Trivia
Jamie Theakston interviews Steven Gateley, revealing Boyzone is number 1. Since Ronan Keating isn't present, their music video is played instead. Boyzone promise to perform in the studio next week.
After months of brand tweaks, a new TOTP rebrand debuts. New graphics, new opening titles and a revamped theme tune, “Whole Lotta Love” by Ben Chapman air for the first time.
