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 and Donna Summer shared the top spot with their songs, "Take a Chance on Me" and "Last Dance", which both received 23 votes out of the 143 cast. And this week they will be challenged by Neil Diamond, Stevie Wonder and the theme from the 1981-83 TV series, The Greatest American Hero.
