The broadcast in question is an edition of the chart‑show that aired on 24 June 1976, with David Hamilton acting as the presenter. Hamilton’s role is to guide viewers through the week’s musical rankings, and this particular episode follows the same structure as other instalments of the series. The programme showcases a selection of artists who were prominent on the charts at the time. Among those highlighted are the Real Thing, the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Johnny Nash, Art Garfunkel and Pilot. Each of these acts receives a segment in which Hamilton introduces their current chart position and provides brief commentary. In keeping with the format of the chart‑show, Hamilton moves smoothly from one entry to the next, linking the various performances and chart updates. The episode therefore offers a snapshot of the popular music landscape of late June 1976, with the listed performers representing a mix of soul, rock, reggae‑influenced pop and soft‑rock styles. The inclusion of these particular artists reflects the diversity of the chart at that moment, and Hamilton’s presentation ties the individual pieces together into a cohesive broadcast.
