Since AT40 only did a top 50 for 1979, I have always wanted a collection of songs #100-#51 for that year. I know the statistician at AT40 did rank the top 100 at the time because I remember seeing a list that had "Gold" by John Stewart at #51. Does anybody have a list of the bottom 50 and better yet, does anybody have a collection of songs #100-#51 for '79 in order? Thanks.

Yeah, I'd like to see that list too. Anyone know why it hasn't been published or has it?

It sucks that we don't have Casey talking up those songs as part of a year-end countdown, but I'd still like a cd (or 2 or 3) of those songs in order. Maybe we can get an AT40 version, Cleveland-style. lol

Thanks for posting, Shannon! I assume you got that from Billboard?
Anyway, if Premiere goes with 1979, it'll be interesting to see what their picks are for the optional extras, assuming they're different than what iHeartRadio is offering.

Too bad AT40 only did a top 50. What an incredible list of songs there is for #100-51...

Too bad AT40 only did a top 50. What an incredible list of songs there is for #100-51... That's why I purchased the Opus 79 survey which is the whole top 100 and done btw by Charlie Van Dyke. Also recently found out that the Opus year end countdowns were based on the Hot 100, the Gavin Report and 2 other reports similar to the Gavin report. |

Does anyone know why there was only at Top 50 for 1979? There were Top 100s for 1978 and 1980.

Perhaps because they only wanted to take the normal two-week break from the regular charts, and since they wanted to do a Top 50 of the decade, they only had time to do the top 50 of that particular year.

BTW, looking at BB and Cashbox ’79 yearend charts, almost 1 in 4 songs (23 titles to be exact) was not shared between Billboard’s and Cashbox’s 1979 year-end charts. This was because at the time BB survey period was from about the beginning of November 78 to the beginning of November of 79. I’m not sure of the survey period for CB, but it was much closer to the full calendar year. For example: not only this produced different yearly #1s (BB#1 “My Sharona” vs. CB#1 “Le Freak”), but in extreme cases BB’s #12 (MacArthur Park-Donna Summer) and CB’s #15 (Pop Muzik-M) were nowhere to be seen in the counterpart yearly chart. Of Course, “MacArthur Park” was CB 1978’s #27 of the year; and “Pop Muzik” was BB 1980’s #40 for the year.

^Reminds me of how I used to keep track of the differences between Billboard and R&R. I think the biggest discrepancy I saw (for a song that was released as a commercial single) was "Baby Got Back" becoming Billboard #1 song of 1992 and not making R&R's year-end Top 100, despite making the Top 40 earlier that summer.

I think that's exactly it. They decided to have a top 50 songs of the 70s special, and didn't want to air more than two straight weeks of specials. |
