How long has it been since we went back to 1975, it seems like it was back in the podcast old days, but maybe it was only yesterday? For some it was a bad time, when air travel was on shaky ground. The risk of a hijack was all too real and you feared at any moment to hear “get down, get down, get on the floor”! Fortunately for most of us, the only time we heard that was in the disco. This week we do the hustle through the Billboard Top 40 songs from the week ending May 30th, 1975. With a shining star or two, and some magic within, we can say we haven’t said the last farewell to 1975.  Link to a listing of the songs in this week’s episode: https://top40weekly.com/1975-all-charts/#US_Top_40_Singles_Week_Ending_31st_May_1975 Data Sources: Billboard Magazine, where the charts came from and on what the countdown was based.Websites: allmusic.com, songfacts.com, wikipedia.com (because Mark’s lazy)Books: “Ranking the 70’s” by Dann Isbell, and Bill Carroll“American Top 40 With Casey Kasem (The 1970’s)" by Pete Battistini.Rejected Episode Titles:How Long?
