If you judged solely by the pop charts, nobody would claim 1978 to be a banner year for music. Our glance at the top 10 chart for this week 30 years ago is a sad sight to see. Thankfully, albums provided significant relief from the stultifying morass of nonsense that dominated the top 40.
It was an era of transformation, with ‘New Wave’ music trying desperately (and mostly failing) to gain a foothold on the charts, while artists with crossover appeal managed to do quite well. As a result, this is one of the most ridiculously eclectic shows we’ve ever compiled. Enjoy??
Here’s a list of songs featured in today’s program;
1) Baby Come Back – Player
2) How Deep Is Your Love – The Bee Gees
