I love the disco of 1979! And The Dooleys’ ‘Wanted’ is a terrific song too. After the consistently strong charts of 1978, the seventies certainly ended on a high with 1979
This chart captured the last days of disco music and a bunch of new stuff (new wave, post-punk, technopop ... ) that would mark the beginning of the 80's.
Wow! I actually like almost EVRY single song! 😃❤️🎶🎸🎤 pop, rock, punk, new wave, Disco, powerpop etc….amazing catchy melodic Music! But these days the charts are just bad….My favourite: Dave Edmunds: girl talk 😃❤️🎶
It entered somewhere low down the Top 75 on the chart first aired on Tuesday 24th April (w/e* 28th April),then entered the Top 40 at number 31 in the chart first aired on Tuesday 1st May (w/e 5th May). The following week it jumped to number 15,then fell back to 19,jumped up again to 9 before peaking at 7. * w/e stands for "week ending" and is always a Saturday. The Top 40 of the new chart was actually first broadcast on Radio 1 at lunchtime on a Tuesday,four days earlier. This played the songs at numbers 5,4,3 and 2 in that order,then the disc jockey (Paul Burnett at that time) read through the entire Top 40 from bottom to top before playing the number 1. Over the next hour (from 1pm until 2pm) all the new entries and climbers would be played. For those out at work or school and unable to catch it,another rundown of the new Top 40 (from bottom to top,playing the new entires,climbers and number 1) was on Radio 1 for an hour from 6pm on Tuesday evening and again on the breakfast show on Wednesday morning. If the new chart came out directly after a Bank Holiday (i.e. New Year,Easter,May Day,Whitsun and last week of August) the first reveal of the chart was shifted back a day to Wednesday lunchtime instead of the Tuesday. The Top 30 was at the start of each edition of Top of the Pops on Thursday evening (would be expanded to Top 40 in the changed format from the early 80s). Finally,there was the Sunday rundown of the Top 40 from 4 pm until 7pm. This played all the new entries and climbers from 40 up to 21 and then the Top 20 in full. That format lasted until late September 1987,when advances in information technology enabled the reveal of the new chart to be shifted forward from Tuesday to the Sunday rundown.
70s Scorpions with Uli Jon Roth is best Scorpions - see Virgin Killer and Taken by Force. After he left their stuff is still good through 1982's Blackout. I don't bother with anything after that.
Love, Love, LOVE 'Night Owl'!

Wow! So The Scorpions did do some good stuff before the horrific Wind Of bloody Change (can't STAND that!)

How I hated that Patrick Hernandez song! Happy it only scraped into the top 10. I quite like it now though!
