According to RPM magazine, the biggest song of 1979 in Canada was Supertramp’s “The Logical Song”. Seven songs from the year-end top 100 chart below are from Canadian artists which have been bolded in red. The top Canadian song was Anne Murray’s “I Just Fall in Love Again” (#16). The Canadian charts are an accurate reflection of Canadian tastes in music and the Top 100 songs were determined both from nationwide sales and radio airplay data. The drawback with year-end charts is that songs charting from the end of one year through beginning of the next will have their chart performance split between the two years. The older generations can use this list to help remember some of the big hits from before while the younger generations can discover some they missed out on.
