Each week I feature 10 groovy tunes that reached the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart during the last 50+ years. You can vote for your three favorites, and the five with the most votes move on to the following week when five new songs will be added to the list.
Last week ABBA claimed the top spot with "Take a Chance on Me", which received 40 votes out of the 250 cast. And this week they will be challenged by Olivia Newton-John, the 5th Dimension and Donna Summer's "Last Dance", the Academy Award-winning Best Song from the 1978 film, Thank God It's Friday.
1) "Take a Chance on Me"/ABBA (Last Week #2, Week 3) - #17 the week of July 29, 1978
2) "Time After Time"/Cyndi Lauper (LW #4, W8) - #53 the week of July 28, 1984
3) "Express Yourself"/Madonna (W2) - #3 the week of July 29, 1989
4) "The Rose"/Bette Midler (LW #5, W3) - #10 the week of July 26, 1980

How sad is it that NEITHER of Karen & Richard's songs made it through this week?!?
In the end, I'm voting for ABBA, Petula and Olivia.
