Where To Watch
Was this a No. 1 country song or No. 1 disco song in 1979?
Boogie on, little doggies.
You don't see a lot of cowboys in leisure suits, which is why Billboard kept separate charts for Hot Country Singles and Hot Dance Club Play. (That being said, is there really that much difference between Saturday Night Fever and line dancing?)
The following songs were all chart-toppers in 1979. Half of them were No. 1 on the Hot Country chart; the other half hit No. 1 on the Hot Dance Club chart.
Can you judge a song by its title? See if you can sort them.
-
"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"
-
"Baby I'm Burnin'"
-
"If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me"
-
"Deputy of Love"
-
"Shadows in the Moonlight"
-
"You're My Jamaica"
-
"I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl)"
-
"Dancer"
-
"Born to Be Alive"
-
"I May Never Get to Heaven"
-
"I've Got the Next Dance"
-
"Backside of Thirty"
-
"All I Ever Need Is You"
-
"Here Comes That Sound Again"

10/14 I find it hard to believe that some of these were #1 hits...
10 of 14...
dear metv i got 14 out 14 2weeks ago and i shared a comment. what happened to my comment. i wanted to hear from other metv fans to comment on my comment. so today i repeated the 14 out of 14 i also got 14 out of 14. thank you jcp
11/14 should have been 12/14 but I clicked and it moved so it clicked on the wrong answer but i knew the correct answer
Thought I would get all 14 for being an avid listener and Billboard reader in 1979 but the compliment for 11 right is a surprise. Thanks !
10 out of 14 - We tip our cap to you, a true Seventies expert!
And #2 should be correct either way. It was billed as a disco song on the charts, the fact that Dolly Parton sang it doesn't automatically make it just country!

You got 7 out of 14
Looks like you need to listen to more Seventies music, pardner.
Eeesh! LOL

7 out of 14.
10/14 and guessed. Most of these I never heard of.
8/14 better than I thought I would do I HATE country & disco
You got 12 out of 14 - We tip our cap to you, a true Seventies expert! Had to guess on more than I thought I would but still did pretty good. I'll take it.
I got 11 out of 14. I guessed on the ones I never heard of but still missed some. I hated country music. The only country music I ever liked was Here You Come Again and That's Who I Am. The last was on muzak in my store, The girl sang "I am Rosemary's granddaughter, The spitting image of my father. And when the day is done my momma is my biggest fan."
That song is "Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews. It was also used as the theme song to the TV show "Sue Thomas, F.B. Eye".
9/14! Hated country music! A few comments: [1] Why didn't they say that 1 & 2 were Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton? [2] 9 is an oxymoron! How the hell could you live to be dead? [3] 13 was originally recorded by Sonny & Cher!
I'm wondering the same thing.
9/14 Some I have never heard of. Don Armondo's Second Avenue Rhumba Band? I was overseas but I remember dancing to Born To Be Alive in some dive.

"Born To Be Alive" was "our song" for my best friend & me when we were 15-16 and used to frequent a local teen disco. I still love that song.
I still love it too.
10/14- feh! Confused #5 with this favorite.

Yep, and these guys were never disco or country!
Very true.
10 out of 14. Dumb luck on a lot of these

6/14. Is that disco-dancing cowboy Tony Clifton?
This comment has been removed.
No, I believe that's Jeff the Drunk before his arm died...LOL!
8/14. Dislike Disco and country music equally!
