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):
Trackslistan
Well, that's it, really😊
