Climbing the Hot 100 from #95 to #87 on 6/30/73 was the follow-up to "Little Willie," Sweet's Top 10 hit. "Blockbuster" was a #1 hit in England, Germany, Australia and other countries. Yet, it spent all of 7 weeks on Billboard's survey, climbing only as high as #73 in July 1973. A lost classic, here's some vintage glam rock... www.youtube.com/watch?v=egPriRsahGs |

Like its counterpart from 6/30/73, the lost 70s classic from June 24, 1978 originated on the other side of the Atlantic. And Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express", their 2nd and last Hot 100 entry, also spent just 7 weeks on the chart. The similarities end there, however. With pop and disco releases dominating the mid to late 70s, many music critics have noted that the German group's synthesizer-based, instrumental sound was way ahead of its time. And how much influence tracks like this one generated with other recording acts may never be known. Climbing to its peak Hot 100 position of #67 on 6/24/78, enjoy the ride. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kv8_EZrNhpY |
