Billboard Hot 100 Music Video Archive

When someone wants to relax, nothing beats listening to music. Some would like to hear classical music as they sit comfortably on their lazyboy chair or sofa. Others would like to hear jazz, reggae or contemporary music. I myself like to listen to music to chill out. I like listening to the music I grew up with. These are the music of the 80's specifically new wave and pop music by AHA, Michael Jackson, Spandau Ballet, Madonna, The Cure, The Police, Duran duran to name a few. Unfortunately, when we migrated to Canada, all of my original collection was left behind in my country of origin.

I am now trying to collect again. However CD's are not very cheap here. Especially the old and hard to find ones. Fortunately for me there are a lot of websites that are available on the world wide web or internet where you can purchase or buy any song. You purchase it online. After you pay using your credit card, you may download a copy of your favorite song. Sometimes you need to download and install a software that will help and guide you in doing the online purchase and store the downloaded songs as well as organize the songs.

There are also websites that help you find songs or even contain a very rich collection of songs old and new. One of the nice website that provides this service is Billboard Hot 100 Music Video Archive, the site contains a wide variety of music from as early as the mid 1940's to present. On the home page, the years are displayed as a link. one can view the top 100 songs from a particular era or year. When a year is clicked or selected it brings you to the list of songs that made it to the top one hundred for that year. And it goes even better. Each of the songs is a link to a page in either youtube, dailymotion or other websites that hosts music It shows and plays the song that on has selected. The nice thing about the link is that it also gives you the singer, the band or composer of the song. You are lucky if the video will also display the lyrics of the song so one can sing along.
Websites like Billboard Hot 100 Music Video Archive will be a hit for new and experienced internet users. The way it is organized and layed out is so simple that even a user that is very new to computers and web browsing will be able to use.
