I always have a hard time imagining the time when Broadway soundtracks were at the top of the charts. It seems like such a simpler time.
You’re right @The Dick Dujour. The days when soundtracks like My Fair Lady and South Pacific were top of the chart, better than the current days of bands who have been produced to sound crap LOL. Bring back the days when soundtracks were included in the weekly charts.
Yay! Now i don’t have to worry about which music to purchase!
You sure don’t FanDepot, be sure to come back daily for updates to On This Day In History and weekly on a Sunday evening when the Top 20 songs and albums will be announced.
