1973 was my freshman year of high school-These songs will certainly bring back a boatload of memories.

The Hot 100 chart of 11/17/73 was the final weekly survey that Billboard used to tabulate the Top 100 singles of 1973.

I found this very interesting for the chart of 11-17-73. Looking at the UMD for that week--songs that week in the Top 10 had, at this point in time, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 weeks on the Hot 100.

The Hot 100 chart of 11/17/73 was the final weekly survey that Billboard used to tabulate the Top 100 singles of 1973. I wonder if AT40 had the same 'cut-off'. They did their own year-ended that year (and only a top 40). I recall that "Why Me" was #2 on AT40's compilation and (IIRC) #6 on Billboard's list.

Elton would blast into the top 10 the following week in only his fifth week on the 100, breaking the pattern.

Casey mentioned at the beginning of the program that 12/8 was the cutoff for their 1973 year-end tally, which at that time, was really late in the calendar year. That cutoff would be more prevalent in the mid-80s, which I preferred. November 1st or even mid-November seems too early, though I understand why they had to have it then.

Listen – On Demand (Available after the conclusion of this broadcast): ice42.securenetsystems.net/media/WPAC/ondemand/Casey-Kasem.m4a (3 hours avail. for 1 week) I think this is link still works, albeit not for the entire week as I mentionedice42.securenetsystems.net/media/WPAC/ondemand/Mornings.m4a (4 hours avail. for 1 day) Not sure if this link is still valid. I think there's another link out there where the end of the URL is something like "AT4070s.m4a" (or something like that). I think someone replied to a post of mine months ago with the other URL. I'll see if I can hunt it down... Found it... ice42.securenetsystems.net/media/WPAC/ondemand/AT4070s.m4aOnly the Mornings.m4a link is presently up. They did not post the typical 3 hour AT40 link today. I got some bad news about the on-demand player. I e-mailed the station yesterday and got the response today that someone went to the Premiere Networks regarding the on-demand and when they looked into it, they found that WPAC was in violation of their show agreement, thus, forcing them to discontinue the on-demand part of the show. In other words, if you don't catch the show during the weekend, you're S.O.L.

Looking at charting singles from late ‘73, here are 3 examples of final tabulation differences based on cut-off dates: *Angie – Rolling Stones (Billboard: 85, AT40: 38) *Midnight Train To Georgia – Gladys Knight & The Pips (Billboard: 49, AT40: 21) *Keep On Truckin’ – Eddie Kendricks (Billboard: 35, AT40: 17)

Probably comparable to the reason us Sirius-XM subscribers cannot access their AT40 '70s shows 'on demand', unlike the network's ''60s Satellite Surveys'.

Midnight Train To GA was #15 on CB. Keep On Truckin' #49. A couple of songs that peaked in December made the CB '73 year end survey. Top of the World--Carpenters (#50) Just You n Me-Chicago (#62)
