1970, Television: “TopPop”

On 22 September 1970 the first TopPop episode was broadcast by the AVRO in the Netherlands. The program was weekly on the air from September 22, 1970 to June 27, 1988. The first episode was presented by Ad Visser, he hosted the series for fifteen years. The series was created by Rien van Wijk.

Penney de Jager and Ad Visser

The main goal was to let artists act their latest hit record in the TopPop studio. Foreign artists often performed on location or a promotional clip was used. When a promotional clip was not available the hit was played to a dance routine by Penney de Jager and her dancing group. Due to the high quality TopPop-made clips were sometimes chosen by artists as their promotional video. For example David Bowie with "Rebel Rebel".
