Before I get to talking about the video, I must inform you all that with this video I'm going to say goodbye to Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. Although it was a quite decent program, it was very quite limited in what transitions and effects I could use for videos. Fortunately I have discovered a program which will not limit me in this regard. Once I start using that program you will see what a world of difference it will make. Anyway... After the resounding success of the 1985 country video I uploaded a couple of years back, I always wanted to make another one but didn't get around to making it for one reason or another until now. What a difference between 1973 and 1985! Except for four duets, every single artist in the Top 50 is a solo artist. The only two groups on the entire country chart, which had 75 positions at that time, were the group at the beginning of the video and the Osborne Brothers, who debuted all the way down at #75 with "Midnight Flyer" that week. This pales in comparison to the June 22, 1985 chart when there were 10 groups in the top half of the chart, which by that time had 100 positions. Amazing! Also, it's interesting to see just how many artists from the 1985 video were charting in 1973. There are quite a few of them. In the Top 50, as I mentioned, there are four duets. The male singer in two of those also has a single in the Top Ten. Two brothers, one of which is more famous than the other, also have singles charting this week. Even more interesting, a man and the guy who sang at his funeral are next to each other in the Top Ten. Finally, a man has two singles in the Top 50 on two different labels, one of which isn't his own! 6 Songs enter the Top 50 this week. Since the December 30, 1972 issue is missing from the Billboard Magazine archive, I'll list the one song that was listed as dropping out of the Top 50 in the January 6, 1973 chart, then I'll list the songs that were in the Top 50 in the December 23, 1972 issue that were no longer in the Top 50 in the January 6 issue. Dropping Out? From the Dec 30 1972 chart: Rhythm of the Rain - Pat Roberts From the Dec 23 1972 chart: Pride's Not Hard To Swallow - Hank Williams, Jr. This Much A Man - Marty Robbins Lonesome 7-7203 - Tony Booth Who's Gonna Play This Old Piano - Jerry Lee Lewis Don't She Look Good - Bill Anderson Somebody Loves Me - Johnny Paycheck Knoxville Station - Bobby Austin It Takes A Lot of Tenderness - Arlene Harden Paint Me A Rainbow - Wynn Stewart For more great countdowns like this, please visit whiteboy7931's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/whiteboy7931
