I’ll also change out two extras due to the recent deaths of Ray Sawyer and Daryl Dragon: * “Lonely Night (Angel Face)” — Captain and Tennille. Not yet on the charts but just released as their new single. * “Only Sixteen” — Dr. Hook. * December 1963 (Oh What a Night)” — Four Seasons f. Frankie Valli. Brian Sorry, no Captain and Tennille nor Dr. Hook OPTINAL EXTRAS for 1/10/1976, but the AT40 extra of "Teen Angel" is an OPTIONAL EXTRA.

The chart action on the 1/10/76 survey is what I would consider boring. Exactly half the songs in the Top 40 move up two notches... There are no big impact debuts, and the whole Top 40 is focused on two big moves in the top 6, 4 songs with significant drops, and 2 songs outside the Top 10 that move up more than 5 notches... Well, the Cash Box top 40 for the same week probably would put you to sleep. There are 15 records that each move one notch (including eight of the top ten), and four more that jump two spots. The biggest mover is "Love to Love You Baby," #24 to #14. The BB and CB top 40's have 35 singles in common. Meanwhile, on that week's Record World chart, there's plenty of action. Only five songs climb one notch, and two songs climb two. The biggest movers are "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover," #30 to #19, and "Squeeze Box," #35 to #24. There is only one debut, "All by Myself." The BB and RW top 40's have 33 singles in common.

Maybe such little chart action at the beginning of 1976 is what led Billboard to introducing the 'frozen' week (of course, it could have been 'cold' temps as well) .

Well - somewhat disappointed since this was played in 2014. Would have rather had 01.16.71 or 01.13.73. Decent chance we'll get 1/16/71 next week I think. 1/13/73 was last played as an 'A' in 2011. I would think that to be unlikely since they just played 12/2/72 last month, but that logic is completely out the window with the selection of this week's show.

The 1972 optional extras are: "Old Man" Neil Young
Left field choice. As Larry mentioned, it was from Billboard's #1 album of 1972.

AT40 used the promotional edit of "American Pie" in the original Top 50 of the 70s show. And on the 1980 AT40 Book of Records special the full 8 minute version of "American Pie" was played. Also the full version of "American Pie" by Don McLean was played on AT40 from 1/8/72 & 1/22/72.

WVLI is airing June 21, 1975 (currently in hour 2). Since the station will probably air January 10, 1981 afterwards, WVLI is going to wind up playing The Captain & Tennille's biggest hits back to back.
CKSJ is airing last year's 1/14/78 show. XM is airing 1/7/78 this weekend.
Note: WVLI actually aired June 14, 1980 instead of January 10, 1981. That show included Dr Hook's highest charting single.

And on 3/18/72, when Casey said it would probably be the song's last week on AT40 and so they decided to play the full version; it actually stayed on for one more week, which was the one Dick Clark guest hosted (he played an abbreviated version.) Also the full eight-plus minutes were aired on 1/20/79, when it came up in the "AT40 Archives" rotation; here the longer version was welcome as it was only a few months after the show went to four hours and they were looking for extras and other ways to fill the time.

Yes, apparently WVLI decided to relive the third weekend of June 2018, when 6/21/75 and 6/14/80 were Premiere's two "A" show offerings.

"Affable-looking Fred Knoblock"--had to laugh at that one!

"Affable-looking Fred Knoblock"--had to laugh at that one! I've seen an "America's Top 10" from early 1981 (shouldn't this be in the 80s thread?) with Casey playing a bit of the "Killin' Time" video. Knoblock may well look "affable" (polite, pleasant, approachable), but Susan Anton looked considerably better than that!
