Year chart 1973

What is the best record of 1973 in the Dutch Top 40?

Do You Love Me? by Sharif Dean tops the 1973 year chart, with 584 points from 17 weeks in the chart (peak position 1). The top 5: 1. Do You Love Me? (Sharif Dean), 2. Angie (The Rolling Stones), 3. We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee (Redbone), 4. 'T Is Weer Voorbij Die Mooie Zomer (Gerard Cox), 5. My Friend The Wind (Demis Roussos).

How is the 1973 year chart calculated?

Every weekly entry in 1973 earns points: 41 minus the position, so 40 points for a number 1 and 1 point for number 40. The sum of those points sets the order; on a tie the peak position counts, then the number of weeks, then the earliest week. Only the weeks of 1973 count, also for a record that entered the year before or stayed on into the next year.

Is the number 1 of the year chart also the record that spent longest at number 1?

Not necessarily. The year chart counts every week in the chart, including the weeks lower in the Top 40; a record that stayed high for a long time can therefore end above a shorter-lived number 1. The number ones of 1973, the longest-charting records and the highest new entries are on the 1973 year page.

How many weeks does the 1973 year chart cover?
