Top 10 Tuesday of Groovy Tunes: Olivia Newton-John is "Hopelessly Devoted to You"
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 "Waterloo", which received 24 votes out of the 160 cast. And this week they will be challenged by Diana Ross & the Supremes, Cyndi Lauper and Olivia Newton-John.
1) "Waterloo"/ABBA (Week 2) - #24 the week of August 31, 1974
2) "Last Dance"/Donna Summer (LW #1, W6) - #20 the week of September 2, 1978
3) "Time After Time"/Cyndi Lauper (LW #3, W13) - 20 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1984
