John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

The 6th chart hosted by Dandelion Radio, first broadcast on Christmas Day and repeated cyclically throughout January 2012.

Acts familiar to Peel listeners are the Fall, Low, Broadcast, Explosions In The Sky, Half Man Half Biscuit, Darren Hayman (Hefner), and PJ Harvey, one of only two acts to have more than one entry and making her début at number 1 twenty years after her first chart appearance.

The broadcast started with the DJs choosing some of their favourite tracks that failed to make the chart.
