Wheel of Casey this week: June 23, 1973. at40petebattistiniIf memory serves me correct... After hearing the Raspberries "Let's Pretend" re-entered the charts... Wasn't this around the time when the charts were "strange"? (I think it was some new type of ranking/rating that was employed for the HOT 100? I don't know or exactly remember) Songs bounced back up the charts after falling the previous week AND There seemed to be a lack of "Stars" on the chart? I remember it being a very weird/strange chart to visually look at..

In June 1973 Billboard started using a "data processing computer" system, or at least that's what Casey said a couple of weeks earlier.
Making things even more confusing, after the June 9, 1973 show was recorded some computer methodology errors were discovered, and after reprogramming the chart came out differently. But by then it was too late to re-record and press the show and be sure affiliates would receive it on time, so Watermark just sent out the countdown as it was with Casey giving many chart positions that differed from those in the published issue of Billboard. The following week (6/16) Don Bowman guest hosted and offered an after-the-fact explanation of the previous week's incorrect chart.

To your second point about the look of the Hot 100:
Beginning with that June 9th chart, stars were awarded only to the "Super Seven," the hottest records below the top 30. By the same time in 1974, on the June 15th chart, the star count was back to a closer-to-normal 38.

Here’s a link to the June 9, 1973 issue of Billboard which provides a headline story describing Hot 100 “Super Singles Chart” changes. And on the link’s Page 60 is the Hot 100 chart which contains just a handful of 'stars' and no ‘previous week’ positions. www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/70s/1973/Billboard%201973-06-09.pdf
