The clue is in the URL - all the USA and UK charts from days of yore:

http://www.old-charts.com/

This week back in 1978, the UK top 10 included:

Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
Mr. Blue Sky - ELO
Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty

But there's much, much more both in and out of the top 10 that week:

Is This Love? - Bob Marley & The Wailers
Denis - Blondie
I Don't Wanna Go To Chelsea - Elvis Costello & The Attractions
All Right Now - Free
Follow You, Follow Me - Genesis
Rhiannon - Fleetwood Mac
Fantasy - Earth, Wind & Fire

... and yet more (some from the "wouldn't admit you liked it at the time" category):

I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass - Nick Lowe
Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel
Take A Chance On Me - ABBA
Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees
Wishing On A Star - Rose Royce
If You Can't Give Me Love - Suzi Quatro
Love Is Like Oxygen - Sweet
