According to the graph on p. 195 of "Breakthrough Swimming", LCM world records per year:
year #
1976: 58
1977: 10
1978: 31
1979: 11
1980: 24
1981: 10
1982: 14
1983: 18
1984: 24
1985: 9
1986: 13
1987: 10
1988: 22
1989: 8
1990: 4
1991: 14
1992: 15
1993: 1
1994: 13
1995: 3
1996: 5
1997: 3
1998: 2
1999: 24
2000: 33
Some of these might be +/- 1, as I eyeballed the graph to get the numbers
