 "Chartjackers" was devised in 2009 by Davenport and Andy Mettam of Hat Trick Productions, and was commissioned for development by Geoffrey Goodwin and Jo Twist of BBC Switch.Alongside the programmes "Off the Hook" and "The Cut", it was featured as part of a season of multi-platform content designed to appeal to teenagers.The show was also directly linked to the 2009 annual appeal for the British charity "Children in Need" – profits from sales of the completed pop song were donated to the charity.
