Here is one of the year-end promos provided to stations with the November 25, 1972 program… “Who recorded the most forgettable Top 40 record this year? This is Casey Kasem. I’ll have the answer to that question on American Top 40’s year-end double special, the Top 80 of 1972.” And during the year-end show, apparently Casey forgot to answer this question. |

The obvious answer is still three weeks in the future: "Angel" by Rod Stewart. Since the sole week it was on AT40 the 'B'-side ("Los Paraguayos") was accidentally played. |

Another possible answer from one week before the calendar year (but maybe in Billboard's chart year considered for that countdown) is Lee Michaels' rendition of "Can I Get a Witness", which reached #39 on December 25, 1971, when AT40 did its first ever Christmas countdown. That was its only week in the top 40 so Casey never acknowledged its existence even indirectly.
Premiere (but not SXM) eventually corrected this error by editing "Angel" into replays of the 12/16/72 show, with "Los Paraguayos" as an optional extra with Larry Morgan explaining the original mistake.

Of course, a very subjective question that I actually thought you'd respond with Think's "Once You Understand." Forgot that one? |

It could've been Jungle Fever by Chakachas (which is actually hard to forget). Of course, another contender would've been Convention '72 by the Delegates. |
