Music Charts - 4/21/1979

For those of you who’ve noticed, my music posting recently has centered around songs from the Hot 100 “this week in 197x”… This week looking at what songs I was listening to, as judged by what songs are on my iPod. The charts were released on 4/21 two different years in the seventies: 1973 and 1979. For today’s post, I decided to go with 1979, if only because it is a smaller list. I have well over 1/3 of the Hot 100 for this week in 1973, and “only” 19 songs for the week of 4/21/1979. So 1979 it is! The songs on my iPod from the Hot 100 this week in 1979:


 
  • Big Shot - Billy Joel (#94)
  • Crazy Love - Allman Brothers (# 33)
  • Crazy Love – Poco (#88)
  • Dancin' Fool - Frank Zappa (#80 )
  • Good Times Roll – Cars (#44)
  • Goodnight Tonight - Paul McCartney (# 11)
  • Heart Of Glass – Blondie (#3)
  • Hot Stuff - Donna Summer (#79 )
  • I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor (# 2)
  • Lady - Little River Band (#17)
  • Love You Inside Out - Bee Gees (#37)
  • Renegade - Styx (#29)
  • Roxanne – Police (#34)
  • Rubber Biscuit - Blues Brothers (#97)
  • Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (#10)
  • The Logical Song - Supertramp (#48)
  • Tragedy - Bee Gees (#8)
  • What A Fool Believes - Doobie Brothers (#5)
  • When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman - Dr. Hook (#83)

Musically, it wasn’t a bad week, but not as memorable as some from earlier this week. A few songs that I only have a part of collectionsAnd where was I in April of 1979?   I was finishing up my Freshman Year of college, "enjoying" dorm life, spring in North North Carolina...  all that 18 year-old good stuff.
