Top of the World - The Carpenters - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The Carpenters headed into country music territory and shot to the top of the charts with "Top of the World," which was released in 1973 while the beloved sibling band were at the top of their powers. With its springy singalong chorus ("I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation / And the only explanation I can find / Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around / Your love's put me at the top of the world"), the song – written and composed by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis – peaked at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973 and stuck around for two consecutive weeks."Top of the World" became The Carpenters' second of three Number 1 singles, as "(They Long to Be) Close to You" and "Please Mr. Postman." "Top of the World" was also immortalized by country singer Lynn Anderson, whose 1973 version took the Number 2 position on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart as well as reaching Number 74 on the pop charts.
