Top of the Pops is a British television music chart show produced by the BBC, first broadcast in 1964, featuring live or mimed performances by artists then placed in the UK singles chart. For decades it served as a central weekly fixture of British popular music culture, and an appearance on the show was widely regarded within the British music industry as a significant marker of chart success. The BBC ended its regular weekly run of the program in 2006, though occasional specials have continued since.
