Most Popular Song Each Month in the 70s

Updated thoughts about the videos of this channel are in the pinned comment, posted on April 30, 2024.

Old description:

In this video, you'll see the most popular songs throughout each month in the 70s. The tunes selected for this video are the ones that reached #1 or at least ranked higher in more countries than other hits in the same month, but it's not very accurate since many of them were number one for different periods, and I didn't want to repeat any song.

Mostly based on Wikipedia charts.

After reading hundreds of comments trying to guess the country, I must say: It's not about the US or the UK. It's a mix of many countries and none in particular.

I'm not a native English speaker, and for most of my life before creating this channel, I didn't care about the lyrics in the music I listened to. But song lyrics have been slowly adding to the destruction of our society for decades. The fact that a bad idea sounds musically pleasing doesn't make it a good idea. Addictions, crime, promiscuity, divorces, revenge, telling lies, cursing, swearing, hating, making idols, taking lives before birth, and many other destructive behaviors have been spread and normalized for years through most of the things we consider entertaining. Be careful of the messages you let into your life.

Some people need to know that there is scientific proof that God exists. Causality and the principle of sufficient reason, to mention some, are accepted as universal, basically stating that everything has a cause and nothing appears by itself. Everything in the universe is subject to cause and effect, but whoever created the universe does not necessarily have to: if there was ever a time in the beginning where there was nothing, wouldn’t there still be nothing? Then it’s wise to admit that something or someone must have always existed, causing the existence of everything else.

Some people have been able to explain it better than I can, so I will just cite one of the clearest presentations of the gospel I have ever read, published by Living Waters in the Million Dollar Bill:

THE MILLION-DOLLAR QUESTION: Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Matthew 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemous, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there’s good news. Though we broke God’s Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds (it’s no fairytale). He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Ephesians 2:8-9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized. Visit NeedGod.com and LivingWaters.com

MY GOD! The Bee-Gees and ABBA dominated the late 70's. I was in my teens during that era and never realized how dominate they were. AH, the good old days!

[MZACK-chjv]

I call the 60's, 70's and 80's music's golden generation. They have some of the greatest that we have today

I was 40 years old in 1970 and I used to live in New York City in a 2 bedroom apartment with my beautiful wife that I married in ‘56 but she sadly passed away last October, I will say the 70s was my best decades of my entire life and I had a lot of fun back then! I’m now a retired 92 year old veteran and many things changed from now and then, I hope I make it to be one of the oldest individuals in the planet. Thank you!

This is the music of my childhood. My dad was only 22 when I was 5, in 1970. I grew up loving his music, singing along to the car radio with him, or 33s, and listening to him play guitar and banjo. He was also an artist, but gave up art school, when I came along and he was only 17. Lost him in 2020 to Covid. I miss you so much, Dad. <3

To be born in the late 40s and experience the innocence of the 50s, rebelliousness of the 60s and the energy and colour of the 70s would be an indescribable luxury

[madelyn]

I’m 15 and I, obviously, didn’t grow up in the 70s… but even I say the music of the era is TIMELESS. I love this video, and let me just say most of the songs in it have made their way into my playlist🫶

[happykt]

the 1970s was my favorite decade for music by a landslide. most of these tunes came out when I was age 7 to 17. Everything was so joyous, different, and harmonious.

[JasonGabler]

Wow, seeing it this way makes me realize how much ABBA and the Bee Gees dominated the back half or so of the 1970s. It's also interesting how 1979 shows a clear shift happening in pop music.

[mattlaughed]

The way these songs are produced, and the equipment they used really give this era an iconic and unmistakable sound.

[Ajaxxgopw]

AWESOME stroll down memory lane. A few I didn't know, but was not surprised how Paul McCartney, the Bee Gees, ABBA and Elton John dominated. What a decade. LOVED IT!

[NTQ.]

Im now 71., but still feeling young while listening these pieces. Love them all. Thanks for uploading.

[WadeKingston]

I was 15 when the 70s began and 25 when they ended, so you can imagine how much I loved this music.

[cunard]

It's amazing that Fleetwood Mac produced one of the greatest and best selling albums of the 20th century in 1977 with their release of Rumours. This record even won the Grammy for Album of the Year, and yet, at no time during 1977, or 78, was a song from this album the most popular in any given month.

[Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Elton John, Abba, Bee Gees - Andy Gibb, Boney M, Paul McCartney, did quite well in the 70s. Great decade for music. Tons of huge hits. I still listen to Donna Summer I feel love regularly.

[aaronjenkins]

You can really feel the 80s vibe creeping in during 79

Just listened to the 60s and 70s collections - The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis, Abba and The Bee Gees dominated two decades. Great memories.

[chrisvesy]

Hearing those songs took me through long forgotten emotions I felt at the time they were hits back in High School...I had no idea they were stored in the back of my brain 🤯

[brendajolley]

Now this is really my era, I grew up and what better backdrop of music could I ask for than these. I got my first job after college and pit this music on my list of greats. GUESS WHAT THEY ARE STILL ON MY LIST. Just retired but still know these words with this music. Thank you to the 70’s, it was and continues to be great.
