"Yesterday Once More" is a hit song by the sibling duo Karen and Richard Carpenter from their 1973 album Now & Then. This single version of the song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, becoming their 5th number two hit. The song also peaked at #1 on the easy listening chart making it their eighth #1 hit on that chart in four years. It is their biggest selling record worldwide and their best-
selling single in the UK peaking at #2. It's a beautiful soft rock song about nostalgia that is itself nostalgic and was recorded at a time when contemporary music was dominated by heavy rock. The Now & Then LP version of the song incorporates eight covers of 1960's tunes that takes up the entire side B of the album. One of the best-selling music artists of all time, The Carpenters had three #1 singles, five #2
singles on the Billboard Hot 100, fifteen #1 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart, and twelve top 10 singles. Their combined album and single sales exceeded 100 million units.
