Other fun site in that niche (Since 2013), you can select the country + year and just "tune in": https://app.radiooooo.com/

Was really excited until I saw the required sign-up... neat 1920s demo, though.

Best alternative is only by region (LIVE): https://radio.garden/>

It's a very old site and that came recently, same with the optional premium account. Makes sense to me as it's a small project and they actually legally license the music.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for catching this! Fixing now

the israeli one has a lot of wrong data as well, "2005 year end top 10" all came out in late 90s-2002

Thanks for catching that. It will be fixed over the weekend

I tried to look at the charts for Canada. The result may be representative for English Canada but Canada is really two markets. There is English Canada and French Canada, and both listen to very different music, with different charts. Belgium and Switzerland are probably the same.

Interest point! For Canada I used the canadian billboard as source https://www.billboard.com/charts/canadian-hot-100/ Indeed this might be indexing on English Canada
