Sometimes they come back! This is a kind of "history of music" project, based on aggregated charts found on Acclaimed Music. It features Top 20 playlists for decades 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, and yearly Top 20 playlists (both songs and albums) for each year from 1960 to 2010. It should be a weekly project, but it's almost two months from its latest chapter. Time to re-start it.
This playlist is dedicated to 1962. The year of Green Onions, The Loco-Motion, Isley Brothers' version of Twist and Shout and John Barry's immortal theme for Mr. Bond's movies. Enjoy!
Stay in touch with the new playlists!
