The Ultimate 1970s Top 40 Reshuffle Rate - Part 3

 

A few years ago, many "Ultimate" retro Top 40 rates took place. I completed the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s and started the 00s. I decided to take a bit of a break for a couple of months which turned into a couple of years. So, I think it's time to pick up where I left off. The 00s Top 40 rates will re-start next year (I'm in the process of listing every Top 40 hit still). In the meantime, let's add some more tracks to the Buzzjack Retro Top 40 Hall Of Fame which, so far, is home to these:

 

A-ha - Take On Me

Black Box - Ride On Time

Dionne Warwick - Walk On By

Donna Summer - I Feel Love

Human League - Don't You Want Me

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights

Madonna - Frozen

Madonna - Ray Of Light

The Source ft Candi Staton - You Got The Love

 

To do this, it's back to the old rates. First up was the 1990s where Madonna's 1998 No.1 Frozen was declared the winner, followed by The Human League's Don't You Want Me for the 80s. Next up, it's the 1970s, and the tracks which came third in their respective rates.
