- Based on the charts of the UK, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland. I chose a different song for each month to make the countdown more interesting and diverse, despite the fact that in reality a few songs were the most popular ones for 2 or 3 consecutive months.

The Sweet, ABBA, Boney M and the Bee Gees, great memories
True
If u remember it u wernt there peace or is that racicist homaphobic or anti lesbian
Yes the sun shined every day
I find the transition between January and February 1976 hilarious. Thanks for making
How could he resist it?
I remember most of these songs from childhood. 70s music is fun. There were so many original songs created in the 70s.
Absolutely timeless decade of music! Well done
First Queen with Bohemian Rhapsody (Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia) followed by Mamma Mia by Abba - Nice one ;)
Mamma Mia 👍👏👏
What a trip down memory lane
I'm proud to be a European, despite not being around in the 70's, I grew up with all of these tracks, thanks to my mother's music taste.
Another magic playlist!!! Thank you!!!
Wow. The Sweet were very popular.
Shocking what happened to the singer.
First glam rock band ever
Sweet till 1975 then started Abba and Bee Gees
Here in America Sweet only have like two major hits. I am surprised that they were so popular in Europe
@@MarvinGuatemalanBoyseveral bands and artists had many hits in Europe and UK, but in the USA they had little or no hits, a few examples are T. Rex, The Sweet, Bay City Rollers, Modern Talking, Sandra and Suzi Quatro
6:10 The start of the disco era. 😍
Duck n chipendales
Born in 71, this decade speaks more to my soul than 80‘s….
Born in 1960, more to _me_ than the '80s, or '90s, though I like '60s too, and '50s.
I was born in 1986 but my most favorite music is from 1965 to 1975
I have learnt so much about music history thanks to your channel. I loved seeing all the fashions and enjoyed the music. Thank you.
This took some work. Very well done!
1975 - 1985 was the best 10 year stretch in popular music history. Fight me.
That's True !
Nah.. 1781 - 1791 Er war so pupular
What a cracking list of songs. Once again SRG , thank you.
I am not European (and I don't know a lot of songs on the list) but ABBA will always be my favorite 70s band. They are amazing
❤❤❤❤❤Tears to my eyes listening to all these GOLDEN OLDIES ....remember them all
Sad and WONDERFUL MEMORIES
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
OH MY YOUTH...WHERE DID ITGO ???? Nothing as good as those days ❤❤.😭😭😭😭😭
How many classics are in this compilation 😊😊😊thanks for a terrific upload SRG 😊🎉❤
THE MUSIC SELECTION IS VERY GOOD. I'M GLAD YOU INCLUD BEE GEES, THERE WOULDN'T BE A DISCO ERA WITHOUT THEM . I 'LOVE BEE GEES ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great selection. Europe has good taste in music. I imagine the American list would be very different.
Yes, very American and British centered
@@MarvinGuatemalanBoy I was being polite. I meant not as good. European charts have better music.
Amazing decade
Sweet as the Thumbnail. Should be interesting
One of the best bands
Love these compilations, such nostalgia. So happy to have had this music accompany my childhood.
Can you believe i have from ALL of this songs a vinyl single?❤🩹
классный экскурс,всё перед глазами,всех помню,есть жемчужины,о есть.
Sweet! 😍
Точно!))
Born in 1999 in Europe but a big fan of older music. I really wish I was born 25 years earlier to be able to enjoy the bangers of 70s and 80s in my prime. Also, I don't understand why disco died as a music genre, we need it back. We also desperately need groups such as Abba, Bee Gees, the Sweet and Queen again. Great video
Disco died because it was shite !
70s Studio54 NY Gia Carangi 💛 Halston ❤
There are so many songs by Slade and Sweet 😮 And generally this is a very rockish compilation
they forgot Gary Glitter
@@user-kh4ih3bp9y He'll always be forgotten.
И до сих пор - лучшее!!
Thank you Random ❤
Great video, superb selection. Thks SRG
11:31 Best Christmas Song!!
I miss Christmas now...😢
One of the best you've ever done!!! Thank you!!!
I love music from the 70s. ❤👏👏👏
1970, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1978 are the best. All songs are great.
Все так, але чомусь автор записав Богемську рапсодію в 76 рік.
Makes you wonder what The Beatles and The Stones thought of all these new glam rock bands making them look plain in comparison...
The musicians of the 70s really surpassed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in my opinion.
Rather they sounds borrow in comparison with 50\60s
Great collection
Great selection of my favorite decade 😊
The Three Horsemen of Disco conquered Europe in the second half of the 70s. 😊 The first is ABBA, the second is Boney M., and the third is the Bee Gees.
By the way, which of these three do you like best?
I love these three super iconic 70s bands, but ABBA will always be my #1
Great as always!
Blessed times. ABBA, Boney M, Donna Summer, Slade, Sweet & etc. were rising & blossoming. Long Live the Music!
