I guess no one beats Pulp here, right? Formed in 1978, debuted in 1983, hit the charts for the first time in 1994.

after this let's do the biggest age differential between the oldest and youngest members of all the bands who appeared on top of the pops between may 1982 and october 1988

I would imagine that there are probably some songs that were recorded by bands that have long since split up, which are then used in a advert or film and become hits.

I suppose on example would be the 5,6,7,8s - they formed in 1986 and their first UK hit wasn't until 2003 with 'Woo Hoo' after Kill Bill. They might have had hits in Japan before, however, and I@m sure there are some better examples.

Every band I've been in for 30 years now. Why do you think everyone "charts"? Sickening.
