From 29 August 1998 onwards, The Chart Show was dropped and replaced by CD:UK, which ran until 2006.
[1] The "pop-up" information snippets were represented as "windows" in a mock-up graphical user interface called HUD.
The look of the icons was updated on the move to ITV on 7 January 1989, and again upon the show's relaunch on 7 December 1991 as part of a competition prize from Amiga Computing magazine.
One such late night repeat on 31 August 1997 was interrupted to report the breaking news of Diana, Princess of Wales' car accident.
The final episode on Channel 4 was a Review of 1988 special on 2 January 1989; the first edition on ITV aired 5 days later.
However, some later editions were shortened due to ITV buying rights to Formula One motor racing in 1997.
The last edition was shown on 22 August 1998, after being axed in favour of a live, performance-based show, CD:UK, which began the following week.
This fact was played up over the first few months of the show being made this way, with a "Live" graphic appearing at the beginning of each part, in addition to the interactive Battle of the Bands segment.
Both of these were dropped after a minor revamp in 1997, although live phone-in competitions continued to appear occasionally until the end of the show's run.
In the early years, the problem was solved by showing a photo of the artist over a short excerpt from the song.
In its first week at number one on the Top Ten, a photo of Catherine Quinol, believed at the time to be the band's vocalist, was shown over a short excerpt from the single.
In its first week at number one on the Rock Chart which aired on 17 September 1994, slowed-down clips of Keep the Faith were shown.
This was number one on 15 August 1998 edition of the show and, similarly to Ride on Time, the music video wasn't completed until several months later.
One notable example was Pearl Jam: From 1993 to 1997, Pearl Jam refused to make promo videos for their singles, and so The Chart Show often used footage from the band's "Even Flow" video to accompany a few seconds of their singles from that time, whenever they appeared on the Rock Chart.
When Tizer became the new sponsor, the stings caused criticism as they were played at random moments during the titles and end credits, interrupting the show deliberately.
As part of 'The Vault' repeats, the sponsorships are now either blurred or edited out of the title sequences/end credits to avoid controversy.
Satellite channel The Vault began repeating 1991–92 and 1996–97 episodes from December 2006 on Saturday mornings, similar to the shows original timeslot on ITV, though not in chronological order.
On several occasions, episodes were cut off abruptly to unplanned commercial breaks and blank screens, and some airings were accidentally ones that had already been shown on The Vault's run of the show.
One scheduled episode failed to air completely and was replaced with another programme, which led to a double bill being shown the following weekend.
On 17 January 2009, a scheduled episode of the show failed to air for unknown reasons, and a regular run of music videos took its place.