The Sweet what a great band but the 2 songs that are missing were my favourite's the Sixteens and Hell Raiser
I am surprised how many" the sweet "songs were popular in the early 70s , but no bowie songs.
There is a difference between singles and albums, in the UK "the sweet" did not have any album in the top 10 in his entire career, Bowie in the 70s had 13 albums in the top 5 in the UK, 3 of them number 1 and another 4 number 2. (in his entire career he had 11 number 1 albums and 36 top 10 albums)
@@OnlyGoodMusic_So "The Sweet" was a singles band, while Bowie was an album artist 😮
@@MarvinGuatemalanBoy Mainly yes, clearly you find Bowie's art in the albums, he can never be judged only by his singles, anyway Bowie had 25 top 10 hits in the UK, among them 5 number 1s, 4 number 2s and 5 numbers 3, so Bowie is all
@@OnlyGoodMusic_ Cool
@@MarvinGuatemalanBoy But Bowie had loads of big hit singles in the UK in the 70s: Space Oddity (#1),Starman,The Jean Genie,Life on Mars,Rebel Rebel,Golden Years and Sound and Vision among others all made at least the Top 10,and most of those Top 3.
Wow,great selection! I was lucky to be a teenager in the 70,s.😊
0:30 sounds like he has impressive vocals.
Some of those best songs came from 1978 alone.
Wonderful memories
Great selection
Love the70tis forever
You do such great compilations....keep up the good work! 👍😎
And again there's Carl Douglas
I was Kung Fu fighting!
Fast as lightning.
1:23 It sounds like that one Christmas song, lol.
Lots of Eurovision songs included❤❤
Ozzy,Tommy,Geezer and Bill giving birth Heavy Metal
SUUPPPEEEERRRRR!!!!!! Według mnie najlepsze kawałki...Oczywiście SWEET ...mój ulubiony zespół! Bez obrazy - lubię T'REX, SLADE ...i innych😊😄😃👍
Какое было время! Какие были группы!
How Many Are You Going To Upload Best Songs Of 1970, 1971 and 1972 Please
"So, they tell me you go by the name, The 70s. Well, you're good. Very good. But allow me to introduce myself. I'm the 80s and I'm gonna blow you away."
So good list
what is the song in the opening?
Sweet - Action
@@somerandomguy_music thanks yeah just found it actually lol
I wonder where is all that hair nowadays😮
With the exception of Dalida's song, I knew them all.
Hope you had a great Day. 💕
Love your Videos. ❣️
Greetings from Germany. 💞

The Rolling Stones - 1 song of the 6 albums 70-79😢
Late 70s were dominated by BeeGees, Abba and Boney M. But I have to admit, it's the first time I've heard of The Sweet. Haha, and to think I grew up during that era. Really a lot of great bands and music.
Knock Three Times (April-May 1971!!!) best song ever
1970s are strictly divided in 1974 on "before Abba arrived" and "after Abba arrived".
Great. Danke fürs Video. I was Born 1970.👍
Jan 76 to Feb 76 is just divine! Couldn't have planned that!
Disco was truly a European music (although born in New York) with Anglo-Australians (Bee Gees), Swedes (ABBA), Germans (Boney M), Italians (Donna Summer with Georgio Moroder), French (Patrick Hernandez, Village People) and Spanish (Baccara).
El Condor Pasa!
The Sweet 😀😀😀😀😀
Ага)
My dear friend! Please forgive me for calling you friend even though we don't know each other personally, but this compilation is 100% consistent with my musical tastes. And so almost all of these songs can be found in my mp3 collection.
My brother and I bought the oldest of these singles in 1972 (Sacramento, Poppa Joe, Beg Steal Or Borrow, Metal Guru, Song Sung Blue, Popcorn, Wig Wam Bam, Block Buster, and others not mentioned here - then we had no more money), and they are still in my closet today. They form the basis of my record collection, which, however, has its focus on the 80s.
Some good 70s picks there.
Maravilloso 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It’s strange that you have Sweet all over the place but Slade was the band with number one records in the 70’s and have been selling far more records. You forgot Cum on feel the noize with Slade in 1973 written by Holder/Lea. But on Glam Metal top 100 of the 80’s Quite Riot was credited for Cum on feel the noize as a big hit which it was but when Slade came out with the original it was even bigger, but probably not in the US
The song "Children of the Revolution" by T. Rex is missing,( year 1972)
Du bist der König von YT…🤗
Ich nur „Paranoid“…😎😂
Great decade
Всё это моя любовь!!!
i though venus song was grace slick all this time
I was in Europe back then and would expect a Bowie song and Hotel California...
Gary Glitter
Do Abba and Boney M also have songs that don't make an appearance here? 😅
Yes.
Well, ABBA didn't have an instant follower to their Waterloo Hit ( although Honey Honey, I Do I Do I Do and So Long were hits in some EU Countries (and Australia). And in 1978, Summer Night City didn't match to make the top spots all over Europe.
