I'll find out this Sunday morning what WLS 94.7 FM plays for AT40: The 70's, if it is the 1972 episode, I'll listen; but if it is the 1975 episode, I won't listen.

But I still have yet to know, when will Premiere nix 1970-1972 AT40 shows from the AT40: The 70's rotation so it can stop offering this way when 1970-1972 episodes pop up as one of two choices?

I learned that next weekend's AT40: The 70's shows will be another two show offering with one that was heard in 2011.

And because of that for the second consecutive week, my weekend preview will be a two-parter. As always, the '80s come first.

The '70s preview is coming up. Don't worry. I won't make like Miami Heat fans and leave early. :)

For those AT40 80's fans, I thought I would let you know the same show Rick Dees hosted this very week back in 1986 is airing on Rick.com. His show used the R&R chart for the week. You'll have until this Friday to catch it before a different show is loaded.

Just tuned in to WLS 94.7 FM Chicago, and the station chose over the June 1972 episode the June 21, 1975 AT40 episode I heard 2 years ago, so no recap this week as I won't listen to it again. hopefully next week will be fresh, but I wish Premiere would drop from the AT40: The 70's rotation 1970-1972 episodes to stop using them with alternate later year AT40 1970's episodes.

Below are a thread of thoughts I did 2 years ago:

I even noticed in this week's AT40: The 70's:
* Elvis Presley was the only artist to hit #1 on the pop, soul, and country chart at the same time with "Don't Be Cruel"
* For a Question Letter: The family act with the most top 40 hits is The Beach Boys (with the 3 Wilson brothers and their cousin Mike Love).
* For another Question Letter: Regarding Elvis as the KING OF THE MUSIC CHARTS, the QUEEN OF THE MUSIC CHARTS is...wait for it...Patti Page (who in 1975 since not making the Hot 100 chart anymore was still active on the Billboard country charts)
* Casey plugged 3 times in this 1975 episode for the 1975 4th. of July weekend the rebroadcast of the first AT40 from July 4, 1970 (when was the last time AT40: The 70's ran the first AT40 from July 1970?).

The two song medley of "Just a Gigolo" and "I Ain't Got Nobody" by David Lee Roth (LW: 37), and
"Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds (LW: 27).

NOTES:

• Gee - not a lot of big movement this week, eh? The only two really notable were Limahl plunging 14, and Simple Minds going completely off from #27.
• #1 on the Album chart: The Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack
• #1 on the Soul chart: "Rock Me Tonight" by Freddie Jackson
• #1 on the Country chart: "She Keeps the Home Fires Burning" by Ronnie Milsap
• And...Madonna in fact had the #1 song on the Dance & Disco chart with "Angel" and "Into the Groove" as a two-sided hit. And Casey...didn't even hint at that fact. I know that 1985 is one of the years where he's inconsistent with Dance #1s, but still - that complete omission just seems very, very odd.

[dth1971]

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS ON THIS WEEK'S AT40: THE 70's REBROADCAST OF THE JUNE 30, 1973 AT40 EPISODE I HEARD THIS MORNING ON WLS 94.7 FM CHICAGO:

