This is a living blog series so I will update them when number of listens change.
These are all the songs that are on my iPod. I'm going to start with the least played songs on my iPod all the way up to the most played song on my iPod. These songs are on my iPod are songs that I've loved all my life, just barely discovered, songs from concerts that I've been too and concerts I'll be going to soon. Just to let you know I love all sorts of songs and genres. There are no weird songs on my iPod, just a bunch of great songs. One of the things I love the most about my iPod is that it's a living thing. Six months from now the songs on my iPod will be drastically different.
The first ten blogs will have 18 songs and the last 37 blogs will have 17 songs. Songs 809 to 806 haven't had any listens so far. Like my iPod updates the number of listens a song when a song plays I'll update this blog series to correspond with that. These blogs are very much living things and I've added five songs to this series.

This blog series will provide all songs from all #1 CDs of the 80s.
Disco peaked in 1979, some of that overflowed into 1980. I find it interesting the first two #1 CDs of the 80s are Disco CDs. Two of the most legendary Disco performers in Donna Summer and The Bee Gees.
Donna Summer aka The Queen of Disco is one of our most talented and amazing Disco singers. Miss Summer lived from December 31st, 1948 to May 17th, 2012. She sold a surprisingly low number of almost 14,000,000 albums. She finished with 3 #1 albums, "Bad Girls", "Live and More" and the CD below. She also had four #1 songs and had 14 Top Ten songs. =This CD, Donna Summer "Greatest Hits Volumes 1 & 2" was the first #1 CD of 1980. It was #1 on January 5th, 1980.

2) "Love To Love You Baby":
