The 1970s saw the development and blossoming of various musical styles, including funk, disco, punk, and metal – Top 100 songs of 1970s. And, while many people can create their own list of the “top 100” songs from that decade, I decided to take a different approach. This is for individuals who remember growing up listening to music in the 1970s, as well as those who were born in the 1990s but did not hear the music firsthand!
The following are the Nolan Method’s Top 100 Songs of the 1970s. These charts, which vary by decade, are based on the best-selling and most popular songs heard on Top 40 radio stations in the United States. The chart is calculated from airplay statistics supplied to Billboard by radio stations, followed by single sales, music downloads, and streaming. The Nolan Method ranking system, developed by lead Top40Weekly contributor Jarrett Nolan, is based on a point system for an artist’s chart performance on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. Check out our Year in Music snapshot to see what was going on in the world of Top 40 music this decade. Each overview, written by radio and music industry veteran Ed Osborne, highlights key trends as well as some of the most notable songs and singers who changed the music landscape and filled the Top 40 charts during this decade.
