Top 40' radio programme.

For A:
Every Sunday afternoon at five o'clock the new singles chart is released on Radio 1st 'Top 40' programme. Radios in Britain and Europe are switched on to hear the latest news about pop music. The 'Top 40' is broadcast live on Radio 1st and it is Europe's the most popular programme. The chart is produced by Gallup Chart Services. How is it done?
Well, first records are recorded. They are released and each record is given a code number. Then copies of the records are sent to shops. When the records are bought, their code numbers are recorded in the shop's computer. Then this information is sent to the central computer. The information is sorted and the Top 40' chart is produced. Then the chart is sent to the radio station and the programme is written by the producer and the D.J. Finally the programme is broadcast on Sunday afternoon.
