Mark Bicknell Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 We often read quotes of the top 500 oldies being constantly played at venues but the reality is that there are far more records which have, can and do get played, just curious on how many records actually could be included and added to this list?

Regards - Mark Bicknell. nope, for instance, there are 40 gigs on nationwide this saturday and i'd say thats about average on any given saturday......i cant imagine for one minute that the SAME 500 records are being played across the uk, all at the same time. a dj set averages 20 records and most gigs average 5 hours ( discounting all-nighters ) so, realistically 5 gigs could play all 500, but even then, every gig could play a 100 different ones......so, you're still getting variety! in the meantime 35 other gigs could be playing 3500 different oldies...so the SAME, technically speaking dosnt exist? and another thing...should we keep referring to records as oldies simply because they were played way back when....the fact is, they were already old when we heard/danced to/bought them, by at least 6-8 years. to the younger generations getting into them, its all NEW MUSIC,....ITS JUST 36-38 YEARS OLD NOW!!
