Okay it is now 1970, and 25 songs reached #1 on the charts in the large country north of the U.S.

Two Canadian artists feature in this list, Guess Who\* and Mashmakhan\*, the former sending two singles to the top of the chart in 1970.

Which ones would you vote for?

This is for sure a much weaker list than the previous 1964-1969 list of number 1 singles I have been posting.

Only five seemed worthy to be voted for in my book:  
Canadian natives Guess Who-“No Time”  
The Carpenters-both entries  
Sugar Loaf’s “Green Eyed Lady”  
Mungo Jerry

There are several songs I like, but only “No Time” truly earned my vote.
