Yes, great to hear these again. I do wish that there would be more deep dives into the years. Each month could be examined with all the hits (and albums) ranked per day or go all the way down in the list to the 250 songs, deep album cuts that aren't as well known. Bands like Wishbone Ash and Armageddon with great songs like "Buzzard" don't get enough love.

Hmm, Superstition by Stevie Wonder was left out (it was number one for one week (January 27, 1973) after You're so vain and before Crocodile Rock. Sucks, as Superstition was my favorite song of 1973
I was living on a ranch in Death Valley and training wild horses and burros when these songs were making their marks.
Wow. No comments yet❓
I love hearing these old songs again, and the stories behind them.
Some I know about, some I do not.
Cool.
📻🙂
1973 was my last year as a student at THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY located in
Lexington, Kentucky . I would start working full time in 1974 .

Brings back memories, but I must admit that 1973 was a fairly mundane year for music.
OMG that's funny, mixing up Mick Jagger with Elton John.
Great video and songs though.
