The Top 50 hasn't host to introduce the music videos, and it hasn't opening or ending credits. It only broadcasts the music videos in countdown without pause or commercials but a brief channel ident promo each 20-30 minutes. In addition, it shows titles (solo singer/music band, song name and album name) at the start and ending of each one, and its number in the countdown.
In the countdown there are featured two duets: Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder: Together in Electric Dreams (1984) and George Michael & Aretha Franklin: I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me) (1987).
Bananarama is featured twice in the countdown: Bananarama: Venus (1986) and Bananarama: Love in the First Degree (1987).
Pet Shop Boys is featured twice in the countdown: Pet Shop Boys: West End Girls (1985) and Pet Shop Boys: Heart (1988).
