1997, ultimo gran año de la música

Wish we could go back, life was simple

You certainly produce some good clips Steveh,many thanks i almost forget i was young once

Great memories, Lots that are never played anymore and some that are just weird. lol.

Mike Batt, number one. Whodathunk. Fair play.

The 70s best era for music

Actually 1974 and 5 were my favourite years and it was great to watch once again so thanks again

Lee Brennan is my first love when I was a kid hahahaha

Hard to believe a lot of these ponces came 'after' punk.

A good year. Thank you for the music.

I dont miss those freezing winters with one coal fire and an outside toilet

I didn’t notice Status Quo in there who had their only number 1 with Down Down or Bachman Turner overdrive, You ain’t seen nothin yet or Bad Company, Can’t get enough….

I remember going to Holyhead with my mum in 1978. She bought a copy of "You Can't Give Me Love" and left it on the parcel shelf of the car to do the rest of the shopping. By the time we got home, it had melted!! It had warped in the sun but strangely enough, it still played. Try melting a CD or memory stick and see if it still plays. Parents probably still have that and the top two from this year in their collection somewhere.

Such a shame that Rolf Harris destroyed his legacy. I wasn't a year old until August of that year but grew up watching his amazing painting skills on TV.

The nostalgia kick I got from these. 1979 was the year I bought my first singles with my own money. I always thought Are Friends Electric was the first one I bought but a little while ago I saw something that said that Bright Eyes was released first. I was 9. Both would likely have been bought from Woolworths in Holyhead.

Their best song. Surprisingly beautiful. The brass section and harmonies take the band to a new level.

68 now and I can sing along with every song

Gary Glitter I know he did wrong but I loved his music. Used to go to the Gary Giltter gang show at the nec in Birmingham

It's easy to forget just how massive Blondie were.

thanks for bringing back such wonderful memories, the world was a better place to live then, and people cared for each other then. not like today where the priority is to kill each other. ☹

How the f did we go from the ultra cool Madonna to the ultra cheesy and cringeworthy Kylie and Sonia ? WTAF?

Yiu know it’s a crazy good year when Material Girl barely get to the top 50. Jennifer Rush had the superior version of POL that Celine later ruined

Wow . Nos. 50-100 could easily be 1-50. So many classics. Then we get the Birdy Song …

You know it was one hell of a year when Chiquitita only makes number 16 and Gimme Gimme Gimme number 28

Was that 'Musical Youth' singing with Donna Summer at 18:17 ?

So many classics. How many ‘classics’ from today will we be listening to in 45 years time ??

That was great thoroughly enjoy this! Some embarrassing ones I bought as a kid have cropped up here, (YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHICH ONES!!!!) but also some that I still like now!! Sadly no mention of the superb follow up to Heartache Avenue by The Maisonettes called “Where I Stand” (the missus told me to write that, she’s holding the gun to my head as i’m typing this! Help!!!)

You’re saying his surname wrong , it’s not pronounced McCowan !

I was 16 in 1981 and that’s always a pivotal year in anyone’s life above all their musical education. Ultravox, The Human League, Soft Cell, The Specials and similar bands are still remembered but there was a fair amount of dross in that year that is now happily forgotten.

There are some real gems here such as The Sparks, Queen, George McCrae and Carl Douglas but also some real rubbish above all The Wombles and The Bay City Rollers. Without doubt the British charts get better in quality towards the end of the 70s.

Thank you for pulling this together! Very Uk centric and brings back so many happy and vivid memories. Would be amazing if you could share the Top uk 100 or even Top 150 for 1978. My other favourite years were 1977 and 1979 - happy days! Thank you so much.

The best year for music being a kid.. the only tragedies in this top 200 compilation are that Tanita Tikaram's Twist in my Sobriety and Ofra Haza's Im Nin Alu aren't in it. Great memories though...

My favourite year,left school in 79,there was so many different genres of music to listen to. Had our final school disco at a local club,danced a final dance with a girl called Rae to Tubeway Army,never seen her since!!!

Love Spreads by the Stone Roses should have been in there as that reached No.2 that weekend

Oh be still my heart when Freddie Mercury appears before my eyes in that black and white jump suit, and didn’t Elton John put anything out that year?

Carpenters beats all easily.

I turned 8 that year and I remember just about every one of these songs.

Absolutely wonderful video countdown ... I feel like I'm 10 years old again 😍thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to 77, 78 and 79

Thanks for this. Enjoyed it alot

Good music!

June 2004 during zombie apocalypse

1986 só teve grandes músicas tocaram muito no radio 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I was an upand coming scrambles star Best days of my life

Lots of songs that are never shown. Fantastic

Number 11 Stewart Copeland 😁

Thanks for taking the time and effort to do this. Loved it, brought back so many empties and some forgotten songs 👍😬

Does this mean 1980, 1981 and 1982 are going to be 200 songs long eventually? Woohoo if yes!

Fantastic!

You are a pure genius
