Not my favourite decade, but but definitely better than a lot 80s charts I've seen. The Blues Brothers soundtrack is a very inspired selection.

Kudos for Into the Unknown! I was wondering if that would ever make its way onto this site...

Thanks. If I extended it to 60 the remaining two Maiden albums would be included too.
