This week in 1977 (week of February 26,1977)
Go Your Own Way was moving up the charts at #14.
The Eagles were #1 with New Kid In Town. I think Hotel California was the #1 album soon to be replaced by Rumours.
OMG this chart is amazing. Most of the songs on this chat you still hear today every day. This was a moment in time right before Saturday Night Fever. Rock bands still sort of ruled the charts with Disco sprinkled in. Once Saturday Night Fever was released Disco sort of took over for the next 2 years.
