What Was On Top?
Pink Floyd stayed on top for a third consecutive week with "Another Brick In The Wall." The classic written by bassist Roger Waters is the band's only number one song as well as their only top ten song.
The Spinners held at the #2 spot with "Working My Way Back To You" - a remake of a 1966 hit by the Four Seasons. "Call Me" by Blondie moved two spots closer to the top and settled in at #3, while Queen slipped one more spot to #4 with their former number one song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love."
Kool and the Gang moved up from #7 to #5 with "Too Hot" and returned to the top five for the first time since "Jungle Boogie" in 1973.
What Were The Big Movers?
Modest moves within the top 40 were led by two songs jumping six notches each: "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel (#23 to #17) and "Think About Me" by Fleetwood Mac (#34 to #28).
Two songs shared the biggest leap within the chart by moving up 18 spots. "Breakdown Dead Ahead" by Boz Scaggs moved from #65 to #47 in its second week. The other was the instrumental "The Seduction" by James Last Band which moved from #85 to #67 in its second week as well.
"I Can't Help It" by Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John made a nice thirteen-notch jump in its second week from #63 to #50.
Four songs all had the biggest drop for week (39 notches). They were "September Morn," "Back On My Feet Again," "Romeo's Tune," and "What I Like About You."
What Was New?
There were ten debut songs, and the biggest (coming in at #60) was the future top three hit "Biggest Part Of Me" by Ambrosia. The band was last on the chart in 1978 with "How Much I Feel."
Of the remaining debut songs, only "We Live For Love" by Pat Benatar would reach the top 40. The other new songs were "Lucky Me" by Anne Murray, "When The Feeling Comes Around" by Jennifer Warnes, "White Hot" by Red Rider, "The Good Lord Loves You" by Neil Diamond, "Can't Put A Price On Love" by The Knack, "Solitaire" by Peter McIan, "Don't Push It Don't Force It" by Leon Haywood, and "Scandal" by RCR.
