The sixties : 1960

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 doesnโ€™t matter. If it is in the charts of that year, itโ€™s in de playlist of that year.

The playlists from 1957 โ€“ 1964 will be based on the monthly charts of the (not existing anymore) dutch magazine โ€˜Muziek Paradeโ€™.

The playlists from 1965 till now, will be based on the charts of โ€˜De Nederlandse Top 40โ€™.

I already created playlists for 1961 โ€“ 1970.

I just created the playlist โ€˜The sixties : 1960โ€™ 

I start with the songs from january 1960. I will add songs on a regular base till all songs that have been up in the chart that year are in it.