@@stefanzantes8818 In the UK they had Ring Ring and I Do I Do I Do in the 30s positions before having a bigger hit with the brilliant SOS almost a year and a half after Waterloo. Summer Night City made number 5 in the UK in September/October 1978.
@@rjjcms1 Yeah, Well in Germany, Honey Honey was a number 2 Hit single selling better than the #1 Waterloo Single and I Do I Do I Do was at #6, so the legend about the 15 month gap of success mainly originates from the UK. Summer Night City was a #6 in Germany and #1 in Sweden, but didn't seem to dominante the Charts in Europe as ABBA was used to do previously. And in this Video it is interesting to see, that, while the 1979 Voulez Vous Album is a great Disco influenced Album, the biggest Hit singles were the non-disco songs Chiquitita and I Have A Dream 😁
@@stefanzantes8818 Yes,I remember when Summer Night City came out as a single in the UK and started getting radio play at the end of the school summer holidays in 1978,and everyone agreed that it wasn't as good as their previous hits. I agreed with that assessment but it still had something,though,that I liked,a few things really even if my best friend at school disliked it. My mum,who sadly passed away early this year,was German so I've got family there and we used to go and stay there at my grandmother's or aunt and uncle's house,both of which were close to or overlooking the Rhein between Bonn and Koln (Cologne). SOS,which is apparently still the only palindromic name for a hit song by a palindromically-named artist reminds me of the school summer holidays in 1977 when my sister had the album with it,I Do I Do I Do,Ring Ring,etc. on and played it quite a lot and we stayed over there for a fortnight. We seemed to do that every odd-numbered year in the 70s apart from 1973.
When Voulez Vous came out here in the summer of 1979 we went on one of those fortnight-long stays in Germany during the school summer holidays and at the time I had three cousins there,all girls,who were teenagers and a couple of them were really into discos and disco music,and rollerskated as well. Chiquitita and I Have a Dream got to number 2 at or near opposite ends of 1979 in the UK,and must have shipped the best part of a million sales each,but in between Does Your Mother Know? got to number 4,and first Voulez Vous as a double with Angel Eyes and then Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight) both reached number 3. All in all,another huge year for Abba even without quite getting a number 1 single. The songs that denied Chiquitita and I have a Dream the top spot here were Heart of Glass by Blondie and Another Brick in the Wall by Pink Floyd respectively.
The best years
8:53 This is vocally an unexpectedly impressive song.
11 by ABBA far more popular there than here in the US
💯💯💯
I'm fairly sure it would be easier to list ABBA's singles that aren't on this list that the ones that are :D
I was a teenager in the 70’s so remember virtually all of these songs with great affection. I’m really surprised Sweet feature so much - I remember T.Rex, Slade and David Bowie (who doesn’t feature at all) being much bigger acts and having a lot more hits than Sweet.
у Боуи меньше хитов , чем у Sweet)
@@vladimirvladimirov8313 если брать первую половину 70-х , то вообще только Young Amricans и Space Oddity... Вообще не представили невероятно популярного тогда Gary Glitter..
Sweet was very very popular band especially among teens...
@@user-kh4ih3bp9y , можно еще вспомнить Бей Сити Роллерс))
Linda canción
11:08 😮
i've finally found 9:42 thank you from Belarus centre of Europe
4:25 This is still so catchy. 😀
12:30 My favourite song of his.
Great! Even if you forgot a lot number of T. Rex Hits.
Where are extra popular in Europe Gary Glitter, Bay City Rollers and David Bowie?
Ahem, 1970 is the last year of the 60ies. The 70ies began at January 1st 1971
Technically, every year that has a 70 number in it, is 70s
@@MarvinGuatemalanBoy
Very wrong.
@@schusterlehrling you’re the very wrong one, you are confusing decades and centuries. The 21st century commenced on Jan 1st 2001 (in spite of 2000 being the year everyone celebrated the dawn of the millennium) but the 1970s most definitely commenced on 01/01/70
@@gerardmackay8909 No, on the 1st of January 1971. Both are the start of the millennium or decade, as Latin numbers has no 0, so the 1st decade began 1AD and ended on 31st of December 10. The 2nd decade started with the 1st of January 11 etc....
@@schusterlehrling it’s really simple because centuries were counted from the notional birth of Christ (ie 1 A.D. or now C.E.). Decades were a much later construct when Mediaeval horologists started subdividing centuries into blocks of ten years and it was not related to the same counting method as the century but the convenience of the number prefix 6,7,8 or whatever it might be. You can nitpick all you like but the year 1970 is unequivocally the first year of the decade we call the 1970s. However it’s a free country so live it by whatever counting method you wish, but don’t expect many people to jump onboard.
1:57 😂😍
Thank you Random! Lot's of ABBA is always loved!:) You make some great vids my friend!
2:17 and 2:25 I never know what to think of those 2.
