The Top Of The Poppers – The Best Of Top Of The Pops '79

Originally released in 1979 on Hallmark Records, The Best Of Top Of The Pops '79 captures the spirit of late-70s UK pop culture at its most vibrant. Part of the long-running budget series produced by Pickwick International, these albums featured studio musicians performing faithful recreations of the year’s biggest hits. For collectors today, these compilations act as nostalgic time capsules — snapshots of a musical era defined by disco, new wave, and soft rock.

This particular volume brings together some of the most iconic chart-toppers of 1979. From the energy of “Y.M.C.A.” to the synth-driven cool of “Cars” and the shimmering pop of “Heart Of Glass,” the tracklist reads like a greatest-hits playlist of the year. The Top Of The Poppers series is widely collected for its kitsch charm, distinctive artwork, and its reflection of UK music tastes at the close of the decade.
