Arlequin has been selling records on Rue du Chêne since the 1980s, which makes it one of the oldest shops still trading in Brussels, though no source we could find publishes the exact year. It sells across rock, reggae and French chanson rather than specialising, which is the older model of what a city record shop is for and part of why it has lasted. There is a second Arlequin counter in Saint-Gilles
