We now have 27 songs on part 1 (which runs from 1971 to 1976), and I
have 3 more 1976 songs on my list. So I'm going to put them on, and then
time it. I think part 1 is done. Songs from 1977 on can still be added,
and they'll be used in part 2.

Good question. Around 1982 (the time of the coming of Madonna and
Prince) it got rebranded "dance music" but we don't have to go with
that. I was planning to end with Rick Astley in 1984.

Still thinking about the question. I think the heyday of disco, when it
ruled the charts was 1977-1979, then new wave dethroned it in 1980. So
I'm expecting a lot from those three years, with a long tail in the
1980s. (Like with new wave, where the last song we used was "Love Shack"
in 1989.)
