The Ultimate 1970s Top 40 Reshuffle

After two months of going through every top 40 hit of the 70s and deciding what is the best No.1, No.2, No.3 etc, we're down to the final 41. But in what order? That's what we've been deciding.

Here's a reminder of the tracks you've been voting for:

10. David Bowie - Starman
11. Stevie Wonder - Superstition
12. Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)
13. Blondie - Union City Blue
14. Temptations - Papa Was A Rollin' Stone
15. Sly & The Family Stone - Family Affair

18. Carpenters - Superstar/For All We Know
19. Lene Lovich - Say When
20. Commodores - Machine Gun
21. Martha & The Vandellas - Jimmy Mack
22. Boston - More Than A Feeling
23. X Ray Spex - The Day The World Turned Dayglo
24. David Bowie - Heroes
25. Jackie Wilson - (Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher And Higher
26. Aretha Franklin - Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do)
27. Barbra Streisand - Stoney End
28. Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun
29. Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground
30. Staple Singers - I'll Take You There
31. Undertones - Teenage Kicks
32. Natalie Cole - This Will Be
33. Jackson 5 - Never Can Say Goodbye
34. Undertones - Here Comes The Summer
35. The Clash - Clash City Rockers
36. Jeff Wayne's The War Of The Worlds - Eve Of The War

38. Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK
39. Evelyn 'Champagne' King - Shame
40. The Jam - In The City
