The series presented hit recordings, which were danced to and lip-synced by the cast ("The Hit Paraders"[3]), often presenting the songs in settings with sets and costumes (anticipating the music video). Over 20 episodes of this series are held by National Film and Sound Archive,[3] along with a few episodes of These Were the Hits, a similar series.
