...I realized that it looked like "Do That To Me One More Time" by the Captain & Tennille wasn't among these hits. Tell me, Cerebro, how close was this song to making the list? Or did it gain more points in 1979 than 1980?
I'd say you just nailed the reason why you didn't see the song listed. DTTMOMT (as well as other 79-80 crossovers like "Please Don't Go" and "Rock With You", which were also on Bronson's list), didn't make the chart because their chart runs were split between the two decades. Since I only counted the weeks in 1980, they simply didn't accrue enough points to make it. DTTMOMT just missed the list I printed at the beginning of this thread (it landed at #206). If I'm not mistaken, I believe Billboard counted a song's entire chart run for the year that it peaked back in those days, which is, probably, why it placed so high on that list.
