70s Music Chart January 28th 1978

fantasy island 216x300 70s Music Chart January 28th 1978In the U.S. the Sci Fi series called Fantasy Island Aired on Television. Many people probably remember Fantasy Island-especially those who grew up in the 1980s. The first episode of this show actually aired in 1978.

This show featured a guide known to have angelic qualities. This guide took people to an imaginary Island-one that they would want to go to, where their fantasies were to be fulfilled. However, even though this was a great opportunity, guests of Fantasy Island would pay as much as $50,000 dollars to benefit from this chance to escape.
In the 1970s charts in the UK we have four brand new entries in the BBC top twenty.

No. 20

As Time Goes By by Dooley Wilson

No. 19

    I am one of those baby boomer's, who had the pleasure, and the FUN to grow up in the amazing 1970s. The 70s music was so diverse, and the charts were for everyone from 8 to 80. That was when POP was fun, and the top forty really meant something as it was a shared experience. I have tried in this site to bring back the memories of the 70s, not just the pure pop, but also the heavy guys like Floyd and Black Sabbath. Everything had a place in the music of the 70s, and everything has a memory for one of us 1970s boomers.
