After a considerably longer than expected break between post 1 and this one, because reasons, the My Past In Popular Music series returns with the next ranking. With the previously posted ground rules in mind, let's look at the 2nd quarter of 1970: Billboard's weeks ending April 4th through June 27th, 13 weeks total. As I did last time, I'm looking at somewhere between the top 20 and 30, wherever the biggest gap in the ranking points happens to be. For this quarter, that obvious gap was between numbers 23 and 24, so the top 23 it is! (NOTE: Within a tier, the songs are listed in no particular order.)

TERRIBLE TIER -- empty!


BAD TIER -- empty!?


MEH TIER )
DECENT TIER )
GOOD TIER )

EXCELLENT TIER -- empty!


Overall, the second quarter continues the general theme of "the upper-middle of the bell curve and not much else". Cheers? Jeers? Disagreements? Put 'em down in the comments. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more about 1970.
