I tried searching for other countries - like Belgium, Germany, Europe - but nothing came up with a simple link. I did find this site that has a list by month, rather than week: http://tsort.info/music/
I then looked through the lists for the top position for September (my birth month). Here is the condensed list - I included links to the videos as opposed to the videos themselves.
The list is in the order from the website:
- Bee Gees - How Deep is Your Love? - US Billboard 1 (32 weeks),
- Donna Summer- I Feel Love - France 1 (5 weeks),
- Boney M - Ma Baker - France 1 for 4 weeks ,
