Our 1956-1999 Top Twenty Chart Poll Qualifying

Fifteen records have qualified for this poll and five more from the 1990s will join them. Please see below.

I don’t normally do this, but I think the circumstances are exceptional.

Let’s Dance qualified, but Life on Mars? missed out. If you look at our David Bowie poll you will see that Life on Mars? was far more popular than Let’s Dance.

Our 1980s Top Twenty Chart Poll

The final chart. Many thanks for all your boosts and votes.

A clear divide between the top ten and bottom ten in this poll. Out of season, Fairytale of New York was not popular, while Bruce Springsteen did not do as well as I expected.

Yeah, DJ Kozes fantastisch niveauvolles #Pop Album "Music can hear us" ist zwar leider nicht von 0 auf 1 aber immerhin von 0 auf 4 in den Deutschen Albumcharts eingestiegen. \o/
Man könnte sagen, naja, wieder jemand von vor über 20 Jahren, der jetzt einfach von alten Säck:innen aus Nostalgia konsumiert wird... Ja, das spielt sicher auch rein, aber dieses Album ist verdammt frisch und Koze-style verspielt, voller Stellen mit nonverbalem musikalischen Humor und gleichzeitig bei weitem nicht mehr so sperrig, wie die Vorgängeralben.
Das beste Popalbum der 2020er so far vielleicht.

Ich wünsche mir, dass es für Monate oder gar Jahre in den Top10 bleibt und alle Düdelmusikradiostationen dieses Landes zwingt, DJ Koze-Musik in die Heavy Rotation aufzunehmen, damit plötzlich eine Art Niveauoffensive entsteht, die zu einer Welle von guter Musik weiterer neuer, derzeit noch unbekannter Künstler:innen führt, die dann von den Düdelradios gespielt wird, die dann plötzlich keine Düdelradios mehr sind, denn plötzlich spielen sie wieder gute Musik.
Sowas geht!!

It's Monday so it's time for #MoodMusicMonday! Today's mood is "self-forgiveness".

Post a song/songs that you think fit "self-forgiveness"! It can be about self-forgiveness or written as part of a self-forgiveness process or something you listen to to forgive yourself or whatever.

There are no wrong answers, it's just an excuse to post music!

Remember to include the hashtag #MoodMusicMonday and the mood "clarity"
