From the Tuesday No 1 reveal to Sunday’s Top 20 rundown, from Blur v Oasis to the glory days of Christmas No 1s: Guardian readers share their relationship with the charts
I grew up listening to Radio 1 – especially the Sunday evening charts, whose results would be discussed with friends at school the next day. My earliest memory is of listening to the charts with my mum in the early 70s, when I fell in love with music by the Bay City Rollers, the Osmonds, David Cassidy and Motown music in all its entirety. Now, as a Radio 2 listener, I don’t always know what’s top of the charts, or always care, but still have a love of music and can’t go a day without listening to it.
