As previous respondents have replied the release order was :
1st: Good Times by Chic
2nd: Rappers Delight by Sugarhill Gang
3rd: Another One Bites the Dust - Queen
4th: Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel where Flash cuts up both
'Good Times' and 'Another one...'

Shame about Bernard Edwards of Chic who died a couple of years ago. One
of my heroes.
