More than a decade ago, Dustin ( tdc2000 ) created the Retro Charts, a place where music lovers could come, vote and "rebuild" charts from 50-40-30-20-10 years ago. But revisting those charts, you realize that this amazing body of work also is a fantastic database of so many singles released during so many years.
I have started to slowly compile all the charts into one big file, for personal pleasure in order to build some Spotify playlists for my own entertainment. But as I keep adding info, I see that this info Dustin gathered, with many ukmixers (and some...) votes considered, has a life of its own!
So welcome to this little thread, where I'll honour the Retro Charts by bringing Chart facts, Records, certifications and Year-End charts. Hope you enjoy and find here interesting and fun data! It's still a database under contruction but in time we'll have here a cool place to check music from the past!
This thread will summarize the First cycle of the Retro Charts, and to set a starting point, the cycle goes from Retro charts posted on January 2010 to December 2019. By the end of the year I'll be creating a new thread for the Second cycle that started January 2020.
I won't go in order, but there'll be some logic in it. And as 1950s charts only had one run I'll start in 1960 so we'll eventaully compare performance in the first cycle versus the second one!
Thanks Dustin for your hard work!
