ADVANCE NOTICE!
In a similar fashion to the show that I presented back on March 1st., on Friday (3rd. of May) I will present the first part of the 2UW Fabulous Top Fifty chart as at 3rd. May 1959.
The Friday program will cover the first 30 of the Top Fifty and on the following Monday (6th. May) I will present the remaining twenty hits PLUS 2UW's ten best "Recent Releases" (i.e, just released that week and too soon to list in the Top Fifty) AND their "Up-And-Coming" top ten picks.
The full playlist will be published on the Wednesday or Thursday preceeding the program.
