Richard Carpenter co-wrote "Top Of The World" with John Bettis. The former recognized its potential as a chart hit. It was slated for him and sister Karen Carpenter to record the song. 
Before the duo could issue its version, country singer Lynn Anderson had rushed her own rendition out. Her interpretation topped the US Country chart in 1973. That same year, The Carpenters' version was unleashed. It reached #1 in America, Canada and Australia. In Britain, the single peaked at #5.
