During 1980, the first year of the decade, 3 female solo acts found themselves on the top of the Billboard charts: Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and what singer of "Magic"?

Olivia Newton-John's "Magic" hit number one on the Billboard chart in August, 1980, and was from the soundtrack to the movie Xanadu. On August 30 of that year, "Magic" was kicked out of the top spot by Christopher Cross and his hit "Sailing". "Magic" would be Newton-John's biggest hit only for a brief time, as her song "Physical" would soon become a monster hit.