* SONGS OF NOTE: The first 2 songs in the countdown where by Philly Soul groups - "Time To Let Down" by 'O Jays at #40 and "I'll Always Love My Mama" by the Intruders at #39. And the highest debut at #31 was the 1973 reissue of the famous Halloween classic even played in a Summertime period called "Monster Mash" by Bobby Pickett and the Crypt Kickers.
* DID YOU KNOW: 1) As a teenager, Alice Cooper sat on a high filing cabintet to write stories for his high school newspaper? 2) Foster Sylvers is a member of the Sylvers family? 3) At age 11, Perry Como (Quoteth Casey Kasem: "Need I tell you who?") had his first job cleaning mirrors and floors at a local barber shop? 4) The J.B.'s in the Fred Wesley and the J.B.'s group name stand for "James Brown's"? 5) The Stylistics got their name from a man's clothing store in Philadelphia? 6) Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" is the only other instrumental besides Henry "Hank" Mancini's "Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet" to be #1 based on a famous literature? 7) Jim Croce is known as the man with the bad mustache? 8) In England, the Spinners are called the Motown Spinners and later the Detroit Spinners to avoid confusion with a UK group by the Spinners name? 9) Dr. John is famous for "voodoo rock"? 10) Barry White as a teenager had to be transferred to a high school for bad boys while in 10th. grade?
* QUESTION LETTER: Regarding the song the spent the most weeks in the Top 10 - In the rock era: It was "Don't Be Cruel" by Elvis Presley which spent 21 weeks in the Top 10, but in the pre-rock era, it was a 1942 Mills Brothers song called "Paper Doll" which spent 30 weeks in the top 10!
* BLOOPERS: Casey called Barry White's "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby" as "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little Bit More Baby".
* PREDICTING THE #1 SONG FOR NEXT WEEK IN 1973: The previous 1973 week Casey and the AT40 staff were wrong at predicting Paul McCartney and Wings' "My Love" would remain at #1 that June 30, 1973 week (on the June 24, 1973 AT40 episode which I heard last year), but George Harrison's "Give Me Love, Give Me Peace On Earth" moved into #1, and with the next 1973 being an AT40 Top 40 Disappearing Acts special, Casey decided not to make a #1 prediction for next week (Although that next week on the Billboard chart Billy Preston's "Will It Go Round in Circles" moved into the #1 spot).
* Speaking of the kept intact plugs for the 1973 Top 40 Disappearing Acts special, there were 2 different drop pieces in the plugs - one of a song by the Stereos, and one of "Get a Job" by the Sillouettes.
* AND: WLS 94.7 FM played the first 2 AT40 Optional Extras of the week of Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me" (which peeked at #16 spending 19 weeks in the Top 40, but ending up at #2 for the 1973 AT40 Year End Countdown by surprise!) and the Eagles' Tequillia Sunrise" (which never made the Top 40 reaches).

Well, at least the surprise isn't the 1980 AT40 Book of Records special, which has yet to be played on AT40: The 80's.

Speaking of AT40: The 80's, why the choice of the first optional extra of Bob Marley's "Buffalo Soldier" and has to deal with being on radio airplay in 1983 without making Billboard's Hot 100 chart? (Bob Marley passed away in 1981).

[johnnywest]

^Probably because Bob Marley is a legendary artist who I don't think has ever appeared on any AT40/AT10/AT20 show. If Larry says that he died in 1983, then that's a huge mistake, but he may mention that his album "Confrontation" came out in 1983 and had "Buffalo Soldier" on it. I still hear the song on classic rock and alternative stations and it's soft enough for AC so it's not going to offend anyone.

Great choice for an extra!

NOTES:

• Casey does make reference to the week of July 2 (which saw the Top 40 Acts of the 1980s...So Far special aired) for this week's survey - he mentioned that five songs debuted that week, and his recap of Last Week's Top 3 was based on that week as well.
• It's sort of ironic that this week features a Question Letter about a chart feat where The Bee Gees are one of the only artists to have pulled it off, given that their latest chart single was one of this week's droppers (see also below).
• Premiere's made some out-of-left-field choices for extras in the past year or so, but there is simply no other way to describe their choice of "Buffalo Soldier" than to call it not even in TOWN, let alone the ballpark.
• Story behind "Spill the Wine" as an Extra: One day in 1970, the band were in a recording studio for a session. Oddly enough, they had an open bottle of wine in the studio, and accidentally spilled it onto the control board, ruining it, and they were billed for the cost. The success of "Spill the Wine" was what enabled them to pay that debt.
• Notably, no spoiler for the new #1 song this week - Casey simply says, "...which means, we're headed toward a brand new #1!" before the break.
• #1 on the Soul chart: "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume
• #1 on the Country chart: "Highway 40 Blues" by Ricky Skaggs
• #1 on the Album chart: Thriller by Michael Jackson

...and, here's how the countdown would look under a straight show-to-show breakdown (with the last weekly countdown, June 25, in the "LW" position):

"Little Red Corvette" by Prince (fell off from #36 on 7-2),

"We Two" by The Little River Band (fell from #22 to #29 on 7-2),
"Don't Pay the Ferryman" by Chris DeBurgh (went up from #35 to #34 on 7-2 [!]), and
"The Woman in You" by The Bee Gees (held at #24 on 7-2).

