Lemming met Lucifera is de hoogste nieuwe binnenkomer op nummer 24 deze week. Het prachtige Music and Me van Michael Jackson, een plaat die je veel te weinig op de radio hoort, komt deze week binnen op nummer 33. Barry Blue komt binnen op nummer 36 met Do you want to dance, blijkbaar heeft z’n danspartner inmiddels andere bezigheden op zaterdagavond. De hele week worden we getreiterd met Jailhouse Rock van Elvis, nummer 2 in de Troef 20 is ook al zo’n oudje, maar ook erg mooi. Op nummer 6 en nummer 11 staat dezelfde melodie, maar met een andere tekst, ’t Lied der liefde en Vive l’amour, Vive l’amore.

Deze Top 50 kun je hier beluisteren:

Uur 1 Uur 2 Uur 3

Als toegift deze week de

TROEF 20
