1973 Billboard Top 100

Billboard Year-End charts are a cumulative measure of a single's performance in the U.S. Prior to 1991, year-end charts were calculated by an inverse-point system based solely on a title's performance. A single appearing on the Billboard Hot 100 would be given one point for a week spent at position 100, two points for a week spent at position ninety-nine, and so forth, up to 100 points for each week spent at number one.

Other factors including the total weeks a song spent on the chart and at its peak position were calculated into its year-end total.

Here are the Top 100 songs of 1973. More great hits from my teenage years. Click on title link to listen to the song.
