Music Charts - 4/19/1975

Continuing yesterday’s music theme of what Hot-100 songs I have on my ipod…. Today (4/19) was the day the charts came out in 1975, so let’s look at that. I was kind of surprised yesterday when I had 26 of the 100 songs from this week in 1970. Well, that’s nothing compared to 1975. I’ve got a whopping 33 songs from this week, exactly 1/3 the list! And a pretty cool week it was! I made a playlist, and have been listening today. So, what songs from 4/19/75 are on my iPod? Just these:

• Autobahn – Kraftwerk (#29)

I’ve got some great memories associated with many of these songs. Spring of my first year in High School, Spring Break with family in Winston-Salem, NC, travelling to games (with the Freshman Baseball team)….  Oh yeah, both the Pet Rock and the Mood Ring were conceived splash in April, 1975.
