HRB has revealed its Top 100 Most Requested Artists Ever in a
live 7 hour show.
Presenter Neil Ogden was joined by 3 ex-members of the station
for the annual countdown which is compiled from requests and dedications
collected since HRB went on the air on 11 January 1984.
David Blower was a member for nearly 20 years until 1996 (he
joined HRB's predecessor CMMR in 1977) and returned to predsent the first part
of the top 100.
The presenter of HRB's first show in 1984, Steve Fox, joined
Neil to co-present the following 2 hours, and Sarah Beattie, a member from 2003
until 2006, but who still helps out from time to time continued the countdown
and David, Sarah and Steve joined Neil for the final countdown just before Cliff
Richard was revealed as still the number 1.
The chart is compiled annually and broadcast each January
around the time of the station's birthday.
