I'd be interested to know the source for this list.

The Music Week/British Market Research Bureau lists for best-selling singles of each year of the 70s, reproduced in full in 'The 70s: A Book Of Records' by Tony Jasper (Futura, 1980), are considered by many to be the most authoritative reference. These are at variance with some of the titles here.

According to MW/BMRB, 1970's best-selling UK single was 'In The Summertime', Mungo Jerry, and 'The Wonder of You' was 2nd.

In 1972, the best-seller was 'Amazing Grace', Royal Scots Dragoon Guards Band, and 'I'd Like...World To Sing' No. 5.

In 1973, it was 'Tie A Yellow Ribbon', Dawn, and 'I Love You Love Me Love' No. 8.

In 1974, 'Tiger Feet', Mud, was the year-end champion, and 'You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me' well down at No. 45.

In 1975, it was 'Bye Bye Baby', The Bay City Rollers, while 'Bohemian Rhapsody' finished at No. 22.

[edit] 1981

Wasn't Soft Cell's Tainted Love the best-seller for 1981 - or did the Human League overtake it after the cut-off point for the year-end chart? MFlet1 14:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
