The United States had its own similar series, "American Bandstand", which aired nationally on ABC from 1957 to 1987 (although it would continue in first-run syndication until 1988 and end its run on USA in 1989). Similar series also included "Soul Train" (1970–2006, featuring R&B artists), "Club MTV" (1986–92, featuring Dance Music acts; hosted by Downtown Julie Brown, an alumnus of TOTP as part of the show's last dance troupe Zoo) and "Solid Gold" (1980–88; like the early TOTP, it also used dance troupes).
