A journey through the songs that actually made the charts — huge classics, forgotten favourites and everything in between, across pop, dance, rock, soul and whatever else people were buying, requesting and recording from the radio.

SUNDAY IS FIXED.
If DJ FOLSOE joins a raidtrain, the exact broadcast time may move that Sunday. Check the current Twitch schedule for the confirmed start time.

01
THE IDEA
Not one decade.
All of them.
Retro Hits is not locked to the 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s.
The rule is much simpler: if it was a hit, it belongs in the archive.
Pop. Dance. Rock. Soul. Disco. Synth-pop. Eurodance. New wave. Soft rock. Power ballads. Radio monsters. Summer hits. One-hit wonders. And the occasional record that makes everybody in chat say:
“I had completely forgotten this existed.”
Those are often the best moments.
SUN
02 · THE SUNDAY TRADITION
Sunday morning belongs to the charts.
Retro Hits is on every Sunday.
The normal broadcast window is 08:00–12:00 Copenhagen time: four hours with enough room to move through decades, rediscover songs and stop for the little stories behind them.
There is one deliberate exception to the clock: if DJ FOLSOE is part of a Twitch raidtrain, the exact start and finish may shift to fit the raidtrain schedule.
The day does not change.
Retro Hits is still Sunday.
03 · FIVE DOORS INTO THE PAST
How far back are we going today?
THIS WEEK IN HISTORY
01POPBig chorus. Bigger memory.
02DANCEThe floor remembers.
03ROCKGuitars also made the charts.
04SOULStill sounds expensive.
05ODDITYEvery chart had one.
04 · CHARTS FIRST, GENRES SECOND
If people made it a hit,
we want to hear it.
Retro Hits is deliberately genre-blind.
A great chart can move from glossy pop into a rock anthem, then a dance record, a soul ballad and finally something so strange that nobody can quite explain how it reached number three.
That variety is the show.
We are not rewriting history into neat genre playlists. We open the chart and see what was actually there.
05 · DEEP DIVE: ONE YEAR
Sometimes we stop the machine.
Some Sundays can zoom in on one single year and stay there.
What was released? What climbed the charts? Which records became permanent classics? Which songs were enormous for six weeks and then quietly vanished?
We can look beyond the number ones: the strange number 17, the follow-up single, the debut nobody noticed at first and the track that became much bigger years later.
One year can contain an absurd amount of music.
06 · HOW WE HEARD IT
The music changed.
So did the objects around it.
Singles, albums, B-sides and the physical weight of choosing what came next.
CASSETTE
Radio on. REC pressed. DJ talking over the intro. Tradition.
Perfect sound forever. Until the disc lived loose in the glovebox for four years.

The format changed again. The songs followed us anyway.
07 · THE LITTLE STORY
Every hit arrives with baggage.
A debut, a surprise hit or the record that suddenly changed an artist’s career.
Sometimes even bigger. Sometimes number 38. Both are interesting.
A hit becomes more interesting when we see what it was competing with that same week.
Some tracks remain because they were great. Others because radio played them seventeen times a day.
08 · THE ONES THAT SLIPPED AWAY
Big then.
Almost invisible now.
One of the best parts of chart history is finding records that were genuinely successful and somehow vanished from everyday rotation.
They sold. They charted. They were on radio. People knew them.
Then thirty years happened.
Retro Hits gives them another spin.

FORGET? TWITCH CHAT · WHEN REQUESTS ARE OPEN
10 · THE AUDIENCE HAS A MEMORY TOO
Requests make the archive better.
Everybody remembers different records.
One viewer remembers the giant hit. Another remembers track 14 on a compilation. Somebody else remembers the song because it played at every school party for six months.
When requests are open, bring those memories into the show.
We may know the song immediately.
We may have to investigate.
Both outcomes are useful.
11 · THE ARCHIVE NEVER FINISHES
There is always another chart.
Another week. Another year. Another country. Another record somebody has not heard since 1989.
Retro Hits is built to keep digging.
Not because everything old is automatically good.
But because charts are an incredible record of what people actually listened to at the time.
And that story is much bigger than a greatest-hits playlist.

BIG HITS.
FORGOTTEN HITS.
REAL CHART HISTORY.
Pop, dance, rock and everything in between — if it reached the charts, it has a place in the story.
Pick a decade. Pick a year. Open the archive.
If a raidtrain changes the clock, check the current Twitch schedule. The time may move. Sunday does not.
The best old songs are not always the ones we remembered first.
