Jason, known as DJ Doveboy, is hoping to play every single chart record since 1952.

A DJ who started a lockdown challenge to play every single chart record since the 1950s says he has developed a world-wide audience.

To date he has played his way from November 1952, when the weekly charts were first published, to 1983.Each of his shows lasts just under four hours and takes listeners through one top 40 chart."I am probably most fond of the 1970s because I did a lot of growing up in the 70s, but I listened to some stuff from the 50s that I'd never heard before and I loved it."

"I get emails from so many different countries, it's mind-blowing to think that someone in Australia is listening to me right now," he said. He said the project had also allowed him to relive moments from his own life - like his move from Kent to Sheffield in September 1975.
