AllMusic Review by James Christopher Monger

As its title would suggest, Sony DADC's budget-priced, five-disc 100 Hits: 70s Chartbusters collection includes a c-note's worth of colorful '70s jams with highlights arriving via Edison Lighthouse ("Love Grows [Where My Rosemary Goes]"), Mott the Hoople ("All the Young Dudes"), Esther Philips ("What a Difference a Day Makes"), the Drifters ("Kissin' in the Back Row of the Movies"), T. Rex ("Metal Guru"), Hello ("New York Groove"), and many more.
