Have a look at this site - it gives the top 40 of any week of any year - this year is 1976, a good year for your mum, I think.

You'll see what she was listening to when she was 14/15

She will also love BB Seaton - particularly Born Free (a big hit in the 1970s, rarely heard now); Sweet Caroline; My Jamaican Girl

All downloadable free from his official site:
