• 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.

• Of the 50 music videos featured in the countdown, only two are in black and white: The Police: Every Breath You Take (1983) and New Kids on the Block: You Got It (the Right Stuff) (1988). Bucks Fizz: The Land of Make Believe (1981), Depeche Mode: People Are People (1984), Culture Club: The War Song (1984), Queen: Radio Ga Ga (1984), Bon Jovi: Livin' on a Prayer (1986), Europe: The Final Countdown (1986) and INXS: Need You Tonight (1987) alternate color with black and white. The rest of the music videos are in color.
