The late 1970s were a fascinating time for music. Where else could you have country songs, heavy rock, disco, r’n’b, electro-pop, and even novelty songs top the charts? Only the 70s, baby! Now, as we hurtle toward 50 years after the songs’ release, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to determine the Best Song of 1978 — and we need YOUR opinions!
Below find a list of 100+ notable songs released in 1978, or which made the Billboard Top 100 singles chart for 1978. (If you’re taking this on a mobile device, we recommend clicking here for ease of use.) Select your favorites; you can pick as many as you like.
Did we miss your favorite song of 1978? Add it in the space provided and we may discuss it on the episode! Then send to your friends and have them chime in on their favorite late-70s jams. The more votes we get, the better balanced the bracket will be!
The poll will run until April 15, 2024. Make sure to submit your answer by then!
The 32 top vote-getters will be discussed on a future episode of the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast. Find out more at greatpopculturedebate.com.
