Johnny Carver reached #5 on Billboard's June 16 1973 country chart with a remake of the Tony Orlando & Dawn song. He shortened the title to Yellow Ribbon – and he changed "the whole damned bus" to "the whole darn bus." The uncredited background vocalists are the Hurshel Wiginton Singers.
This is a joke, right? How can you make a list that leaves out all the good songs from McCartney and others, and puts Debbie Boone anywhere, let alone #1?
You Light Up My Life spent ten weeks at number one, 14 weeks in the top ten, 21 weeks in the top 40 and 25 weeks on the Hot 100.
Now that we understand this, we can move on. Here are the top ten of Billboard's Top 100 of the 1970s. The list was based on the Hot 100 charts from December 20 1969 to October 27 1979. The song at #7 was not on Casey's Top 50. I wonder why. And Bridge Over Troubled Water, #2 on Casey's list, was #41 on Billboard's list!
1. You Light Up My Life – Debby Boone
2. Tonight's The Night – Rod Stewart/Britt Eklund
3. Le Freak – Chic

Mister scotch, because you are shocked that You Light Up My Life could be the number one song of the 1970s, I am going to recommend a book to you: Cabe Eaton's How Did This Sh*t Become A Number 1 Hit? From WTF to #1. 50 Bizarre Hits That Took Over the Charts and the Reasons Why. Eaton lives in Dallas and is a record collector and author of the Cabe's Picks music blog. The book, published November 21, 2025 by the cleverly named Cabe Eaton Books, is available as a paperback and an eBook.

This was as broadcast on AT40 on the date mentioned.
I assumed they used billboard or the charts to make their list. Although I noticed some #1 songs lasting 3 weeks did not make the list while others lasting less did. I was not sure how they did their tabulations. The billboard list looks more realistic.
Here is the top 30 of Billboard's Top 100 of the 1970s. Each song's number of weeks at number one is in parentheses.
1. You Light Up My Life – Debby Boone (10)
2. Tonight's The Night – Rod Stewart/Britt Eklund (8)
3. Le Freak – Chic (6)
4. How Deep Is Your Love – Bee Gees (3)
5. I Just Want To Be Your Everything – Andy Gibb (4)
6. Silly Love Songs – Paul McCartney & Wings (5)
7. Let's Get It On – Marvin Gaye (2)
8. Night Fever – Bee Gees (8)
9. Tie A Yellow Ribbon – Tony Orlando & Dawn (4)
10. Shadow Dancing – Andy Gibb (7)
11. Stayin' Alive – Bee Gees (4)
12. Hot Stuff – Donna Summer (3)
13. You're So Vain – Carly Simon/Mick Jagger (3)
14. Play That Funky Music – Wild Cherry (3)
15. My Sharona – The Knack (6)
16. Killing Me Softly With His Song – Roberta Flack (5)
17. Best Of My Love – Emotions (5)
18. The Way We Were – Barbra Streisand (3)
19. A Fifth Of Beethoven – Walter Murphy/Big Apple Band (1)
20. I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor (3)

25. Rhinestone Cowboy – Glen Campbell (2)
26. Kiss You All Over – Exile (4)
27. I'll Be There – Jackson 5 (5)
28. Love Theme From A Star Is Born – Barbra Streisand (3)
29. Disco Duck – Rick Dees & His Cast Of Idiots (1)
30. Da Ya Think I'm Sexy – Rod Stewart (4)
Now, 'splain this if you can (I said that in my very best Ricky Ricardo voice.) Why does the ranking of songs #2 through #30 have very little correlation with the weeks spent at number one? Here are some further mysteries. Rod Stewart's Maggie May, number one for five weeks in 1971, was #31. Don McLean's American Pie, number one for four weeks in early 1972, was #37. Donna Summer's Bad Girls, number one for five weeks in 1979, was #38. Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water, number one for six weeks in 1970, was #41. Carole King's It's Too Late, number one for five weeks in 1971, was #46. But Disco Duck, number one for only one week in 1976, was #29!

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I would assume the whole course of the song on the hot 100 would have an effect. Some songs hung around #2 or #3 for a while before or after they became #1. #2 would have almost as much clout as #1. A long stay on the 100 could rack up more points.
Thank Gawd he cleaned up the work of notorious filth-mouth Tony Orlando.
