Danish Top 10 Jukebox Singles
The
following list contains the Top 10 Jukebox Singles in Danish language used in
the automatic phonographs. However, the list might not be hundred percent
correct yet, because it has been based on the checking of several play counters
of scrapped jukeboxes, still with the title strips mounted in the late
eighties, combined with checking of contemporary charts of popular music. The
most important era of Danish pop-music in jukeboxes ought to start with the
early sixties, but the late seventies and early eighties have had a certain
effect on the counts for the most popular recordings of the seventies
(including the special jukebox singles made for operators only). As a
consequence, the listings may not be fair to the hard working pop-music artists
of the sixties, but the survey has of course not yet been completed.

It
is still necessary to find further, reliable information about the Danish 45rpm
records used in the jukeboxes during the period from the early sixties until
around 1987, when the new compact disc mechanisms totally changed the number of
selections on jukeboxes. If you should find interesting information related to
the listings above, please do not hesitate to send a note to the editor of the
site.
