Though we've been featuring compilations curated by Brandon Hixson all week here on The Hideaway, he has been featured here since 2013. Brandon first appeared here back in May of that year with his unique countdown of all the songs that made the Top 40 in 1983. Another post, this time focusing on the 222 songs that made the Top 40 in 1982, followed a month later in June 2013. His series on the Lost Hits of The Early 80's got the spotlight in January 2014. In November 2016, Brandon's Top Hits series, inspired by Billboard's similar series with Rhino, was featured here on The Hideaway. Brandon's Top Christmas Hits albums from his Top Hits series was shared here on The Hideaway in December 2016 in his first Mixtape Monday appearance. We've also featured authentic K-Tel needle drop recordings from Brandon's personal stash several times over on The K-Tel Kollection. For Brandon's eighth appearance here on The Hideaway, we're listening to his latest series, The Supergroups and featuring links to Brandon's original YouTube posts as well as exclusive Spotify playlists. We'll keep it simple: all five Supergroups albums were worth our time. Each one features sixteen tracks and clocks in just over an hour, making them perfect for fans of pop music from the first half of the Eighties like us. Bravo, Brandon.
