Edited July 15, 201510 yr by Leonardo
July 15, 201510 yr me, too. Fab fun. 70's and 90's would be great. I expect 90's would get a better reaction. I expect AH would like a break from it if no-one jumps in. Is there a website with all peak positions of songs in a decade? That's a lotta research if not! The track that's looking like missing the top 40? The Fall. So far at any rate.... :P
July 15, 201510 yr Author No website with all the peak positions im afraid. Trust me i did look lol. Glad you have been enjoying this. Its always interesting to see peoples faves. Oh and yes, the 70s will be coming next. Starting next week in fact...

Oh and yes, the 70s will be coming next. Starting next week in fact... yay! I fully expect I'll be the only one voting for loads of early 70's gems like He's Gonna Step On You Again and Witch Queen Of New Orleans. records when you're 13 or 14 mean so much more.... :cheer:
July 15, 201510 yr I'll try to do the 70s one but I'm expecting there to be far less tracks that seem familiar to me.

July 16, 201510 yr You can use http://everyhit.com/ to give you the eventual peak positions of tracks, but you have to do it month by month, year on year. Would love to do a 90s one. Hey, I'd even do a 50s one. Not sure about anything 21st century though.
July 16, 201510 yr i'd adore a 60's one (classic decade) and yes I'd do a 50's one too - though about half I wouldn't know, I expect. :lol: Not many chart positions in the 50's and they hung around for ever so in theory should be quite a short list...! (and yes, it would be my turn to vote for novelty records - Ying Tong Song, Hello Muddah Hello Faddah, Right Said Fred would all get points :lol: )