"(Keep Feeling) Fascination", "Hot Girls in Love", "Take Me to Heart", "Maniac", and "Stop in the Name of Love" would have been the debuts on a July 2 countdown.

'Buffalo Soldier' is a good example of how perception of 'hits' change over time. Bob Marley became a 'legend' over time. If the perception of Bob Marley in 1983 was the same as it is now, then 'Buffalo Soldier' would have been a big hit

[dth1971]

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS WEEK'S AT40: THE 70'S EPISODE OF THE JULY 9, 1977 AT40 CHART EPISODE I HEARD ON WLS 94.7 FM CHICAGO THIS SUNDAY MORNING:

* The previous 1977 week, the Top 40 Girls of the Rock Era special countdown was done.
* BY THE NUMBERS: 4 songs on this AT40 chart are remakes.
* DID YOU KNOW: 1) James Taylor's rendition of "Handy Man" (which led off the AT40 chart at #40) was previously done first by Jimmy Jones and then by Del Shannon? 2) Supertramp is a mixed US and British group? 3) Crosby, Stills, and Nash was considered the first American Supergroup? 4) Andrew Gold's parents are composer Ernest Gold and singer (and Milli Vanilli stlye lip syncer for Audrey Landers and Natalie Wood is movie musicals!) Marni Nixon? 5) Waylon Jennings in 1959, then a member of Buddy Holly's Crickets, almost got involved in the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and Richie Valens thanks to trading places with a cold stricken Big Bopper for a seat on the bus? 6) Kenny Rogers' "Lucille" hit #1 in England? 7) Alice Cooper once had 2 albums recalled because in album jacket inclusions? 8) Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up, Part 1" was only the second live recording released on the Motown label with the other being Stevie Wonder's "Fingertips, Part 2" (But Casey mentioned that as of the 1977 time "Got to Give It Up, Part 1" was the 4th. live recording song to go to #1 - Casey left out the first - Joey Dee's "Peppermint Twist, Part 1"! Of course there would be about 4 more live recorded #1's years later)? 9) Shaun Cassidy was on the TV show "The Hardy Boys" at the 1977 time? 10) Alan 'O Day's "Undercover Angel" (at #1 on this AT40 chart) is only the 3rd. fantasy song to reach #1 with the others being "Angie Baby" by Helen Reddy (written by 'O Day, of course) and Elton John's rendition of The Beatles' "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds"?
* QUESTION LETTERS: 1) Regarding the biggest female solo artist to come from England - Petula Clark, 2) Regarding if any recording act replaced themselves at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart - 4 have done that: The Beatles, The Monkees, The Kingston Trio, and Mr. sing along himself - Mitch Miller. HONORABLE MENTION: To tie in with Jimmy Buffet's "Margarittaville", Casey, in response to many AT40 fans, gave the recipe ingredients for a margarita.
* ALSO: 1) Then in 1977 Chicago AT40 station WMET is mentioned, 2) Casey played a drop piece of a 1927 recording of Thomas Edison reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb" to tie in with a story on Edison doing the first recording of this in 1877 before destroying the original by checking it under a microscope or something, 3) And best of all...

wait for it...

wait for it...

wait for it...

wait for it...

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WLS 94.7 FM CHICAGO GOT TO PLAY ON AN AT40: THE 70'S EPISODES ALL 3 OPTIONAL EXTRAS!

Hopefully things will be back to normal next week. I said it last week too but hopefully I mean it this time.

