How they’ve managed to maintain their credibility to this day is beyond me Yes Aug-Sept 74 5 #1s in a row fell out of the Top 10, 2 1-15 & 3 1-12. But that doesn't make these #1 frauds.

Those runs were legitimate, like Break My Soul. People forget how fast the turnover was during that period. This was a time when songs peaked on radio about 8-10 weeks in, then get dropped. Radio was the main form of consumption in those days, so you got the quick drops after the peak. But of course, it kept the charts/radio fresh. I think radio needs to go back to that. There is no reason why radio should be holding onto songs for over a year (Stay, Bad Habits, As It Was, etc).
