I really dislike these Richard vs. Karen scenarios. It wasn't a contest - and it shouldn't be now.
Exactly.

I'm glad that you did.Just heard the tail end of 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' on a Top 10 'oldies' station that now plays mostly 80s and hardly ever Carpenters. At the end, the host said 'Mmm to have a voice like that!'

Global TV used to use it as the closing credits music for their broadcasts of the Toronto Santa Claus Parade.I'm glad that you did.
That vocal is my favorite vocal of all time by anyone.
SiriusXM is playing the top 300 songs of the decades this weekend. On 70’s on 7 now, Close to You at #55. Somehow the songs sound better when you have to wait and hear your favorites in a countdown!! Guess it reminds me of listening to the radio way back when before we had everything so “on demand.”
270 | Carpenters | Top of the World | 1973 |
157 | Carpenters | Rainy Days And Mondays | 1971 |
76 | Carpenters | Superstar | 1971 |
55 | Carpenters | (They Long To Be) Close To You | 1970 |
32 | Carpenters | We've Only Just Begun | 1970 |
Yes I heard this too, and was curious to know how many songs the Carpenters had on this list of 300 songs from the 70's, and where.
I did some digging around and found a list of all 300 songs, on Reddit. The list has a lot of people that have contributed and it seems very thoroughly checked by a number of people for accuracy.
Assuming accurate, the Carpenters had 5 songs voted in on the list, as follows:
270 Carpenters Top of the World 1973 157 Carpenters Rainy Days And Mondays 1971 76 Carpenters Superstar 1971 55 Carpenters (They Long To Be) Close To You 1970 32 Carpenters We've Only Just Begun 1970
So sorry you have to do this. May your mother be blessed as she is in hospice!I'm a bit confused on this; but glad others were listening and interested in it too. I, unfortunately, had many hours in the car over the last week driving four hours at at time to be by my mom's bedside as she was just put into hospice care, so I got to listen to 16 hours of this broadcast over four days...unfortunately, much of it overlapped; however, I only remember hearing two songs...Superstar at No. 76 as the list above shows, but Close To You at No. 26 with differs from the Reddit list (which I also looked up). I'm thinking this list might be from the previous year? Incidentally, over the same time period, I heard a broadcast of the Top 100 songs from 1975; both Only Yesterday and Please Mr. Postman were on that list. Postman was No. 33 or 34 for the year, I think?
Thanks. I have to say, though, this Sirius/XM broadcast made the long, lonely drive a lot better as I anxiously awaited each song in the countdown to hear when K&R would emerge! I have to say, thought, it was a LONG time until I finally heard Superstar that I was convinced, being Sirius/XM, that they hadn't made the list AT ALL. Glad I was wrong!So sorry you have to do this. May your mother be blessed as she is in hospice!

Sending good vibes to you and your family, Geographer.I'm a bit confused on this; but glad others were listening and interested in it too.

And counter to what I actually heard on the radio, but these lists online can vary. There is also a top 700 list from earlier in the year that is floating out there and I don’t know where these songs placed on that.The list is identified as "2020-2021", so I would assume it's for this past year.
Having said that, if you heard Close to You at #26 that definitely runs counter to the list as it was when I downloaded it yesterday. I find it hard to believe that Yesterday Once More didn't make this list, but now I'm concerned that the list isn't accurate.
Sorry about your mom; that's a tough situation.
That’s appropriate for much of the U.S. today. Cold and rainy, and stuck inside. What a great song for the day!
