The sixties : 1968

[freddyaxe]

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 1963 – 1967.

I just created the playlist ‘The sixties : 1968’ 

I start with the songs at position 1-10 of the first week of 1968. 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, January 1968, numbers 01 – 10

01 The Beatles – Hello, Goodbye

02 The Bee Gees – World

03 Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour

04 The Monkees – Day Dream Believer

05 The Rolling Stones – 2000 Light Years From Home/ She's A Rainbow

06 Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich – Zabadak!

07 Dave Clark 5 – Everybody Knows

08 Johnny + Rijk – De Bostella

09 Flower Pot Men – A Walk In The Sky

10 The Bee Gees – Holiday

The songs mentioned in red are not available on Spotify

Have Fun & Enjoy,

FreddyAxe.
