The internet not only provides numerous resources for the music
lover (see my hotlist page) but there also exists an entire internet
community of music chart aficionados (see my music links page).
However, I have been compiling weekly music charts for 25+ years.
Here is a listing of the number one singles on my year-end charts since
1980. Complete charts for recent years can be obtained by clicking on the
hyperlinked year.
