The Telegraph has launched a series called Music of the Decades, beginning with a ranking of the 30 best songs of the 1950s, chosen by chief music critic Neil McCormick. The project promises to move decade by decade, eventually arriving at an all-time top 50.

The pitch frames the 1950s as the dawn of the modern pop age, spanning Elvis Presley to Ray Charles. No further detail on the actual rankings was provided beyond the premise and the critic's credentials.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.
