What are your top 5 Billboard top 10 songs of the 1970"s?


As many agree the 1970’s had the best pop music of any recorded era, I thought it would be very interesting to see what Audiogon members have to say about this. I know 5 is tough but I did not want to make this post too long winded. As always I appreciate your time and selections. My top 5 are...


#1 Baker Street-Gerry Rafferty 1978 #2
#2 Summer Breeze-Seals & Crofts. 1972 #6
#3 American Pie-Don Mclean. 1972 #1
#4 Ricki Don’t Lose That Number. 1974 #4
#5 Miracles-Jefferson Starship. 1975 #3

Yes there are many great songs I could have placed here but this is my list for 8/18/21. Look forward to your responses!

A true heavyweight single was Hey Jude! Yes it was released in August '68 but it held the record No.1 for nine weeks on the Billboard Top 100. A record that stood for 9 years into the 70's! The Beatles hold the record for most No.1 singles!
The OP wants the Top 5 or 10 songs of the 70's on the Billboard chart! NOT the songs you remember fondly!
I included Hey Jude because its record of nine straight weeks at No.1 stood until 1977! That's the Disco era!
