In 1980, Billboard magazine published a chart ranking the top-performing songs in the United States in the adult contemporary music (AC) market.
[1] The first number one of the year was "Send One Your Love" by Stevie Wonder, which retained its position from the final chart of 1979,[2] and held the top spot for the first two weeks of 1980.
Three of the year's AC number ones also topped Billboard's pop singles chart, the Hot 100: "Woman in Love" by Barbra Streisand,[3] Olivia Newton-John's "Magic",[4] and "Lady" by Kenny Rogers.
"Lost in Love" by Air Supply was the first to achieve the feat in April and May, and was immediately followed at the top of the chart by "The Rose" by Bette Midler, which held the position for the same length of time.
A second track to have two spells at number one was "Give It All You Got" by the jazz trumpeter Chuck Mangione, the official theme tune of the 1980 Winter Olympics.
