Comment:

What was being listened to on New Year's Eve; one song from each year for 1954-79. The first number after each song name is how the song was charting at the end of the year and the second number is the peak position on the charts.

Very cool idea, Retro.

Looks like you did not leave it to chance, but picked something good for each New Year's Eve. "Can I Get A Witness" is one of my all-time favorites, as is "Living in the Past."
