"Gražios Dainos" ("Beautiful songs" on Lithuanian) is a retrospective music chart with my favourite songs on each week.
Special thanks to :
- 45cat (for big database of retro songs) - Earl Purple popchartfreak Razzle Dazzle and their retro weekly charts (for the inspiration)
- all acts, which will have any songs in this chart (for their music)

No changes at # 1, but our leader can feel a strong breath of Welsh beauty.
Mary Hopkin already outperformed her # 6 in UK with brand new single "Temma Harbour".
Heidi Bruhl got top 10 result with German language cover of popular hit again. Now it's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head".
Weak start for new Sandie Shaw song, her previous single spent a month on the top of my chart.
