Welcome to the Retro Archive page, home of the Retro Big 60 Playoff and other exciting features.

Updated Friday, November 10, 2000

Starting in January, 2000, record chart enthusiasts from around the world voted for their favorite songs for a particular week in the Rock and Roll Era in the Retro Big 30 Countdown. The chart below represents their ranking of all the songs that made Numbers One and Two on the weekly Retro charts. Each day (or as my schedule permitted), 2 or 3 songs were revealed until we reached Number One. Additioally, Retro voters in the Yahoo Top 40 Chart Club participated in a contest to predict the Top Ten. The numbers in each cell indicate the number of points each voter gave to each song--NOT their chart positions, i.e. "60" means the voter ranked the song Number One, "59" means they ranked it Number Two, and so on.

**NOTE: VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR LESS THAN 60 SONGS HAD THEIR NONLISTED SONGS AVERAGED**
