Top 100 Moldie Oldies 1955-1958 |
| Moldy Oldies Pre-Beatles, Pre-Motown Oldies |
| Like all Pop Culture Madness music charts, this list is a reflection of the most requested songs in our network of disc-jockeys and YOUR e-mailed suggestions. This list is of songs that were popular before the Beatles, and some songs after that continued in that old school 50’s style. There was a time when Chuck Berry, Lee Andrews, Bill Haley, and even Elvis Presley topped this list. Although primarily rockers, a few songs from the contemporary pop standards era have cracked this list. REMEMBER – we update the oldies charts every year – it’s not a list of the “greatest” music – it’s a list of the most requested music of all time. |