Regarding this week's AT40: The 70's and AT40: The 80's offerings:
1) For AT40: The 70's, will Premiere do an edit on the Isley Brothers' "Fight the Power" single to remove the "BULL(CENSORED)" word(s) from the song or something like that since that offensive word was kept intact on the first week of the chart run and into the second week until on the song's 3rd. AT40 week and the rest of the run Watermark/Casey found a way to censor the word?
2) For AT40: The 80's, would it had been OK if the first AT40 Archive song of the episode called "Teen Angel" (which has been restored in this 3rd. airing of this AT40 episode after being omitted in the first 2 airings) was the first AT40: The 80's Optional Extra of the week instead of Gary Burbank's J.R. song?

My favorite line from this show "You know Disco is hot when the Bee Gees, a group primarily known for ballads cuts a disco record. At #22, Jive Talkin' "

These are the correct Hot 100 positions.


The show has them reversed

[HolidayGuy]

Wait a sec- there was a song called "Who Shot J.R." I'd never heard of it.

HERE ARE MY RESULTS ON THIS WEEK'S AT40: THE 70'S EPISODE OF THE JULY 12, 1975 AT40 EPISODE I HEARD ON WLS 94.7 FM CHICAGO THIS MORNING:

* The previous 1975 week AT40 celebrated its 5th. anniversary with a rebroadcast of the first ever AT40 episode originally aired on July 4, 1970 (A curious question: How many times has Premiere aired on AT40: The 70's the first ever AT40 show from July 4, 1970? I bet it is doubtful it would be played again in time for AT40's 45th. anniversary in 2015 as long as Premiere's AT40: The 70's rotation still does the 1970-1972 AT40 episodes in some weeks with 1973-1979 AT40 episodes as A/B shows unless Premiere nixes the 1970-1972 AT40 shows from the AT40: The 70's rotation like it mid 2002 when Premiere nixed in the 2001-2002 AT40 Flashback 1980's rotation 1980 and 1981 episodes).
* SONG OF NOTE: As I promised, Premiere did make a clean version of the Isley Brothers' "Fight the Power: Part 1" by removing the second unnecessary compound word twice in the "BULL(CENSORED)" part, and it would be 2 1975 weeks later Watermark/Casey started to air a censored version.
* BY THE NUMBERS: This AT40 chart has 4 remakes and 7 British acts.
* DID YOU KNOW: 1) There's a lyric that might deserve your attention in Janis Ian's "At Seventeen"? 2) Charlie Rich comes from Memphis, Tennessee? 3) Alice Cooper in 1975 once held a BICENTENNIAL style part that cost him about $500,000 and even during the party he popped out of a cake in a white suit to sing "When the Saints Go Marching In" (Don't even try this at your next birthday or other party, please!)? 4) Jessi Colter at age 5 accidentally swallowed a hummingbird that casued in her a sore throat and upset stomach, but she survived? 5) Ray Stevens once hosted an Andy Williams Summer replacement TV variety show in 1970? 6) Van McCoy has been a hit songwriter 13 years before he hit it big with "The Hustle"? 7) The B-side to Ringo Starr's "It's All Down To Goodnight Vienna" is called "OOO-WHEE"?
* QUESTION LETTERS: 1) Regarding if there was ever a week when all British acts occupied the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart - Never had happened, but almost in May 1965 when British acts occupied #10 to #3 plus #1 with only #2 belonging to "Count Me In" by American act Gary Lewis and the Playboys! 2) Regarding the song in the 1955-1975 rock era to sell the most copies, thanks to an AT40 source staffer named Ben Marashel (forerunner to Joel Whitburn and later in the 1988-1995 Shadoe Stevens AT40 era Dr. Rob Durkee(!)) it was Bill Haley and the Comets' "Rock Around The Clock" which sold 22 and a 1/2 million copies - WOW! HONORABLE MENTION: To follow up a question letter regarding if a member of a group hit solo while a group was still in the countdown at the same time besides the Beatles and John Lennon there was one other source - The Four Seasons and Frankie Valli.
* BLOOPERS: Casey called Tony Orlando and Dawn's previous song (before "Mornin' Beautiful") as "You Don't Love Me Like I Love You" instead of "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You).
* ALSO: 1) Casey played a drop piece of the first chart hit from 1963 by Lou Christie called "The Gypsy Cried" as he gave a report on whatever became of Lou Christie (Lou temporary moved to England in the early 1970's and briefly attempted an ill-fated comeback in 1974 with the #81 song "Beyond the Blue Horizon"). 2) WLS 94.7 FM Chicago played the first 2 AT40 OPTIONAL EXTRAS of "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac and "Fame" by David Bowie.

