None of these lists are complete. Some may be missing the odd track but in some cases in runs into double figures. If you find that missing tracks have been added to Spotify please let me know. Now to start on 2000+! Done!

This is such a useful service, thank you!
I think freebie Daily Mail newspaper “The Metro” featured your Festive 50 playlists yesterday, Tom.
Did they? Anyone have a copy I can have?
I love your lists, have spent the days since Metro mentioned you listening to old Festive Fifties! Thank you.
It would be great if you could spend some time reordering the ones Shane did, cos surely a chart should be listened to from 50 to 1, not 1 to 50.

Brilliant idea … thank you for the time and effort in compiling these playlists
These arn’t working any more! Spotify says it can’t find the playlists.
There seems to be a problem with spotify. This is affecting me trying to play other users playlists as well.

The spotify lists for the festive 50s were excellent but they no longer work. Are you planning to share then again?

They are working fine this end Richard. Spotify does have a playlist bug problem now and again.

This site is absolutely brilliant
Thanks Marc! Appreciated.
Big thanks!
One thing though.. several of the tracks chosen are currently unavailable in the UK, but a quick search often reveals them as available on different albums/compilations.
e.g. on the ‘76 list: brown sugar, layla, cortez the killer, and like a rolling stone.
Sam – You can change your Spotify settings so that tracks unavailable to the UK don’t get played. I do plan on going through them again to update them at some point!
What a great resource! Having recently upgraded to Spotify Premium I have to thank you for your efforts on this – brilliant stuff!
[...] October 13, 2009 by Tom I have started to update the Festive 50’s and will post the links here when the updates are complete. I will also update the FF 50′ of the 1990’s to run, as per requests, towards the number one rather than the opposite as the person who compiled the original playlists has done. The original post is here. [...]
