Festive Fifty

Festive Fifty ist eine britische Radioshow, die 1976 von John Peel entwickelt wurde. Ausgestrahlt werden gegen Ende des Jahres eine Liste von Musikstücken, die von den Hörern von Peels Programm bei BBC Radio 1 zu den Besten gezählt wurden. Ursprünglich wurden die jeweils besten Songs aller Zeiten gewählt. Die Show wurde später von dem Internetsender Dandelion Radio übernommen.<ref>BBC - Radio 1: Keeping it Peel - Festive 50s</ref>
