This week on Turn The Beat Around we step back in time to 1979 and find out what were the hottest songs on the Disco Charts for this very week 29 years ago.

We countdown from 20 to 1 featuring new entries from Dan Hartman, Jean Shy and a then 21 year old Prince. Plus there are bullet performers from Shalamar and Isaac Hayes all leading up to the big reveal, the Number 1 Disco song from 29 years ago. It’s a classic and anthem all in one.
