THE MBG TOP FORTY
|
NOVEMBER 4, 1979 THRU OCTOBER 26, 1980
THE 11TH CHART YEAR
A Brief Explanation: I have chosen to incorporate what I call 'Chart Years' into The MBG Top 40. Each year, the new chart year will begin on Sunday of the first week of November and run through Saturday of the last week of October. All singles which made their debut within those dates will become eligible for the Top Hits for that chart year; 185 singles qualified during the 1980 chart year.
