Bumped up for the benefit of MCR, or anyone else interested in some alternate retro entertainment this Christmas and New Year holiday.

1984 was a shit year from memory in both pop and metal.
1984 is widely regarded as one of the best years ever in popular music, and I agree, up there with the best.
This guy playing all the charts is remarkable isn't he. Just discovered the archive on Mixcloud and he's up to 1994 now.

What a great idea. I'll be checking some of that out. Thanks for the heads up.
When he finishes he could consider doing the American Billboard Hot 100, which I believe started in 1940. That will give him more than enough to get stuck into for the rest of his life I should think.
