American Top 40: The 70's and 80's

[at40fansince1984]

Darn, I was hoping to hear the Winchester Cathedral Extra. I have a mp3 I downloaded from the 2013 airing but it has no extras. Did they play it as an extra then or was it lost?

Thanks to top40weekly.com for contributions to the data above.

STATIONS OF THE WEEK:
     Both KOKZ "Iowa's Classic Hits" in Waterloo and KMCH "Mix 94.7" in Manchester, Iowa, played all three optional extras.

Casey mentioned Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me"—he called it, "Why Me, Lord"—during this, its 35th week in the Billboard Hot 100, was in the midst of a record-long run in the Top 40 at 17 weeks and counting. Although it never reached any higher than #16 in the Top 40, its persistence eventually resulted in its infamously coming in at #2 on AT40's "The 40 Top Hits of 1973" countdown, second only to "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree"!

Noting that five of the first six records—and 17 in all—were on their way down the Top 40 after peaking, it's curious how the hits during this time tended to retreat slowly, as opposed to dropping like a rock as they did only a few years later. Rather than changes in buying habits and/or airplay patterns behind this, I suspect it was evolving chart methodology and/or data collection techniques.

Regardless of any chart oddities, this may have been my favorite time in pop music.

Here's a song from the 05/28/77 chart that aired on At40: The 70s in 2015

38.Everybody Be Dancing by Starbuck

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuJsozFLf74

[Doc Indie Party Rock]

-- 38 David Naughton - Makin’ It (5)

from American Werewolf in London fame. Also the song is from 'Meatballs" soundtrack. 70's and 80's comedies were a lot more funny. Today's comedy seems almost cruel, but back in the day it was lighthearted and full of harmless Double entendre.

"AT40: The '70s" this week presents 12/16/1978 which aired back in 2013. Here is an edited repost:

Here are this weekend's Classic Casey shows.

"AT40: The '70s" this week is from 12/16/1972 which last aired in 2009. Here is an edited repost:

Dec 12, 2009 0:06:09 GMT -5 jdelachjr2002 said:

Three songs debuted this week:
"You're So Vain" - Carly Simon (#37)
"Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" - James Taylor (#38)
"Angel" - Rod Stewart (#40)

* = on "Angel", AT40 accidentally played the B-side which is "Lost Paraguayos". "Angel" spent one week in the Top 40 with the correct side never to be played.

Three songs fell off the Top 40 this week:
"Convention '72" - the Delegates (#28)
"Rock 'n Roll Soul" - Grand Funk Railroad (#31)
"Theme From 'The Men'" - Isaac Hayes (#38)

Biggest Mover: "Been To Canaan" - Carole King (#40 to #31)
Biggest Dropper: "I'd Love You To Love Me" - Lobo (#16 to #29)

Original extras:
None

Premiere optional extras:
Hour #1: "Lost Paraguayos" - Rod Stewart (#40)
Hour #2: "Rocky Mountain High" - John Denver (#53)
Hour #3: "Crocodile Rock" - Elton John (#46)

Of note: AT40 had restored "Angel" in the countdown (because Casey played the B-side "Lost Paraguayos" in what turned out to be its' lone AT40 appearance) which bumps the original B-side to op extra staus ("Dancing In The Moonlight", one of the original 1972 extras, was dropped to make room).
