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.
