This week, 20 years ago - February 16, 1996, I created my very first chart, inspired by the weekly video countdown shows on MTV and VH1 (when they used to actually air music videos). It started as a Top 20 countdown...a size it stayed for a little more than a year until it transitioned to a Top 30 in Spring 1997. By the Fall that same year, it had turned into the Top 50 that it is today. I started writing my charts by hand in pencil each week in spiral notebooks...eventually transitioning to writing in pen. I had no expectations when I started out and I certainly didn't think I'd carry things over to creating them on the computer and eventually posting them online. (The 20th Anniversary of my website will happen in late November 2018.) It's been an amazing 20 years so far of changing tastes in music and changing chart sizes, but a steady love for music. Here's to 20 more and beyond!
Go here to see the Top 402 songs that have hit #1 on my personal chart since its inception: freakyflybry.proboards.com/thread/58179/20th-anniversary-jasons-top-songs
Here's a link to this week's chart:

This week, The Weeknd tries for a fourth week at #1 with "In The Night." Three new songs enter the Top 50. Plus, the latest by new act, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, is featured in the Hot Track Of The Week section. We also shine the Spotlight on Nelly's "new" song. AND we travel back to 2002 to revisit the song that has spent more weeks at #1 on my chart than any other. Also, a look back at the various Top 5s during this week from 1996 through 2015.
And in a feature that's exclusive to the thread here on M4BCC and not included on my website, here is one complete retro chart from this week during a previous year that I compiled my personal chart.
