Top 11 no less as seen on Ceefax 30 years ago today.

Fancy seeing what was in the top 11 pop charts as seen on Ceefax 30 years ago #OnThisDay back in 1996.

Take That was number 1 with How Deep Is Your Love which saw Oasis Don't Look Back In Anger about the chart position at 2.

🟩 TELETEXT | On This Day 1990 | ORACLE asks for the public's help to save its ITV and C4 service from closure. Commercial teletext wasn't catered for in the new Broadcasting Bill.

Some disparaging remarks about Ceefax!

I've just turned on Ceefax to see what was on the charts from this week in 1997 and see No Doubt was number 1 with Don't Speak.