I notice next weekend's AT40: The 70's according to the AT40 Fun and Games Forums will be 1 year later than 1975 at least, but I won't be around to listen to next weekend's AT40: The 70's on WLS 94.7 FM Chicago since I will be out of town on vacation, so the next time I will listen to AT40: The 70's on WLS 94.7 FM Chicago will be on June 28, 2013 (Will it still be a 1 show weekend or maybe another choice of 2 shows weekend by then?)

NOTES:

• Heeeeeeeeere we go again...there are two shows in the 1980s hosted by Casey that follow a July 4 special where only the special was produced for that week. Last week had one - now, here's the other. (There's only one other such show in the 80s, 7-11-81, but that was hosted by Charlie Van Dyke.)
• Casey does refer to last week's Book of Records show briefly, though the Top 3 were in fact the same three in order on both 6-28 and 7-5.
• Incidentally, this is the third airing for this show, which aired previously in both 2007 and 2008 (the latter probably as a straight repeat airing). What's oddly interesting is that not only are NONE of the extras from before repeated here, but unlike many of the 2007/2008 shows, all four of those extras - "Upside Down", "Fame", "You're the Only Woman", and "Cocaine" - were still viable for this one (as opposed to being one of this week's droppers or even a song that hadn't quite debuted on the Hot 100 yet).
• Nice to see Premiere taking the hint on deleted Archives, though in the case of this one perhaps the real case to be made was simply from the song in question - "Teen Angel" - having been featured in stories on 3-24-84 and 12-22-79, both of which they've aired since 2008.
• Casey calls "Into the Night" the 4th of the 6 debuts this week. OOPS!
• From the ":O" files: Following the conclusion of "Who Shot J.R.?", Larry Morgan promptly gave the answer away!
• Story behind "Tom Dooley" as an Extra: Casey told the story of the song - supposedly based on true events, a man named Tom Dooley was hanged for murdering the woman he loved out of jealousy because she left him for another man. As for its "true" nature, the show's staff tried to verify it - and they found an incident in North Carolina where a man named Thomas Doola had murdered a woman that he loved after she gave him a "social disease" (a euphemism for a STD?).
• Instead of the normal hour opening theme, the show's closing theme was what played in the background leading into the final hour.
• "I'll Take You There" was played as an unannounced extra - no teaser, unlike with "Tom Dooley".
• #1 on the Country chart: "You Win Again" by Charley Pride
• #1 on the Soul chart: "Take Your Time"
• #1 on the Album chart: Glass Houses by Billy Joel

...and, here's how the countdown would look under a straight show-to-show breakdown (with the last weekly countdown, June 28, in the "LW" position):

33 15 Blondie - Call Me (1)

NEVER QUITE ON:
"Clones" by Alice Cooper (went up from #41 to debut at #40 on 7-5)

Yes, July 5 would have had six debuts as well! ("Clones", "Walks Like a Lady", "Let My Love Open the Door", "Sailing", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Emotional Rescue". As Casey noted, "Emotional Rescue" debuted on the entire Hot 100 that week.)

And you think 1982's epic plunges out of The 40 were legendary? Why not chew on these:

"Angel Say No" went 38-89, "Answering Machine" went 32-74, "Lost in Love" went 28-66, "Wondering Where the Lions Are" went 27-73, "Hurt So Bad" went 26-80, and "Breakdown Dead Ahead" went 22-56, all on 7-5.

And, "Clones" went 40-93, "Atomic" went 39-92, "Theme From New York New York" went 36-61, "Two Places at the Same Time" went 30-64, and "Stomp" went 28-63, all on 7-12.
