The seventies : 1970

The seventies : 1970

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€“ 1969.

I just created the playlist โ€˜The seventies : 1970โ€™ 

I start with the songs at position 1-10 of the first week of 1969. I will add songs on a regular base till all songs that have been up in the chart that year are in it.

 

Week 1, 3 of Januari 1970, numbers 01 - 10
01 The Cats - Marian
02 Shocking Blue - Mighty Joe
03 The Golden Earring - Another 45 Miles
04 Ginger Ale - The Flood
05 DBM & T - Tonight Today
06 Robin Gibb - One Million Years
07 The Shuffles - Cha-La-La, I Need You
08 Aphrodite's Child - Marie Jolie
09 Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well!
10 Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

 

The songs in red are not available on Spotify.
