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

Very interesting idea, however I imagine 52-62 been a bit of a drag, and it would become decreasingingly less interesting from 1982 onwards. It doesn't say how often he does the chart show, I'm assuming that he does 1 a day. There would be a lot of repetition with most songs remaining in the chart for several weeks and only a few additions each week. I feel for him when he gets to 1991 and he has to endure Bryan Adam's "Everything I do a do it for you" 17 weeks at number one, let alone all the other weeks in the chart.
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. |
