To celebrate Motown’s 60 th anniversary, Official Charts have teamed up with BBC Radio 2 to reveal the UK’s Official Top 100 Motown Chart, combining digital download sales and streams. It went on to revolutionise pop with its distinctive brand of R&B-soul with a pop influence – and helped pushed black artists into the mainstream.

Motown was founded in 1959 by Berry Gordy, an unknown record producer who borrowed $800 from his family to start up the label. Its impact still reverberates across music today: songs like Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, My Girl and Stop! In The Name of Love are timeless classics that remain as popular today as when they were first released. Founded 60 years ago in Detroit, Michigan, Motown was the label that launched a musical revolution.
