hmm....its pretty sameish, in as much that theres nothing much to hate, but likewise nothing much to 'love'... most tracks were pretty 'safe' , nice, pleasant enough pop.

 

i think beck and donovan 'barabajagal' and marmalades 'baby make it soon' were my favs.

 

good chart...

A real mish-mash of styles in the charts at this time. 'Serious' rock was becoming an album market and pop was looking around for something new. I guess glam would be the next major pop style a couple of years later.
