1973 - Records peaking from 1/6/73 though 12/29/73 are eligible. Points Rank POS-TITLE-Artist (Peak Position-Peak Month) 56 10 WILL IT GO 'ROUND IN CIRCLES Billy Preston (#1, July) 31 45 SPACE RACE Billy Preston (#4, Nov) Billy Preston’s “Space Race” is a surprise listing here. Nevertheless, his talents generated a special distinction. Not many artists can claim two Top 40 singles in one year, with one as a vocal and one as an instrumental.

I'll do the 60s after I finish posting the 70s. For the 60s, Billboard ranked Patsy Cline’s “I Fall To Pieces” at #2 for on the 1961 year end chart despite only peaking at #12. There’s no denying Patsy’s greatness, but really? Another country crossover, like ONE HELL OF A WOMAN and WHY ME. As was mentioned earlier, those songs seem to have less coordinated trips up and down the charts. More of a grass roots appeal, and as was pointed out to me, that shouldn't be discounted. Perhaps the opposite! I guess the way we feel about these songs might depend on where we lived at the time and what the local stations were playing. Even WHY ME apparently must have been #1 or at least Top Ten on a bunch of stations. So perhaps this "only Top Ten" approach skews more towards big city pop stations (the tighter playlist stations), and the other points systems skew away from those stations.

It's probably the best example from 1970-1988 of that diversity, since it made year-end #6 (or #2).

Interesting take on the year end charts.
I did something years ago with a slightly different methodology.
Points were awarded based on chart position. I also awarded points based on the number of weeks in the Top 10.
If a record for a particular week was at #3 and it had been in the Top 10 for 5 weeks, the record would earn 8 points for being at #3 plus 5 points for its fifth week in the Top 10, a total of 13 points.
At the time, I thought it would be the best way to reward chart position and longevity. Never was sure if that was the right way to go.
