2 shows with nearly the same date in the year exactly a decade apart cover the question of highest debuts. This week's show answers the question of the highest debut in the top 40. And in answering it, Casey says that "Volare" debuted on the Hot 100 at #54 but does not say that it is the first ever Hot 100 chart. And on the 4/23/88 show, he answers the question about the highest Hot 100 debut which is "Let it Be".

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess: 5/4/74 2nd Guess: 5/5/79
It sounds like we will be getting a 1979 show in the first couple weeks of May, but I'm going with 1974 next week since '74 has only been played once so far in 2015 so there may be some catching up to do there (and yes, you could say the same about 1979, but Premiere seems to go somewhat light on '79 presumably because of the 4-hour thing)...

mrjukebox wins this week, cause Two Out of Three really Ain't Bad - and he was the only one to manage that. Had that been the only one he'd guessed wrong (it's not), he'd also have won the "Ironic" award. This week's extras are: "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" - Meat Loaf "Take A Chance On Me" - ABBA "Tumbling Dice" - Linda Ronstadt Anyone else see a "gambling" theme, here?

Linda Ronstadt's version of "Tumbling Dice" certainly can't hold a candle to the original version by The Rolling Stones.

4 more posts and you will be all 4s mrjukebox. You know it was Mick himself that pretty much got her to record that song. Not sure if I heard this on AT40 or elsewhere but he was backstage at one of her concerts and asked her almost playfully IIRC why she did not do any honest to goodness rock songs. And what came of that exchange was her recording "Tumbling Dice". I give her kudos for taking on the challenge.

The first of two times that I saw the Stones live was in Tucson in July of 1978 (the second was in Tempe in December 1981), at an indoor arena. During the show Mick very casually announced something to the effect that "someone you might recognize is going to come up on stage now and help us out". Out walks Linda and joins in a duet on, yep, "Tumbling Dice". Totally unannounced, and a highlight of the show. And back then she looked quite fetching, a la the "Living In the USA" LP cover!

You lucky devil! Had I been in that audience, I would've spontaneously combusted when she came out. And dig this - there is a bootleg of that very duet up on YouTube (complete with slideshow - note the strategically placed Stones decal on her cutoffs): You got to roll me!

That brought back some memories--thanks! I remember that the concert was announced only about two weeks before the date, and when tickets went on sale early on a Saturday morning (if I recall), they sold out in under an hour. We just barely got ours. And it was indeed 'festival seating', i.e., cram as many as will possibly fit down on the open floor. This was still the year before The Who in Cincinnati and the banning (generally) of festival seating at indoor arenas. We wisely chose to stay in the seats and avoid the floor melee.

A few observations from this week's chart:
#34 More Than a Woman-Tavares Casey briefly said the brothers Tavares were from Massachusetts. Although they relocated to MA, they were born and raised in Rhode Island, as they were inducted into RI music hall of fame just last year.
#33 Baby Hold on-Eddie Money The following decade he borrowed a few words from the Ronnets "Be My Baby" to make and sing "Take Me Home Tonight" ("...just like Ronnie sang..." he turns over to Ronnie Spector). When he did "Baby Hold On", he sang shortly after he started "...whatever will be, will be...", but unlike Doris Day's "Que Sara Sara" "..."the future's not ours to see...", he sings "the future IS ours to see." And of course the legendary actress is nowhere to be seen.!!! What a coincidence...
#28 I'm Gonna Take Care of Everything-Rubicon Well, unlike the American groups known in the UK as 'The Detroit Spinners' or 'New York Skyy' or the British band 'The English Beat' known outside of North America as 'The Beat' (to avoid confusion with the local bands), there is no need to attach a country or city name to the American group or New Zealand group or British band 'Rubicon'outside of their home territories. Each ended up to be small enough in their respective own country or internationally to warrant being distinguishable from each other (not to ignore the fact there were by and large from different decades and charted mostly in their own countries).
