1973 highlighted the peak of glam rock's theatricality and the growing diversity of genres in the charts. Pop ballads continued to dominate, soul music made a strong impact, while rock bands continued to influence the broader music landscape. Changes were also afoot at TOTP, with the show celebrating it's 10th birthday, and its 500th episode with a new brand on-screen logo, which over 50 years later, is still seen as "THE" TOTP logo.
