The number ones from the year look pretty solid (with a couple of minor exceptions) to me:
Village People "Y.M.C.A."
Ian Dury and The Blockheads "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick"
Blondie "Heart of Glass"
Bee Gees "Tragedy"
Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive"
Art Garfunkel "Bright Eyes"
Blondie "Sunday Girl"
Anita Ward "Ring My Bell"
Tubeway Army "Are ‘Friends’ Electric?"
The Boomtown Rats "I Don’t Like Mondays"
Cliff Richard "We Don’t Talk Anymore"
Gary Numan "Cars"
The Police "Message in a Bottle"
The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star"
Lena Martell "One Day at a Time"
Dr. Hook "When You’re in Love with a Beautiful Woman"
The Police "Walking on the Moon"
Pink Floyd “Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)”
Tell me which was the best year for number ones then.
