This past week's XM broadcast of 2/22/75 brought back memories of the incredible run of one week number ones that year.
In a typical year during Casey's original run, it was very rare to have more than five #1 songs that ONLY lasted one week at number one. In fact, in 1984, Missing You was the only song all year to be a one week number one.
In 1975, starting with Mandy and ending with Lovin' You, there were 12 straight one week number ones. There were also ten more single week number ones that year. I can't think of any other year that even comes close either number.
In my mind, it speaks to the incredible quality of the songs that year that so few songs could last at number one--I'm sure some of you would take the opposite stance?
Does anyone know if there are other years outside the original Casey run that have as many single week number ones?
