Every year around Christmas, HRB counts down its Most Requested Artists
Chart.
Regular presenters, Neil Ogden and Sarah Beattie present the
countdown, which
is compiled from requests and dedications collected since HRB went on the air in
1984.
In 2004, the show featured the top 75, and in 2005, it was the top 100.
In January 2007, it was the top 75 again with Cliff still there at the top.
In 2008, Neil and Sarah were joined by Steve Fox for the top
80.
For the chart broadcast on January 11 2009, Neil and
Sarah were joined by HRB's original presenter Steve Fox and, all the way from
Auckland New Zealand, Andy McCormick to celebrate HRB's 25th birthday..
In 2010, David Blower returned to join in and the chart was
expanded to include the top 100.
In 2011, we got ambitious - the top 100 with Neil, Sarah,
Steve, David and, live from Spain, Vernon Pearce. We decided to push the
boundaries of technology - and on the whole it worked really well.
