The breakdown:
50s= 2
60s= 6
70s= 9
80s= 27
90s= 28
00s= 28
Not too surprised with the results, although I did think I'd have more '60s singles than '70s ones. Even though there are only 2 I am glad I managed to get some from the '50s so all pop music decades are covered.
It was actually very easy to do, and on average I think I prefer #3 singles to a lot of the UK #2 and #1 singles.
