THE 200 GREATEST SONGS
In 1980, TV audiences tuned in for the answer to the
question who shot J.R. on “Dallas”; Moscow hosted the Summer Olympic Games
which were boycotted by many nations; war broke out between Iran and Iraq;
Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States and the world mourned
after John Lennon was assassinated outside his Dakota apartment in New York
City.

The bulk of songs included on the ‘Xanadu’ film soundtrack
were performed by Olivia Newton-John and the Electric Light Orchestra. Each
act had one side of the album. The title song was written and produced by ELO’s
Jeff Lynne and brought the 2 acts together on the same song. In Britain, Europe
and Israel, the song reached #1. It peaked at #8 in America, #9 in Canada, #2
in Australia and #8 in New Zealand.
