Thank you Francis for an insight on the charts 45 years ago. Surprised that Robert Palmer song wasn't a big hit. Vladimir Coska the first ever Romanian to make the UK chart. Interesting cover by Billie-Jo Spears there. Telex would go on to represent Belgium in Eurovision 1980. Keeping with the Eurovision link, Nancy Dee was backing singer for Belgium in 1979 and was set to sing the Belgian entry as the performer chosen hated the song. She reconsidered by the big night. Excellent list of songs here. All genres and styles represented 👍 My favourite is the beautiful 'Stay With Me 'Til Dawn' by Judie Tzuke. A unique ballad and a gorgeous voice by an underrated singer. I also like ABBA, Queen, The Specials, Donna Summer, Sister Sledge, Gary Numan, The B-52s, Roxy Music, The Crusaders ft Randy Crawford, Telex and of course AC/DC.

Thanks a lot for doing this I like when you do old stuff like this :)! amazing channel one of the most original! I like the subjective aspect and don't pretending best or greatest just singles charts and that's all!

The 2 tone movement from the specials and madness alongside the rock punk new wave soul electric and the disco movement

Neat stuff! I turned 18 that summer. My picks for the most musically distinctive songs are Cars and Rock Lobster.

Some gems in there! I'd recently returned too the UK from abroad after two years. Wow what a shift in style from disco too post punk and Mod/ska. Was well out the look and got mocked by some kids. Not good as a fourteen year old. Soon court up though.
