'1979 was a really good year for music', says Paul Burnett. ' No one type of music was dominant and records stood out on their own merit. The most healthy aspect was the unpredictability of the charts, which were open to any kind of band. I hope that this trend continues and that the record-buying public will keep on developing wide musical tastes in 1980.' including at 12.3* pm Newsbeat with Richard Skinner
