In UK, according to Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_number-one_singles_from_the_1970s_%28UK%29) it was, however:
ABBA - Dancing Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFrGuyw1V8s&ob=av2n).

Apparently in the US it was "The Time of My Life". So cheesy.

Nvm I looked at 1987.

Edit:  I love Gay Byrne conducting the audience :lol:
