If they charted in 1970 I'd say they're fair game, but that's me.

I've got them dated as '70 on my player, so maybe they came out very late? I think they probably all peaked in '70. The other big one is "Tears of a Clown"--we've had this argument before--which actually came out in '67, I think, but hit #1 when reissued in '70. To me it absolutely belongs with 1970.

Checked Whitburn--don't think I've taken that off the shelf for a decade--and "Rainy Night in Georgia" and "Didn't I" both debuted on the Hot 100 in January of '70, and "I'm Not My Brother's Keeper" in October of '70.
The Flaming Ember are in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Huh?

If you know 'Hills of Katmandu' you already have a head start. Also, there will be at least two weeks of campaigning, so I'm sure you'll find enough good songs to fill a ballot.

Radio was different back then. The only time you really heard a song on the radio was while it was on the charts. Before it was a single or after it fell off, you basically had to own the record to hear it. By that standard, "I Want You Back" was 100% a 1970 song.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Sunday, 19 March 2017 18:54 (seven years ago) link
i'm not that attached to leaving it in so should it be stricken from the noms list that'd be fine by me. i know that its omnipresence on 60s nostalgia and rock canon lists makes it hard in the present day to separate from the 60s/1969, but it did break in december 1969 and then reach peak cultural saturation in january 1970. (it wasn't on the 1969 year-end charts for pop or r&b; it was on 1970's.) i decided to include it after seeing the exchange above re: "rainy night in georgia" and "didn't i (blow your mind this time)".
(if the argument in favor of those two is that they entered the charts in 1970 while "i want you back" did so in 1969, i would point out that that's not strictly true: billboard issue dates have always been post-dated by nearly two weeks, so records entering the charts on the issue dated january 10, 1970 were technically doing so in 1969.)

My inclination would be to count "I Want You Back" as 1969. Even though it didn't hit #1 until 1970, it had already entered the Top 10 on the last Hot 100 of 1969 (I checked). When you add in dyl's point about the two-week lag time, it was definitely ubiquitous before 1970 had begun--which wasn't true of "Rainy Night in Georgia" or "Didn't I." Agree with JF's general point that the charts should be the arbiter, not release dates (much less the release date of whatever album the song is on).

I'll also fully disclose that I'm one of the few tortured souls who is not moved by "I Want You Back" (even right now as caught up in a real-life "I want you back" moment) so that factors into my date-of-release pedantry.
