KMEN British Pop Top Ten

The KMEN British Pop Top Ten (sometimes was known as K/MEN British Pop Ten) was a feature on Peel's shows on KMEN (John Ravencroft as he was known on the station) between February 1966 and February 1967 on every Saturday. It is not currently known whether Peel played all the songs in the top ten on his show or a few of the songs or only counted them down. The KMEN British Pop Top Ten doesn't seem to based on the charts by the Record Retailer, which was used by the official UK Singles Chart, but instead probably based on the NME charts. Peel may have had copies of the NME sent from the UK to America, when doing the charts. Peel later claimed he manipulated the charts to include favourite records of his own - although available KMEN charts provide little evidence of this until July 1966, when "Making Time" by Creation which failed to enter the UK Top 40 singles chart was featured in the listing.

The British Pop Ten Charts were also published along with other charts on KMEN's weekly radio newspaper called the Kmentertainer.
