Comment: In the 1970s, the local charts weren’t as homogenized as they are now, what about this top ten shouts British to you? There is something so worldwide about these songs, they could be anywhere. Spain? US? Australia? It is completely homoginized, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer but the charts remain a consistent shade of off white. Everything is exactly the same everywhere.
