British Hit Singles 1979, US Hits 1979

 

Links and track list in the post below

1979 is the last year in the series. Several fantastic songs, also lots of trashy music that does not stand the time test and does not belong to this blog. Only 7’’ Single Edits are included.

Parts 1-11: UK Chart, all Top 40 entries in chronological order (no EPs and re-issues) & selected 40+

Part 12: 40+ cont. + uncharted + flips – my subjective selection and the best part to me

Parts 13,14: US Top 20 and other minor US hits

The already posted files contain all US Top 20 hits, released also in the UK. I have decided to add some more hits from Hot 100 - my subjective selection. I’ve been selecting rather hits that are a continuation of the music from the 1960s, not representing new trends of the 1970s.
