#Singles1979

A music tournament for Bluesky users commencing soon.

No nominations needed as almost all top 40 entries (source Everyhit / Retro Charts) will be included.

Obviously there will be crossovers: hit singles that were released in 1978 but still in the charts in 1979. To save a lot of checking, these songs have been included.

The tournament will include seeded songs (round three onwards).

Round one will include groups of four songs.

The hashtag will be #Singles1979

Here is a list of all the entries including the first round draw.
