I have the books from Joel Withburn : Hot 100 of the 60's , 70's and 80's but there are not year end charts in these books.
Do you know if the lists are available somewherezfree on Internet ?

Vince, I wonder if you accidentally left out "Don't Expect Me to Be Your Friend" by Lobo from the 1973 list. After all, it was ahead of some of the songs on Billboard's official year-end list that you posted. Just wondering.

I don't know why "AT40" bothered to compile their own year end surveys-The Billboard YE surveys are a lot more accurate.

When you brought this up I though I had left out "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend". I went back and checked and it only had 954 points, not enough to make this top 100. Based on the point total I got, its BB placement is an error.

In looking at the list, I wonder about tie-breakers since "Angie" and "Love Train" had the same amount of points and both were #1 songs.

The ties were probably broken by weeks at #1, weeks in the Top Ten, then Top 40 weeks and finally, Hot 100 weeks. "Angie" spent one more week in the Top Ten than "Love Train", so that's how "Angie" gets the benefit of the tie.

Vince, I enjoyed reviewing your 1973 year-end list.
Here are a couple of little known facts about AT40's Top 40 of 1973. As you may know, AT40 was heard on hundreds of outlets of the American Forces Radio & Television Service (AFRTS). The arrangement AFRTS had with Watermark during the early 70s allowed listeners (most often servicemen) to hear a special edit of the show's final hour every week. For example, if the last hour started with #13, the AFRTS version usually began with #14. The Top 14 then would be all that was heard.
For the 1973 year-end countdown, it was only the Top 14 for AFRTS listeners. And certainly they must've been confused when Casey announced the #2 record. Even if they had heard every 1973 show, "Why Me" never made it to the AFRTS version of the regular weekly countdown.
In addition to edited shows, something else made the AFRTS version unique -- Casey always recorded a special introduction and conclusion for their one hour version of AT40. And in his AFRTS closing for the Top 14 of 1973, he pointed out that the program's list was "...ranked by Billboard Magazine." Ooops!

I thought I read where the NYC affiliate airing AT10 gets an edited one-hour version with just the Top 10 songs and no other extras/Spotlights/LDDs.

WLTW-FM in New York City,aka:"Lite 106.7" does air the condensed version of "AT10" every Sunday morning from 6-7 Eastern Time-While they don't play the spotlight songs or extras,they do play the LDD.

Going beyond the original run, AT40 has used the offical published Mediabase charts these years: 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018.
