1970 slaagt erin om nog even de nagalm van de 60s te bewaren.
Toch duikt het hardrock element nadrukkelijker op in de nummer 1 hits.
De boom van Britse bands in de US lijkt voorbij ... de US varen een eigen koers.
En België heeft vanaf nu ook een eigen hitparade (start mei 1970).

Voor in mei 1970 de BRT top 30 voor het eerst in de ether was,
bleef de hitlijst in Humo toonaangevend ... nog enkele nummer 1 hits
