It's Rocktober, it's time for Monday's Music Moves Me, and the theme is a freebie. I thought I would time travel and see if I can find some Rock songs topping the Billboard charts for the first week in October. Get your retro dance outfit and let's start this Rock and Roll sock hop.
The week ending October 2, 1965..."Hang on Sloopy" by The McCoys
On Today's Date 1968 The Beatles "Hey Jude" topped the charts..
On October 2, 1971 Rod Stewart topped the Chart with "Maggie May"
October 4, 1975 David Bowie "Fame" was on top..
October 2, 1976 time to "Play That Funky Music" Wild Cherry
Queen ruled on October 4, 1980 with "Another One Bites the Dust"
On October 2, 1982 John Cougar (Melloncamp) with "Jack and Diane"
On October 6, 1984 Prince and the Revolution ruled with "Let's Go Crazy"
On this date in 1985 it was Dire Straits "Money for Nothing"
Hope you enjoyed and I will see you soon!
