I do not get to hear the 70's countdown, but I would include
33 DE GEORGE HARRISON - YOU

I have that up there with "My Sweet Lord" which was one of my highest votes in the 70"s #1 madness.

Here it is with Mrs. George Harrison

I didn't put it on my list, because in the countdown-clip video sadchild posted, I didn't recognize it. Now that I've heard the whole song, I still don't recognize it.

Also, according the chart info on Wikipedia, it peaked at #20, so I don't know how it would be in the madness you mentioned.

20 34 CAT STEVENS - PEACE TRAIN
07 07 PAUL & LINDA McCARTNEY - UNCLE ALBERT/ADMIRAL HALSEY
04 04 JOAN BAEZ - THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN

Only three.

29 22 JAMES BROWN - MAKE IT FUNKY (Part 1)
11 08 BILL WITHERS - AIN’T NO SUNSHINE
07 07 PAUL & LINDA McCARTNEY - UNCLE ALBERT/ADMIRAL HALSEY
 
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey was inspired by Paul's Uncle Albert Kendall and World War II naval commander Admiral William "Bull" Halsey Jr. Rolling Stone said of the song, "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey hit Number One, a crackpot prog-pop suite four years and countless bong hits ahead of Bohemian Rhapsody. Paul and Linda sing the 'Hands across the water' chorus, inspired by their Anglo-American marriage. His real-life uncle was a character. As Paul recalled, 'Uncle Albert would stand on the table, roaring drunk, and recite the Bible.'”

Paul has never performed the song live but here is a live performance by Classic Albums Live, a group formed in 2003 by Craig Martin. As their name makes clear, each concert they give is an amazingly faithful re-creation of a classic album.
