Top 10 Tuesday of Groovy Tunes: What's New Pussycat?
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 Donna Summer claimed the top spot with "Last Dance", which received 23 votes out of the 121 cast. ABBA, Cyndi Lauper and Madonna tied for fourth place, allowing them all to remain on the list. And this week they will be challenged by Tom Jones and his 1965 hit, "What's New Pussycat?"
