The following is a list of every single that peaked on the Billboard Top 40 chart in 1974 (based on Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual 1955-1999 publication) and also includes the Top 40 hits Pat has included in the database based a composite of other music charts. Through a collaborative effort with my partner-in-crime Jim (a.k.a. "jimct") and some valuable assistance from KentT, Paul Haney, and Yah Shure, we've made our best effort to determine whether the corresponding commercial 45 release for each single was issued in mono or stereo. This list only accounts for original 45 releases and not later re-issues.
I have posted a mono/stereo 45 list for each year from 1968-1975 (see links below) and hope forum members and fellow music collectors will find these lists to be a useful reference guide. I also highly encourage anyone to let me know if there are any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions so that I can make the necessary corrections.

Also, Jim says his copy of Marvin Gaye's "Distant Lover" sounds like very narrow stereo, though he cannot tell for certain. There is also a lack of consensus elsewhere regarding whether Donny Osmond's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" is in very narrow stereo, mono, or in both as separate 45 pressings. If anyone can chime in with their own observations as to whether these commercial 45s are in stereo or mono, it would be appreciated.

Scoreboard update...
Here are the percentages (rounded to the nearest tenth) of Top 40 commercial 45s issued in stereo by year. As others here have correctly suspected, 45 releases in 1974 were overwhelmingly in stereo:
1974: 93.4%
1973: 74.8%
1972: 51.9%
1971: 35.7%
1970: 26.9%
1969: 19.1%
1968: 3.1%

My stock copy has a normal stereo mix; it isn't narrow at all. Matrix number is T54241-61921 - 9A - SO2B (the usual pan-fried Motown vinyl quality is also in evidence.)

My 45 of "Are You Lonesome Tonight" by Donny Osmond is narrow Stereo. "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers is Stereo.

Donny Osmond's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' is mono, as is its flip 'When I Fall In Love'. Although 'When I Fall In Love' is not listed in the database, Billboard listed this as a two-sided hit. In fact, during its first three weeks on the Hot 100, 'When I Fall In Love' was listed as the A-side, although it was listed as the B-side during its entire stay in the Top 40.
My copy of Marvin Gaye's 'Distant Lover' is as Yah Shure's, except that the Matrix number ends with 'SO8B' instead of 'SO2B'.
EDIT: See posts below for corrections.

Sorry, it looks like KentT and I were composing our posts at the same time. The matrix of my copy of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' is '73L 5438-M-X AM-2 10-23-73'. If my copy is narrow stereo, then it's so narrow that my hearing isn't good enough to detect it.

I made another goof. (It must be Monday.)
The version of 'Distant Lover' that both Yah Shure and I refer to in our posts is NOT the hit version. The version on Tamla 54241 is the studio version released as the flip of 'Come Get To This'. The hit version is a live version on Tamla 54253.

I just noticed this, too, Paul. I had it filed under the B-side.

Thanks, KentT and Paul C for the updates. Since there appears to be some ambiguity in determining the mono/stereo status for Donny Osmond's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", I've posted "mono and stereo?" in the master list for the time being (it wouldn't mark the first time an Osmond single was issued in both) but have left open the possibility that only one or the other may exist.

I have the promo 45 of AYLT/WIFIL and both are mono with
no "A" side or mono/stereo designation on either side.
Both have K 14677 in the deadwax, of course, and AYTL
shows only K-6828. But WIFIL says 73L5442-W. Other marks
only on WIFIL read A-1 and DSS. Sure looks like that was
meant to be the hit, but it wasn't to be.

The second pressing which has the Long Version of "So You Are A Star" by The Hudson Brothers is true stereo. My copy was pressed on vinyl and sounds great.

I didn't notice it in your list but my edited (and possibly
slightly remixed) copy of 10cc's "Wall Street Shuffle" 45
on UK Records plays mono.

Wow! I just checked. You're right! I thought it had,
especially considering the extensive airplay it got here in
the states.

I never heard this 10cc song on top 40 radio back then Grant (at least
where I was in South Florida). Interesting lyrics.

my commercial 45 for the beach boys song "surfin usa"
issued as the orange label capitol 3924 states the run time
as 2:27 and also states that it is the 'mono' version and
indeed IS in mono......first question....which colored
label was this issued as the re-release in 1974?.....second
question....paul's 1974 list above of mono/stereo releases
says that this was actually a stereo release....my vinyl
does NOT confirm this...can anyone else chime in?

I only have a DJ 45 of this one, so I'll let someone else handle the stock copy question. FWIW, the DJ 45 is mono/mono (and labeled as such) with "Surfin' U.S.A." on both sides. The labels are identical, with the P-3924 and (PRO-6924) catalog and matrix numbers listed on both sides.
Curiously, the deadwax numbers do differ between the two sides, with "45-39181 - F3" on one side and "PRO-6924-F-1" on the other. But I didn't detect any sonic differences; they're both mono.

Ed, since I provided the original findings to Todd for the song, I just re-
pulled and re-listened to the Capitol 3924 commercial 45 I bought during its
1974 re-charting. My copy is exactly as I'd reported earlier. The 45 label
states mono, but the song is clearly in full stereo. My deadwax info: "S45 -
39181 - W1". This clearly differs from John's DJ 45 deadwax info above.
Ed, since "your vinyl does not confirm this", what is your 45's deadwax info?

my commercial 45 has "45-39181-F3" etched in the run out
groove.....and mine is clearly mono......so this re-issue
was released in both mono & stereo formats...

I finally got around to updating the mono/stereo info for "Surfin' U.S.A.". Thanks, guys!
