In this thread I will post the yearly lists with my favourite songs from UK singles chart.

From the first year (1952) to the current 2018.

P.S : for the streaming era I used "Sales only" chart.

Great thread idea. 1952 is pre rock'n'roll so I don't think I know any of those but I would probably recognise some of them if I played them.
