𝗨𝗦𝗔 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝟯𝟬: 𝗔𝘂𝗴. 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟯

The Top 30 songs with 5 extras by Steely Dan, Cat Stevens, Alice Cooper, Donny Osmond and Focus from the 1973 singles charts of Billboard, Cash Box and Record World magazines for weeks ending August 4, 11, 18, 25 and September 1. Unlike for my books, Ranking the ‘60s and Ranking the ‘70s (with Bill Carroll), in which a weighted ranking system was used, I used a simple reverse ranking system, assigning 1 point to No. 30, 2 points to No. 29, etc. I kept it simple since we’re dealing with five weeks rather than a longer duration, like a year. *1973 Rank given to the three songs leaving the charts is an average of those songs’ year-end rankings from Joel Whitburn, Billboard magazine, Fred Bronson, Dann Isbell/Bill Carroll and Cash Box magazine.
