Woolfy’s Retro Charts on Rocking Fox Radio

Launched in 2020, Woolfy’s Retro Charts is a weekly music radio show celebrating the British singles charts.

Each programme revisits two classic chart years, offering a snapshot of the music that was popular during the same week in different periods of chart history.

The show takes listeners back to the days when the Sunday chart countdown was essential listening, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s.

However, Retro Charts isn’t simply about nostalgia. It’s also an opportunity to rediscover songs, revisit familiar hits and explore the musical differences between two years.

Broadcasting from Glasgow

Woolfy presents Retro Charts from studios in Glasgow, Scotland, sharing his knowledge of the British music charts with listeners in the UK and around the world.

His programme combines decades of broadcasting experience with an enthusiasm for the music and history of the UK Top 40.
