Chart collection - De Nederlandse Top 40

So, another chart collection. The Netherlands is one of those countries that always had not one, but two charts, even to this day. They were Nationale Hitparade/Mega Top 100 and De Nederlandse Top 40 (aka Stichting Top 40). The first is readily available here, while Top 40 site only has singles charts, and is quite awkward to use. But - there were once two sites by Micha Jans, that carried archives of these singles and albums charts. Now they are neglected, with albums chart site practically nonexistent. One can always use the Wayback Machine (eternal praise to those who invented it!), but I did the work for others - and here are the contents of these two sites.

One archive is for singles, the other - for albums. These are lists of hits for each year with entry date, peak position and weeks on chart (just basic stuff, but just what is really needed). The real interest here is with album chart (LP Top 20/30/50/75/Album Top 100), as it's not readily available anywhere, to my knowledge (for full story see the chart guide).

Australia - all chart singles 1960-1989

There are no searchable Australian chart archives before 1989 on the Net... right? Well, actually, there are lists of all singles that charted in the country between 1960 and 1989. Published by Gavin Ryan aka bulion on Australian-Charts.com's great "Special Occasion Charts" subforum, these are available for all to see. Here are links to all relevant posts. Since 1974 info is from Kent/Australian Music report, before that - Go-Set and retroactive charts by David Kent.

Chart collection - Trackslistan (Sweden)

Here's the first of my chart collections from various countries of the world. Swedish national radio station P3 debuted its weekly show called "Tracks" in September 1984. It had the listeners'-voted Top 20 chart called "Trackslistan" - which quickly became the most talked-about in the country and very influential. Though it wasn't an all-powerful hit-making machine - songs could chart in it, even get to No. 1 without even appearing on the national sales-chart ("Topplistan"). Still, it helped make lots of bands and artists well-known.

There was a website which had all its archives up to mid 2000s but that had gone down (as is rather often with the chart sites), seemingly without a new permanent home. I managed to retrieve most of its contents via the Internet Wayback Machine (all hail those who invented it!) - and now they can be downloaded wholly here (in their original form on HTML pages):

Well, that's it, really😊
