Billboard Top 5 from July 10th 1976
>>130877282One classic and four bland chart filler tunes.
>>130877282ugh, just terrible.
>>130877282Drake won
Literally who?
>>130877282Starland Vocal Band? They suck!
>>130877282I read someone's opinion somewhere that you knew the pop scene was in a major slump when covers of better older songs were doing better on the charts than the new stuff.
also one of them was a ten year old Beatles song
>>130877528About pot
>>130877528More More More and Love Is Alive are classics. Silly Love Songs is ok and the rest are filler.
>>130877528There was a little bit of a Beatles revival going on in the US in 1976. They had never really fallen out of the public consciousness in America like they had in Britain in the 1970s, but Paul and Wings going on a massive stadium tour where they played old Beatles songs for the first time in years unleashed a wave of nostalgia. Also Capitol/EMI regained the rights to band's catalog after Apple closed down and started exploiting it like crazy.
>>130877622Uhh Hall & Oates??
>>130877632Wings were mostly targeted at American audiences anyway. I'm well aware that narratives of the punk movement all have those musicians talking about how anything connected to the 60s was seen as outdated rubbish the punks wanted to put in the trash.
>>130877647Wings had deeper roots in the UK than people realize. They didn’t tour America at all until this year and before that had exclusively played small college dates in Britain, and let’s not forget that Mull of Kintyre was the highest selling British single in history at one point while not even making a dent in America, all while the punk revolution was raging.
>>130877622more more more was sung by a pornstar
>>130877282afternoon d was my jam.
>>130877282this is why chart performance means literally nothing. yeah they sold a lot and were popular in their time but in retrospect nobody fucking cares
