January – Aug 1980 + Top 15 "New" Groups of 1980

On the year-end charts, 13 of the Top 20 Singles were released between January and August, and 9 of the Top 11 Singles were from earlier in the year. Also, 8 of the Top 10 year-end ALBUMS were released before the first chart. Was this a case of John “just having more time to listen” to these songs and albums longer ...
