The sixties : 1969

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 1962 – 1968.

I just created the playlist ‘The sixties : 1969’ 

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, January 1969, numbers 01 – 10

01 Zen - Hair
02 Barry Ryan - Eloise
03 Andy Williams - Battle Hymn of the Republic (with The St. Charles Borromeo Choir)
04 The Scaffold - Lily the Pink - 1998 Remaster
05 Marmalade - Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
06 Rika Zaraï - Yerushalaim shel zahav
07 The Cats - Lea
08 Nina Simone - Ain't Got No - I Got Life - Remastered
09 Canned Heat - Going Up The Country
10 Boots - In The Beginning
