Questa è una raccolta di classifiche stilate nel corso dell'ultimo trentennio sia dai più noti personaggi della scena Northern Soul che dai semplici appassionati. Pur essendo centinaia, è stato pressochè impossibile trovare due Top-Ten simili (nessuno pretendeva di trovarne due addirittura uguali !!) segno della impressionante vastità della produzione musicale in ambito Soul.
