There were 17 number one songs in 1972. The first new number one song in 1972 was the New Seekers with I’d Like To Teach The World To Sing (In Perfect Harmony) and the final number one of the year was Long Haired Lover From Liverpool by Little Jimmy Osmond. At least some of the songs in between made up for it:)
