Made by Tuesday’s Child Scotland and filmed at Pacific Quay in Glasgow, The Hit List (12 x 45’) will see Marvin and Rochelle Humes return to host TV’s most thrilling music quiz as pairs of contestants try to name the artist and title of hit songs over three different rounds before the last team standing face The Final Chart Rundown to be in with a chance of winning up to £10,000.

The 2023 run will include the regular series plus a brand new batch of celebrities in some very special themed episodes including Eurovision and Strictly Come Dancing.

We have a fabulous celebration sequence ready if the big moment arrives!”
