Shhh! It’s time for the bFM Top Ten again! The biggest songs of the nation counted down by your hosts Annabel and Callum. Enormous show this week. First, Jon phoned in to make his first (sort of) successful prediction as our resident chart analyst, then we heard your thoughts about WHISPERING, we learnt about the famous whiskey Bog Monster.... and Annabel told a “joke”.
It’s the year 2021 and the bFM Top Ten is BACK with a brand new attitude, counting down the ten biggest songs in the world on your Wednesday night. Highlights include some welcome predictions for the year from resident chart analyst Jon Pearce; we dug through our own personal histories with “having fun” in The People’s Pulpit; and we were introduced to a couple underdogs of the whiskey world in Whiskey Business… all without breaking a sweat.
