Brilliant! Thanks for taking a trip through the music with me. Love, Diane ❤️
☕ Hi-Ya! Diane here! 👋❤️
I really hope you've found this archive interesting, useful and, most importantly, fun to explore.
I've got to say, it's taken an insane amount of time and effort to put together! Tracking down the chart information, finding and checking all those videos, fixing broken links and building the jukebox has turned into quite a project — and there are more archives planned too.
I think I've done a pretty good job though... even if I do say so myself! 😂
There's still plenty more I want to add, and these archives will need looking after as videos disappear, links change and new chart entries are added.
So, if you've enjoyed having a wander through the years and you'd like to buy me a coffee or leave a little tip, it would be hugely appreciated. It helps towards keeping everything running and, just as importantly, keeps me motivated to build the next one!
Thanks for visiting and I hope it brought back a few memories.
