3/2/2024 0 Comments Color badd![]() It must be the US chart mustn’t it? I think a bit of behind the scenes negotiating between the BBC and the band’s record company must have been afoot. So it wasn’t in the American charts nor was it in ours? What’s that Claudia? It’s No 6 on the Top 100? What the hell does that mean? The US album chart? The graphic in the corner of the screen just had an American flag and the No 6. ![]() Yes, the lower regions, so low it didn’t actually make our Top 40 peeking at No 58. It seems to only feature in the lower regions of the chart in New Zealand, the Netherlands and this country. ![]() This time it’s the turn of the US charts which is why Color Me Badd are on the show except…as far as I can tell this track “ Heartbreaker” wasn’t released as a single in the US. Well, it’s all to do with what I was talking about earlier and those new sections. Now if like me you thought this lot’s rise to fame and subsequent descent to the wilderness all happened within the calendar year 1991, then also like me, you’ll be wondering what the hell they are doing on TOTP in 1992. The opening act tonight are…WTF?! It’s those talentless bozos Color Me Badd. There are only three studio performances and the three of the nine acts on tonight are just the Breakers which have been moved back to that incongruous position just before the No 1. Tonight’s show has tinkered with the formula rather. To be fair, Tony Dortie and his silly urban yoof slang has grown on me and he seems to be a decent fellow who tweets along to the repeats with good humour. It’s not that I think they were terrible – heaven knows that the old guard of Radio 1 DJs have prompted reams of ire from me during these TOTP posts – it’s just that they didn’t seem to add anything other than youthful over enthusiasm which in the case of some resulted in a lot of shouting of links (yes I’m looking specifically at you Claudia Simon). The on stage interviews of the artists from the early weeks has been ditched thankfully (they were excruciating and pointless) but the new sections such as the ‘exclusive’ showing of new videos and the US charts seem shoehorned in for the sake of it.Īnd then there’s the presenters. The relegation of the chart rundown to just the Top 10 (with no voice over initially) seems to have been just for the sake of drawing a line under the old format and the studio set up with the audience visible running in between stages seems chaotic. The live vocal policy has just found people out rather than given the performances an extra edge. I have to say that I can’t think of anything that’s been introduced that’s improved the show. That means it’s been four whole months since the new, ‘year zero’ revamp of the show. It was their final top 20 single on the Hot 100.We’ve missed another show due to Adrian Rose’s still unexplained refusal to sign the repeat waiver for the TOTP episodes on which he presented and so we arrive in the middle of February, 24 hours before Valentine’s Day. The song peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992. It is also included on the group's remix album Young, Gifted & Badd. The song was released on Novemas the soundtrack's seventh and final single by Perspective Records. The song was written and produced by the group along with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and it appears on the soundtrack to the film Mo' Money.
