A selection of songs that would have been on popular music radio in the 70s, 80s and 90s. This is the basic format of existing "oldies" stations such as Greatest Hits and Gold Radio, but with the added bonus of getting a playlist that changes with the seasons (and without DJ chatter!).

Summer Vibes and Timeless Tunes: A Playlist for All Seasons

Music has a way of transporting us to different eras and evoking powerful emotions. This eclectic playlist is a journey through time, featuring a diverse range of genres and decades. From classic hits to modern chart-toppers, these songs are sure to get you singing along.

Take That sets the tone with their iconic single 'Never Forget - Single Version' from 1995, a heartfelt ballad that showcases the group's signature harmonies. The Spice Girls join in with 'Viva Forever' and 'Wannabe', two empowering anthems that defined the 90s pop landscape. Craig David's smooth R&B vibes shine in '7 Days', while Robbie Williams brings the party with 'Rock DJ'.

The playlist takes a trip down memory lane with 70s and 80s favourites like Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love', Elton John's 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart', and ABBA's 'The Winner Takes It All'. T. Rex's glam-rock classic 'Get It On' gets the party started, while The Boomtown Rats' 'I Don't Like Mondays' and The Specials' 'Gangsters' bring a touch of punk and new wave.

The 90s are well-represented with hits from Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, and Ricky Martin. 'Picture Of You' and 'Everybody (Backstreet's Back) - Radio Edit' showcase the boy bands' signature harmonies, while 'Livin' la Vida Loca' and 'If Ya Gettin' Down' bring the Latin vibes. Other notable tracks from this era include Take That's 'Pray', Wet Wet Wet's 'Love is All Around', and The Levellers' 'What a Beautiful Day'.

This playlist isn't just about the big names, though. Artists like Dodgy, Reef, and Mansun add a touch of Britpop and alternative flair. The dancefloor-friendly beats of SNAP!'s 'Rhythm Is A Dancer', Black Box's 'Ride on Time', and Odyssey's 'Use It Up & Wear It Out' are sure to get you moving.

From hip-hop to rock, and pop to R&B, this playlist has something for everyone. Whether you're a fan of classic hits or modern chart-toppers, you'll find yourself singing along to these timeless tunes.
