Read more on the #1 Basketball Team and on Dan Steele.

Note: Released late in 1973, Barbra Streisand's, 'The Way We Were' below would go on to be the #1 song of the year on the WPGC Top 100 of 1974.

Note: Effective with the 03/09/74 edition, the Washington Star-News reduced the number of reporting stations from 9 to 5, dropping the only Urban station, WOOK, the only Country station, WDON, the only Progressive Rock station, WHFS and the only station to feature a Jazz show, WMAL (which ironically, was owned at the time by the Washington Star-News). None of these stations had been used in calculating the weekly 'Consensus Of Ratings' seen in the far left column.

This left the five Top 40 reporting stations, WWDC, WEEL, WRC, WPGC and WINX intact until the final list published two months later on 05/11/74. The pocket sized store distributed lists as seen above continued through 12/27/80.
