Awesome chart. A 50's chart is probably the toughest to make (I would imagine) because most people would probably have been least exposed to music from the 50s outside the few legendary household names. I'm gonna add the Antônio Carlos Jobim & Luiz Floriano Bonfá soundtrack to my shortlist. I discovered Antônio Carlos Jobim recently while digging through the 60's and I'm a big fan of what I've heard thus far.
