear indication as to why. What a racket, especially the stuff featured in the 2000 episode.

Linkin Park have never had a UK #1 or even a Top 5 hit I'm afraid. What I've Done got to #6 in 2007 In the End made it to #8 in 2001 Points of Authority to #9 in 2002 and Somewhere I Belong {2003} and We Made It {Busta Rhymes Featuring Linkin Park 2008} both got to #10. Limp Bizkit's Take A Look Around {theme from MI:II} got to #3 in July 2000 and Rollin' was a chart topper in Jan 01 before My Way got to #6 in June 2001 and Eat You Alive got to #10 in 03.

Seeing your reaction to certain moments are priceless.

Loving these reactions to top of the pops as you/us discover songs that you/us know or never heard of before

I used to really enjoy The Charlatans. Hadn't heard that particular song in FOREVER. They're a very underrated Brit Pop band, in my opinion. North Country Boy is still a BANGER.

Sheryl Crow's Bond theme was chosen last moment as wanted someone more popular than KD Lang who recorded 'Surrender' that was meant to be the theme (it's on the closing titles at least and far better song IMHO).

Most indie boys had that mid 60's beatles haircut back in the 90's and some still do. Tim Burgess is rocking a blonde pudding bowl hairdo at the moment :)

48 mins - 'This is one for the toilet' when presenting her with an award. Sounded like a compliment 🤣

I went to TOTP twice in 98. I see All Saints, Savage Garden and best by far was a young Christina Aguilera with Genie in a bottle

Tim Burgess of the Charlatans was 30 at the time of recording, but yeah, he's always had a babyface!

Fun fact about Scooch the 2 male members starred in a reality show Boys will be girls. Where 3 male popstars tried to pass themselves off as a genuine girl band

42:51 Robbie Williams the only one who actually sang live , they always made people mime, I believe queen was the first to refuse to mime on it

As one from that era, always sobering to think that The Charlatans biggest hit was 7 years before this…

That was Dannii Minogue, sister of Kylie. You think her sister would make sure she had a decent songwriter...

Ahhh this reaction was amazing!!! Three episodes from my favourite era of music, the 2000 episode was in my opinion, POPTASTIC, hence why I chose it, but it's a shame you didn't feel the same way :( I'm probs in the minority that likes Bound 4 Da Reload but that performance was weird af. It’s definitely a club song that doesn’t translate well to a live performance in my opinion. I had a feeling you wouldn’t like the song though. It samples the theme tune for the British medical drama Casualty (started in 1986 and still going to this day), the “can everyone stop getting shot!!!” dialogue comes from the 1998 film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. (Also, I found it funny that before the performance the host mentioned the Teletubbies being number one, like you had JUST seen that episode prior) Britney’s single hadn’t actually charted yet, at the beginning of the performance when the graphics come on it says “NEW” where the chart position is, indicating it’s a new release. Also it sounded like to me she was singing the verses live but lipsynching the chorus. Mandy Moore has definitely had a more successful acting career, but she still releases music, she released an album last year. Scooch represented the UK in Eurovision 2007 with Flying the Flag (For You). Their name refers to a term used to ask someone to move up along a sofa, bench etc. October 1997 ep - the Dannii in question is Dannii Minogue, Kylie’s younger sister, I didn’t recognise her at first, I think it was the blonde hair lol I saw Aqua live at a festival in June and the crowd went wild for Barbie Girl, 911 performed at the same festival but I didn’t see them as they were on another day. December 1997 ep - Robbie Williams’ Angels takes me back to my uni days and during karaoke nights this song would ALWAYS play and everyone would drunkingly sing along to it lol The Five song was used in the 1999 Disney Channel film Smart House, you may have heard it there. Still one of the better British boybands in my opinion Oh and I loved the Teletubbies as a kid 😭

'Slam Dunk da Funk' is probably the song where you can most hear Sean (the guy with the almost-shaved head, iirc he was only about 16/17 when this was filmed. The 'if you got that feeling' part is all him and he's the main voice in the chorus); there's just 3 of them left now doing the 90s reunion concerts (Sean who I've mentioned, Scott who has the spiked hair, and Richie who has the very floppy hair). As for Britney, she was lip-synching a fair amount but you can hear parts where it sounds lower and different to the recording so I do think some of it was live.

