Historia de la Música · Capítulo 5.1 · Apéndice del Capítulo 5
Los Top 10 de los años 70
1970 – 1979 · Billboard Hot 100 (EE.UU.) y UK Singles Chart (Reino Unido) · 200 canciones con link directo
El Capítulo 5 cuenta la historia del funk, el disco, el rock progresivo, el punk y el heavy metal — los movimientos que diversificaron la música popular tras la explosión de los 60s. Este apéndice muestra el otro lado de la moneda: lo que realmente sonaba en la radio masiva, año por año, mientras el underground gestaba esas revoluciones. Es la década del soft rock, el glam, ABBA, Slade, la fiebre del sábado por la noche — y también el telón de fondo contra el cual el punk y el disco explotaron como reacción.
Billboard Hot 100 — Estados Unidos (top 10 anual oficial)
UK Singles Chart — Reino Unido (los 10 números uno más representativos del año)
Una nota sobre las fuentes: El ranking de Estados Unidos viene del Billboard Year-End Hot 100, calculado con un sistema de puntos acumulados semana a semana. El del Reino Unido reúne los números uno oficiales de la BMRB/Official Charts Company que mejor representan cada año del calendario — desde 1969 el Reino Unido sí tiene un sistema de chart oficial unificado, a diferencia de los años 60 cubiertos en el Capítulo 4.1.
