Playlist

Two performers fast-forward through all the million-selling songs in UK history. Misheard lyrics, dodgy cover versions and absurd dance routines combine as we face the music we’ve all rushed out to buy, but also reimagine and poke fun at it.

Expect the icons, one hit wonders, anthems and earworms that have soundtracked our lives; it’s the nation’s mixtape, 70 years in the making.

Somewhere between a sketch show, dance performance, Top of the Pops and an episode of Stars in Their Eyes, Playlist rewinds to ask what we can learn from the tunes that have brought us together, as well as wondering if there will ever be another million seller, or if personalised playlists spell the end of pop as we know it.
