Comments
* Tracks in italics are not played
* This was the very last complete 4 hour extravaganza, done as a full pre-record.
* From 2020 onwards, it will become a LIVE event, except for the 50-41 section will be presented as a teaser programme "The First Look" before the final 40 on the Saturday night.

Errata.....
* This broadcast places Yazoo's - Don't go at No.39 she was at 31 as 15 missing points were later found at No.66 ~ thus now corrected in all archives, No.1 to 30 unaffected

thus the start of the Festive 50 should have been like this

* **50=** *Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody/These Are The Days Of Our Lives*
* **50=** *Shakespears Sister - Stay*
* **50=** *Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock*
* **50=** Leylines - Sat In A Field
* **50=** Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
* **50=** *Willie Nelson - Always On My Mind*

...followed by what is below at No.49
