For those who love the year end shows classic at40 airing now. What would be really neat is if the iHeartRadio Classic AT40 channel aired the "#1 Hits of the 1970s and 1980s" in one non-stop sweep. A possible suggestion for Labor Day Weekend?

Seems like WPAC started the show an hour earlier than usual?

So, if anyone wants to use the ondemand link to hear the first hour of 1976, you'll need to listen today. Not to keep anyone in suspense, after 1976 they played the 50 Top Hits of the 70's special.

Casey told a funny story in the 7/10/76 show about an Australian guy with the last name Abba, who was getting annoyed with people constantly calling him and singing the same-named group's songs. He was even hearing unasked-for dedications of their songs to him on the radio. Casey apologized to Mr. Abba but said "sorry, I have to do it" leading into "Mamma Mia". I guess if Long Distance Dedications had existed by then Casey would have refused to honour any such letters dedicating ABBA songs to the unlucky Sydney resident who didn't even really follow pop music.

Was Hippie Radio the only station that has #1 Hits of the 70's on this weekend? Anyone else know of a station playing that Ken Martin Special? I used to listen to holiday specials on WODC, but they no longer play Casey. WOON Woonsocket RI (Sat 1pm EDT) played last 3 hours of Part 4 Memorial Day weekend. WTKU Atlantic City (Sun 8am EDT) aired all 4 hours of Part 4 the next day. WSQL ran the last 3 hours of the #1 hits show (76-78) on the 4th at 1 local time and then they played the Triathalon of Rock n Roll following. WSQL started the 76 show earlier than normal today. They are in the third hour of the show at 6:30 eastern time.

Goof of the Week: Casey refers to Beethoven's 5th as having been written "107 years ago". Actually should've said 170. Typo on his script?

I assume that there are no other stations running the full, four-hour "#1 Hits Of The 1970s - Part 5" show?

Optional extras for 7/15/72:
Hour #1: "Iko Iko" - Dr. John (NR) Hour #2: "Everybody Plays The Fool" - Main Ingredient (#94; debuted) Hour #3: "Beautiful Sunday" - Daniel Boone (#58)
Premiere salutes the recently deceased Dr. John with an extra; it replaces the Rolling Stones' "Happy" which was used before. (BTW, we have yet to hear a 1973 show this year which includes his sole AT40 hit, "Right Place Wrong Time".)
7/15/78 is the same as in 2015:
Hour #1: "Love Is In The Air" - John Paul Young (#78; debuted) Hour #2: "You Needed Me" - Anne Murray (#88; debuted) Hour #3: "Kiss You All Over" - Exile (#72)
