HI
What is actually the carpenters biggest worldwide hit some sources say its YESTERDAY ONCE MORE while others claim its PLEASE MR POSTMAN?.Personally i think it maybe MR POSTMAN as it seems to have charted in countries that THE CARPENTERS had not charted in before,what do other members think?

Richard states on the official web site that "Postman" is the Carpenters' biggest worldwide hit.

As for #2 - I'm beginning to think it is "Close To You" and not "Yesterday Once More" - as CTY was a big hit around the world in 1970 - but has also recharted in Ireland and the UK in 1990 - thus giving the song a bit more sales and lasting hit status.

Rick, you could be right about CLOSE TO YOU being the biggest hit after PLEASE MR POSTMAN as it did get to no 1 in several countries and sold over 3 million globally.
