Awesome -- I don't think anyone can complain about hearing this one from 1973. It's technically been longer since we've heard 1978 but this is only the second one we've heard from 1973 this year and that one was nearly two months ago.
Great chart, with several rock classics making their waves on Top 40 radio -- Edgar Winter Group, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Focus, Alice Cooper, J. Geils Band -- co-mingling with a great blend of soul, bubblegum, country, and Perry Como's final hit, plus a few stinkers like Playground In My Mind.
I'm really looking forward to hearing this one!
All in all, 1973 is the least played year since Premiere started playing AT40-the 70s. It's come up just 17 times in over 3 years. In comparison, 1978, which was only a partial year due to the 4-hour shows, has been played 22 times. (That said, we've never had a June show from 1978 so that would have been nice too.)

That's why I'm not doing a whole lot of complaining here — 1978 has been so-overplayed, although we're due for one here in the coming weeks, particularly since June 1978 has not yet been represented. Maybe next week? Brian

Hello all. On the 1971 show last week, there were 2 songs with 2 top 40 entries by different artists, Never Can Say Goodbye and I Don't Know How to Love Him. Are there other examples of the double-cover from the 70s off the top of your head?

In the summer of 1977,there were two different versions of the theme from "Star Wars":The original soundtrack recording by John Williams & the disco version by Meco-Meco's version went all the way to #1-In early 1978,the same thing happened with the theme from "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"-There was the original soundtrack recording by John Williams & a disco version by,you guessed it,Meco-However,John Williams had the bigger hit this time.

Great chart, with several rock classics making their waves on Top 40 radio -- Edgar Winter Group, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Focus, Alice Cooper, J. Geils Band -- co-mingling with a great blend of soul, bubblegum, country, and Perry Como's final hit, plus a few stinkers like Playground In My Mind. Indeed. That "blend" kicks in right at the start of the show with two extremes of genres -- from the soul of Fred Wesley's "Doin' It To Death" to the country of Jeanne Pruett's "Satin Sheets." To Brian, Casey acknowledged Don Bowman as previous week's host in this show, but made no mention of American Country Countdown. In fact, in AT40's history, you could probably count on one hand the number of times ACC was ever mentioned. On a separate note, I sent PMs to a few individuals here but received no response. (message never opened?) You might want to check your messages.

"In fact, in AT40's history, you could probably count on one hand the number of times ACC was ever mentioned."
I think one of those times was the AT40 1982 year end countdown, when one of the songs was the #1 country song of that year. And Bob Kingsley, Bowman's successor as host of ACC, was included in the mention.

And Bob Kingsley, Bowman's successor as host of ACC, was included in the mention. The song caseyfan is referring to is " Always On My Mind" by Willie Nelson, which was the No. 32 hit on the 1982 AT40 year-ender. Was surprised, but then again, not really, to hear no mention of ACC by Casey Kasem. I asked because there was a big article in Billboard magazine a couple of weeks later announcing the coming debut of ACC, with Don Bowman at the time going through trial runs and (possibly) making promotional/pitch tapes for radio stations. In fact, a memo posted at Charis Music Group's Web site, dated July 6, 1973, talks about ACC and offers current AT40 affiliates the first chance at the show. Looks interesting, and you can read for yourself below: charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/07-06-73%20Memo.pdfBrian

Are there other examples of the double-cover from the 70s off the top of your head? There was this spoken word record THE AMERICANS in which a remake by Byron McGregor beat the original recording by Gordon Sionclair to the punch, as while Byron was in the top 10, Gordons finally debut at#28, and fell out 5 weeks later.
