Noticed you corrected my edit. |
|||
Canada's Year End Chart (as they appear on Wikipedia) are always from RPM Magazine up until the magazine folded in 2000. |
|||
One of the hardest issues to find is the January 13th issue from 1973 as the Library of Canada never published this issue on their website. |
|||
https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/films-videos-sound-recordings/rpm/Pages/search.aspx |
|||
I sourced this issue directly from our National Library in Ottawa so that this missing year could finally appear within my meta data as I've embedded this information within both by .flac library & .mp4 library which I use as a professional background music provider. I have the RPM chart from 1962-2000 embedded at my finger tips as well as the history of Billboard. |
|||
I had the same issue in 2019 when I corrected "American Pie" by Don McLean to be the #1 song of the year on Canada's Year End chart. It was corrected several times by others users until an interaction like this one after which I believe a fellow user help correct whatever missing information wasn't included that was causing issue. |
|||
Checking thru other Year End info fro 1972, I notice the bulk of it is entirely incorrect. Canada's only other official chart was Soundscan's "The Record" which was published from 1975-2000. Since this chart is from 1972, predating Soundscan's footstep into Canada's music scene, this information could not have bee obtained there. |
|||
I'd assert that whomever posted all that data for Canada's 1972 Year End charts in the first place either created it off the top of their head, or used whatever RPM Magazines they could find to tabulate the results on their own using a points system likely similar to Fred Bronson has used in all his Billboard releases. |
|||
Should you wish a copy of page 20 from RPM January 13th, 1972 I can email it to you. |
|||
Canada's chart archives have been a large project I've worked on for the past decade & I'l often update Wikipedia when I find errors, although it's been a good three years since I;ve been active in that regard. |

::The edit a few years back was to American Pie. |
|||
::[[American Pie (song)]] |
|||
::I've went thru old correspondence & found the conversation regarding this was 2019. I then went thru the edit history to see how it was worked out, but was unable to see further back than 500 pages of edits, all of which post date this interaction. |
|||
::I'm just in the process of updating my personal library & noticed an error between The Searchers vs. The Hillside versions of "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" (I had the chart info reversed), so sourced Wikipedia as it responds faster than the crawl speed of Canada's Archives. Found the info I needed but noticed the Year End Chart was off. I compared another few tracks from 1972 & noticed all were wrong (other than American Pie) |
|||
::As of 2019 no Year End Chart for 1972 appeared within any Wikipedia entry due to that chart being missing as previously mentioned. |
|||
::This information being placed incorrectly within that field of meta data is a relatively new issue. |
|||
::Should you be curious, the top 10 of 1972 were. |
|||
::1) American Pie - Don McLean |
|||
::2) Alone Again (Naturally) Gilbert O'Sullivan |
|||
::3) Cotton Jenny -Anne Murray (MAPL) |
|||
::4) Heart Of Gold - Neil Young (MAPL) |
|||
::5) A Horse With No Name - America |
|||
::6) Puppy Love - Donny Osmond |
|||
::7) I Am Woman - Helen Reddy |
|||
::8) You Could Have Been A Lady - April Wine (MAPL) |
|||
::9) Day After Day - BadFinger |
|||
::10) Long Cool Woman (In A Black Dress) - The Hollies |
|||
::Looking them each up perhaps may lead to the same source for all the incorrect entries I've referred to. |
|||
::I'd be more help if I wasn't knee deep in a project of my own here. |
