  • Based on the charts of the UK, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland. I chose a different song for each month to make the countdown more interesting and diverse, despite the fact that in reality a few songs were the most popular ones for 2 or 3 consecutive months.

      ⁠@@rabootocoelhinho5698Sparks is another. Speaking of Suzuki Quatro, it’s a bit puzzling. One would think that promoting her by having her play Leather Tuscarora on Happy Days would have been more than enough to spark interest, but I think the only success she ever had in the US was that duet she did (that I can barely remember).

      There is a difference between singles and albums, in the UK "the sweet" did not have any album in the top 10 in his entire career, Bowie in the 70s had 13 albums in the top 5 in the UK, 3 of them number 1 and another 4 number 2. (in his entire career he had 11 number 1 albums and 36 top 10 albums)

    • @OnlyGoodMusic_
      @OnlyGoodMusic_ Місяць тому +3

      @MarvinGuatemalanBoy Mainly yes, clearly you find Bowie's art in the albums, he can never be judged only by his singles, anyway Bowie had 25 top 10 hits in the UK, among them 5 number 1s, 4 number 2s and 5 numbers 3, so Bowie is all

    My brother and I bought the oldest of these singles in 1972 (Sacramento, Poppa Joe, Beg Steal Or Borrow, Metal Guru, Song Sung Blue, Popcorn, Wig Wam Bam, Block Buster, and others not mentioned here - then we had no more money), and they are still in my closet today. They form the basis of my record collection, which, however, has its focus on the 80s.

      'Tiger Feet' was much bigger and was the second biggest song behind 'Devil Gate Drive' and then 'Seasons in the Sun' in the spring of 1974.

      @@rjjcms1 Yeah, Well in Germany, Honey Honey was a number 2 Hit single selling better than the #1 Waterloo Single and I Do I Do I Do was at #6, so the legend about the 15 month gap of success mainly originates from the UK. Summer Night City was a #6 in Germany and #1 in Sweden, but didn't seem to dominante the Charts in Europe as ABBA was used to do previously. And in this Video it is interesting to see, that, while the 1979 Voulez Vous Album is a great Disco influenced Album, the biggest Hit singles were the non-disco songs Chiquitita and I Have A Dream 😁

      @@stefanzantes8818 Yes,I remember when Summer Night City came out as a single in the UK and started getting radio play at the end of the school summer holidays in 1978,and everyone agreed that it wasn't as good as their previous hits. I agreed with that assessment but it still had something,though,that I liked,a few things really even if my best friend at school disliked it. My mum,who sadly passed away early this year,was German so I've got family there and we used to go and stay there at my grandmother's or aunt and uncle's house,both of which were close to or overlooking the Rhein between Bonn and Koln (Cologne). SOS,which is apparently still the only palindromic name for a hit song by a palindromically-named artist reminds me of the school summer holidays in 1977 when my sister had the album with it,I Do I Do I Do,Ring Ring,etc. on and played it quite a lot and we stayed over there for a fortnight. We seemed to do that every odd-numbered year in the 70s apart from 1973.
      When Voulez Vous came out here in the summer of 1979 we went on one of those fortnight-long stays in Germany during the school summer holidays and at the time I had three cousins there,all girls,who were teenagers and a couple of them were really into discos and disco music,and rollerskated as well. Chiquitita and I Have a Dream got to number 2 at or near opposite ends of 1979 in the UK,and must have shipped the best part of a million sales each,but in between Does Your Mother Know? got to number 4,and first Voulez Vous as a double with Angel Eyes and then Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight) both reached number 3. All in all,another huge year for Abba even without quite getting a number 1 single. The songs that denied Chiquitita and I have a Dream the top spot here were Heart of Glass by Blondie and Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd respectively.

You forgot Cum on feel the noize with Slade in 1973 written by Holder/Lea. But on Glam Metal top 100 of the 80’s Quite Riot was credited for Cum on feel the noize as a big hit which it was but when Slade came out with the original it was even bigger, but probably not in the US
