Axed music show makes TV comeback

TV bosses have changed their minds and decided there WILL be a Christmas Top of the Pops this year after all.

Until it was axed in 2006, Top of the Pops used to be THE show to watch to see your favourite bands perform and find out who was top of the charts.

They kept the Christmas edition of the show, but earlier this year said they were going to scrap that too.

But loads of pop stars weren't happy and campaigned to bring the show back and it looks like they've won!

Should there be a weekly TV charts show?

There will be two special editions of the show - Top of the Pops Christmas Special and Top of the Pops New Year's Eve Special.

Both will be presented by Radio 1's chart show presenters Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates, who said they were "beyond excited" about it all.

Fearne added: "Reggie and I feel truly honoured to be able to introduce this year's number one - both shows are going to be huge!"

No return

A couple of weeks ago X Factor star Simon Cowell said he wanted to buy the show from the BBC and put it on ITV.

But the BBC says the show isn't up for sale and won't be returning for a regular series.

"This does not signal the return of Top of the Pops," a spokesman said.
