Take an r from her biggest hit & you get "That's What Fiends Are For".

[at40fansince1984]

I know this doesn't fit AT40 70's & 80's but when WPNC did their weeklong AT40 50th birthday celebration did anyone record the Top 100 Of 1998.

[jdelachjr2002]

One '70s and one '80s show this weekend so only one post for both.

"AT40: The '70s" this week presents 8/2/1975 (A NEW SHOW!!!)

Six songs debuted this week:
"Get Down Tonight" - KC & The Sunshine Band (#32)

Premiere optional extras:
Hour #1: "Peppermint Twist" - Joey Dee & The Starliters (???)
Hour #2: "Rocky" - Austin Roberts (#79)
Hour #3: "Help Me Rhonda" - Johnny Rivers (#44)

An explanation for "Peppermint Twist". In this show, Casey gave an update on Joey Dee & The Starliters and a drop piece of "Peppermint Twist" was played. Of course as Premiere had done in the past, it's been restored so the song can be played in full. Weird.

"AT40: The '80s" this week presents 8/2/1986 which last aired in 2011. Here is an edited repost:

Of note: "Point Of No Return" replaces "You're A Friend Of Mine" from the 2011 airing (Clarence Clemons had just died at the time).

[jdelachjr2002]

As an FYI, Premiere's airing of the 8/2/1975 AT40 leaves only the 8/19/1972 show as the only three-hour Casey-hosted show from that decade not to air (willing to bet Premiere will take care of that soon).

As for other '70s shows yet to air
1978: 11/18 (full show), 12/2 (full show)
1979: 1/27 (full show), 2/10 (full show), 8/18 (full show), 11/3 (full show), 11/24, 12/1, 12/22 (full show)

[at40fansince1984]

I agree 1979 should be the A show that way we could hear all 4 hours Thursday on WSQL & the 1970 show on KLFM Friday leaving the weekend to listen to which you want not having to worry about finding a station playing all 4 hours. But best bets for all 4 hours are WPAC, WPNC & KOKZ (which like to skip the last extra).

[cartman2002]

Here's a song from the 05/13/72 chart that aired on At40: The 70s in 2018

KOKZ do tend to play their own extras with quite a bit
