11 (11) 6063 Aretha Franklin
Some big rises from the big hitters in 1972, as Elton John leaps from 56th place to 18th. David Bowie has an even bigger jump from 67th to 15th place.

5 (4) 7416 The Supremes
4 (3) 8087 Four Tops
3 (2) 8251 Rolling Stones
2 (7) 10278 T. Rex
1 (1) 15918 Beatles
T.Rex close the gap on the Beatles by over 8,000 in the last 2 years, so could overtake them possibly in 1973,but more likely in 1974.
But I would expect David Bowie & Elton John to be closing on the top 5 by the end of 1973.

Amazing job, I love reading through it all. No surprise that T Rex is my #1 as his music had such an influence on my younger years and has stood the test of time.

Rex - 585 1972 David Bowie - 530 Fab summary as ever Smokey (though I was here for 1967 and think it was Monkees who were my top act that year ahead of The Beatles) and thanks for all the hard work all year and end of year, so much appreciated and it all makes fascinating reading! I'm about the least in tune with Retro number ones cos I'm usually ahead on charting what with my "If 1972 charts then were streaming and globally available simultaneously" basis for my retro charts. Which makes it more interesting for me than just re-doing my original charts (54 years and still going) and shuffling the order a bit. 14-year-old me would be very surprised at what I like more as I plummet towards my pension in a year or so Cheers for everything!

You have so far got my single of the year accurate each time even though you are using a different points system to me. But "Alone Again (Naturally)" is only my top single of 1972 by points. In reality it's a clear 3rd behind "You're So Vain" which only entered right at the end of the year and crosses into 1973 and "Starman".
"Changes" wasn't eligible for my chart as it didn't reach the UK top 50 or US top 40. I have no idea why it didn't chart in the UK, probably just didn't get enough airplay.
From your list, The Sweet will have a big #1 in my chart but it won't be with "Blockbuster".
