April 4th 1970

Simon & Garfunkel ruled the charts

(A couple of corrections.)

Number 20 the artist should be The Friends of Distinction, not Real Friends.

Number 9 should be Come and Get It, not If You Want It.

(from Wikipedia)
Springsteen's long-awaited and highly-anticipated live album generated advance orders of more than 1.5 million copies, making it the largest dollar-volume pre-order in the history of the record business at the time
Live/1975–85 is the second-best-selling live album in U.S. history based on RIAA certification. It has been certified by the RIAA for 13x platinum, trailing only Garth Brooks' Double Live. This figure reflects the RIAA practice of counting each disc in a multi-disc set as a separate unit sold; the actual number of copies sold is instead slightly over 4 million. Based on albums sold, Live/1975–85 also trails Peter Frampton's Frampton Comes Alive! (6 million) and Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band's Live Bullet (5 million) among best-selling live albums. The box set's sales performance attracted considerable media attention at the time, first for setting records during the 1986 holiday shopping period, then later for fizzling out in sales in early 1987, leaving many retailers overstocked

#1 Song of the Week

This week our #1 is "Babe" by Styx.

From December of 1979 and it spent 2 weeks at #1.  Originally not part of the album "Cornerstone" ,the other band members convinced Dennis Deyoung to add it to the demo of the album.   Tommy Shaw then added the guitar solo and this went on to be Styx first and to date only #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It also helped send the album to #2 on the Billboard album chart.
