Can you name all these No. 1 albums from 1974?
Time to go digging in the crates for some greats. More than 20 different albums went to No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 1974. There was a lot of success to go around! (By comparison, only five different albums topped the Billboard 200 in 1984.)
Music was rich and diverse, as folk, soul, pop and rock rocketed to the top.
Let's see if you can identify these best-selling records from that year. If it helps, the musicians are on most of the covers.
