or you could split the top 10 into part2 for both years that should ensure only 3 tracks per artist in any file

Around 5% of electricity in the United States is used for data centers — far more than the global average. Around 1.5% of the world’s electricity was used for data centers in 2025. People are often surprised by how low this number is.

Much of the metadata has been researched and curated manually using API data where available, so there may be the occasional missing or incorrect detail. If you spot anything that looks wrong, please let me know!

Includes all the 50 years with a chart and the 2 all time charts. Almost every track has a link to listen to it, with Spotify and YouTube playlists also available. Everything is searchable, with a wealth of metadata and links to artists, tracks and other sources.

I'm a massive fan of Peel's festive fifty and have been listening for decades. Also collecting and researching this data for a while, and this is my attempt to bring it all together in one place. You can explore by year, artist and track, with charts, statistics and other views of the data

Imagine declassifying documents to prove your claims, only for them to do the exact opposite. Everything Trump does is half-assed. You just know this dude cheated his way through school. The best analysis I’ve seen so far. 🧵
