Hi my name is Fred.
I have a mission : that is to create a large music library on spotify with playlists per year based on what songs were in the charts that year.
Good or bad songs, it doesn’t matter. If it is in the charts of that year, it’s in de playlist of that year.
The playlists from 1957 – 1964 will be based on the monthly charts of the (not existing anymore) dutch magazine ‘Muziek Parade’.
The playlists from 1965 till now, will be based on the charts of ‘De Nederlandse Top 40’.
I already created playlists for 1964 – 1967.
I just created playlist ‘The sixties : 1963’
In it are the songs at position 1-10 of the first month of 1963. I will add songs on a regular base till all songs that have been up in the chart that year are in it.
Enjoy
FreddyAxe.
Nice collection! Mine are not in chronological order but maybe you'll draw some inspiration for yours.