I wonder if it’s worth reacting to a series called ‘Top Of The Pops: The Story Of...’, which features highlights of TOTP performances from certain years.

That 2000 episode must be the worst edition of all time. I really hope you soon watch from 70's and 80's so I can put those songs out of my mind

The last number one had the Casualty theme tune in it. which is a BBC hospital drama. Think Casualty should sue for using it 😂

at 1:20:12 Noah considered making a tik tok :)

The guy who sang first in that first song (Lee of 911) was married to Lindsay of Bewitched (the hottest one, imo.)

This Top of the Pops goes back to the year 2000,Bad touch,Bloodhound gang,That song came out in the year 2000

The charlatans are in my top 5 bands of all time love em and tims actually singing live there😊

Don’t forget not only did we have have teletubbies at no1 but bob the builder had a single and a whole album at no1 and another song at no2, then Tweenies was in the top10 a few times too There’s something wrong with our country

Remember watching the Mummy with Brendan Fraser not taking Imotep seriously because he reminded me of Rene from Aqua 🤣 EDIT: Bloody Hell forgot all about Lolly. but once I saw her face i remembered.. I was 15 at the time!

I forgot about 911!

in 2000 Craig David charted higher than Oasis! wtf kind drugs were you people taking!

My god, i remember most of this from my mid-teens. I kinda wish I didn't 😅

6th form flashbacks! Barbie Girl is still a Bop now!

People really have nostalgia specs for this, but looking back the sort of stuff made up the bulk of performances for TOTP , I really do wonder if we have lost all that much.... :D

Yeh they needed to up the mic sound on the hosts. I could hardly hear them either

My friends and I used to refer to that Janet Jackson song as Bridge Zone, as the chorus sounds so similar to the second level from Sonic 1 on the Master System/Game Gear! Also, was that final song the inspiration for 'Heart Monitor Riddem' from the series People Just do Nothing?? Because they're strangely similar...

Oh really enjoyed this so that last number 1 does the teletubbies get a higher rating :D. But hey to be fair I'm a 80's kid and 90's and early 00's the music I loved it, anything post 2005 was crap. Well most of it.. But anyways gonna go back and watch your other TOTP. And OMG All Saints you never heard of I loved them to. By the way If you ever watch Casualty the last song may spoil it for ya. :D

I suppose a couple of them could have been replaced by Beverley Knight singing Made it Back, Noah.

Wow this was great and in case u didn't know danni is danni Minogue Kylie Minogues sister 😅

The Charlatans were pretty big back in the day in the northern music "Madchester" scene. This is not one of their better songs, though.

I don’t think Linkin Park ever really popped off in the UK, like they’re known but jot huge- their highest uk single was Number 6

Just found your videos. Have you stopped watching TOTP?

the lead singer of the seahorses looks like MR BEAN

Five were one of the best boy bands of the 90s, in my opinion. They are still going but as a trio of the ones who were always more back-up...still called Five, which is a bit dumb. They were part of a 90s pop festival this past year and back in January it came to Tel Aviv where I live. It was them, Aqua, 2 Unlimited, Dr. Albarn and I think Sonique. I contemplated going for nostalgia purposes but I'd really only pay that sort of money if it was a full Five reunion and not the 3 of them who were never that important to the band in the first place.

lol is her mic low??? no one sings live on Top of the Pops They all mime

Christ that 2000 episode was cat sh*t! Awful pap after awful pap! How on earth that Oxide cack ended up at #1 is still a mystery to me! Things pick up a bit a year later somewhat when a bit more variety returns.

lol, what the fuck is this, i thought the same ha ha

Year 2000,The start of the new century,Same year I moved in to my first flat,Had my Job working at my old factory then,Also going clubbing a lot every weekend,Enjoying life to the full,Unlike now days,Cost of things gone through the roof,Music still quite good then as well,Unlike now days music is mostly rubbish now

Just finished the 1st episode yeah the Spice Girls were racist.

I enjoyed Slam dunk maybe a little more than I should have and I feel low key embarassed
