Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A U.K. music programme which ran on Channel 4 (1986–1988) and channel hopped to ITV (1989–1998). Whereas Top Of The Pops focused on songs within the Top 40 each week, The Chart Show served as an outlet for promotional videos across the board - whether the song/video had just been released or whether it was in the charts.Unlike other music programmes, The Chart Show had no presenters; computer graphics took their place. In particular, the show was notable for its use of mock VCR graphics, such as play, fast-foward, pause etc.Also, the show featured a number of genre-based charts and, in its early years, charts of the various method of song/video/artist distribution, such as album and compact disc.For those wanting a blast from the past.

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Though the direction of the arrows made it just as clear as to where the song had travelled in the charts; green represented climbers/new entries, red represented songs going down and orange represented non-movers. Between 1989-1991, when the show used the fairground graphics, the 'Coming Up' screens were in pink if the episode had a Dance Chart, purple for Rock and green for Indie. The exception to this was the 7th January 1989 edition.

Channel Name Change: From September 1989 - October 1994, "The Chart Show" was known as "ITV Chart Show" before reverting back to the original name. When episodes with "ITV" in the title were repeated on The Vault, the ITV logo was blurred out. The 'Heavy Metal Chart' from Channel 4 got renamed into the 'Rock Chart' on ITV. They're considered the same chart as they feature, more or less, the same artists.
