What counts as oldies music?
On American radio, "oldies" usually means popular music from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s: rock and roll, doo-wop, girl groups, the British Invasion, Motown and soul. As the years go by, many stations have moved their playlists forward into the 70s and 80s and call the format "classic hits".
The stations here cover both. Some stay with the 50s and 60s; others play classic hits from the 60s to the 80s. Their names and tags usually tell you which.
Oldies stations from the US and beyond
Most stations at the top of the list are American, including local FM and AM oldies stations that also stream online. You can hear a station from another city the same way you would at home. Further down are stations from the UK, Canada and other countries, which often mix in their own local hits.
For the next decade of hits, try 80s radio. In the holiday season, Christmas music radio has many of the same singers.
Oldies radio stations: frequently asked questions
What radio station plays oldies near me?
Many US cities still have an oldies or classic hits station on FM or AM, and several of them are in this list, since they also stream online. You do not need to be nearby: their streams play anywhere.
Are these oldies stations free?
Yes. Every station here is free to play, with no account. Local stations play the same ads as on air.
What is the difference between oldies and classic hits?
Oldies stations focus on the 1950s and 1960s. Classic hits stations play later songs, mostly from the 70s and 80s. Many stations sit somewhere in between.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. The radio plays in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
Why does a station not play?
Internet stations go offline now and then, change their stream address, or block listeners outside their country. The list is checked before each update, but a stream can still fail. Press Next station to move on; the failed one is marked as offline until you reload the page.
Can I keep listening with my screen off?
Usually, yes. On most phones the audio keeps playing when you lock the screen, and you can stop it from the lock screen controls. Some phones pause web audio to save battery; keeping the browser tab open helps.
Where do the stations come from?
From Radio Browser, a free, community-run index of internet radio stations. We keep only stations that stream over a secure (https) link and answered a test connection when the list was last updated. The audio comes straight from each station to you; it never passes through this site.
