throwback hits
Classic chart favorites
Throwback hits are popular songs from an earlier era, typically played to evoke nostalgia.
The term appears in radio formats, playlists, and party contexts where the appeal is remembering music from one's past: The DJ played nothing but throwback hits from the nineties.
What counts as a throwback depends on the audience's age—for some it's the eighties, for others the early 2000s.
