The Official Chart with Jameela Jamil, formally known as just The Official Chart is a long-running music radio programme on BBC Radio 1, airing on Sunday afternoons between 16:00 - 19:00. It airs the UK Singles Chart compiled by the Official Charts Company, and is hosted by Jameela Jamil. The format, length and starting time of the show have varied over the course of its run, but it has consistently ended broadcasting at 19:00. Radio 1 is the only station to broadcast the "official" UK singles chart.

Synopsis

From 15 March 1992 through 2 February 2003, the format was a countdown of the entire top 40 selling singles in the UK for that week, from 40 to the UK number 1. Since that date, the show has had a variety of different presenters in guest and permanent roles.

On 14 October 2007, Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates replaced JK & Joel as hosts of the Chart Show. Fearne Cotton became the first regular female presenter of the UK Top 40. Jo Whiley became the first female to present the UK Top 40 on 24 November 2002 (a week after Mark Goodier's departure from the show) as a string of one-off presenters each week until Scott Mills presented the UK Top 40 each week from 5 January 2003 until 2 February 2003. Wes Butters launched the Chart Show on 9 February 2003. After this date the Chart Show was known as The Official UK Top 40.

On 26 February 2012, a new look show started with the music videos of the top 10 singles aired live online from 6pm.

On 13 January 2013, Jameela Jamil took over presenting the show following Reggie Yates' departure from BBC Radio 1.[1]
