No such thing as good and bad. Just what you like or don't. Can't imagine there was EVER a top 40 where someone has loved every song.

There was more variety that's for sure that year and songs that where attracting a broader age range.

1978 and 1979 both have some very strong number one singles reaching number, with a few cheesy bits thrown in.

1984 had the strongest run of number hits that I had personally can ever remember-although there where a couple of weak links as well.

Sales in 1979 and 1984 where huge overall( 6 songs selling a million plus alone in 1984 and at least 3 in 1979-they can only dream of those days now)

Every year has good an bad in its charts.

In 20 years someone will start a thread on here saying "Remember 2011 when all the #1s were brilliant", and then some kid will go "lol. Someone Like You and Swagger Jagger suck!".
