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 remained in the top spot with "Last Dance", which received 42 votes out of the 224 cast. And this week she will be challenged by ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), Jackie DeShannon and ABBA.
1) "Last Dance"/Donna Summer (Last Week #1, Week 5) - #10 the week of August 26, 1978
2) "Downtown"/Petula Clark (LW #3, W32) - 15 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1964-65
