I have done a calendar year ranking using AT40's 1982 methodology, which I think yielded better results, but these rankings will provide an alternate look at each year's biggest hits.

Had you posted this set of rankings already and I missed it, or not yet?

The rankings I am posting this time are based on a methodology I developed to estimate BB's year end ranking for 1987 through 1991. It is explained at the beginning of this thread. On another tread I posed year end rankings using AT40's 1982 methodology. I will bump up that tread in General Music Discussion.

Moving into the 70s. I already posted at the beginning of this thread, countdowns using this methodology with a December through November survey period for 1970 though 1986. What I will post now will be for the calendar year, with records credited for their full chart runs. For 1970, records peaking from 1/3/70 though 12/26/70 are eligible.

Here is 1976. The eligibility period is 1/3/76 through 12/25/76. Since this is the first year the frozen week occurred, I averaged the position before and after the frozen week to credit the frozen week. Rod Stewart comes out on top. Interestingly, BB's #100 song for 1976 is also #100 on this ranking.

"Still" beat out "Bad Girls." That's a surprise.

I went back and rechecked the 1979 rankings and "Still" did not beat out "Bad Girl". I am correcting my post to correct "Still"'s points. It did not seem unusual as "Still was in the top 10 13 weeks and "Bad Girls" just 10.

Moving into the 80's, here is 1980. Queen gets the top spot with a song that did not make BB's 1980 YE pop chart. it did make BB's 1981 YE pop singles chart at #65. The eligibility period is 1/5/80 to 12/27/80.
