Each episode (broadcast on every first Monday of the month) 8 songs that recently charted in the local chart were showcased and a panel of 100 members of the public would vote for their favourite song. In case of a tie the songs would be put up for a postcard voting and the winner would be revealed via tabloid newspaper The Olaf Times the week after.
The first episode was won by "Leaning on the Lamp Post" by Herman's Hermits after a postcard victory of 59.46% against "Bang Bang" by Cher. It was the only instance of postcard voting in the entire season. The final episode was won by "Bernadette" by the Four Tops.
