Now WPNC is playing the 1976 year-ender. Like the 1977 show, it looks as though this is the three-hour Top 40 of 1976, edited into three hours like it was in 2009 (and the way it is heard on the iHeartRadio channel during regular rotation).
I'm guessing the Top 36 of 1979 is coming up next.

This is the only time of year (minus the occasional long-distance dedication or extra) when we can hear countdown songs from the opposite time of the year. I just heard John Travolta's June song "Let Her In," which reminds me of the end of the school year and the beginning of summer. "Rhiannon" was a June song as well. We'll have lots more June songs for your December listening pleasure, such as "Sara Smile," "Shannon," "Silly Love Songs," and many more. In June, the only December songs we'd hear would be extras and LDDs. I must admit that the Travolta song was a guilty pleasure. Because I was not a TV watcher, I never recalled hearing the name until mid-June 1976, when "Let Her In" made the top 40. I am sure my 8th-grade classmates, most of them avid TV watchers, had heard of Travolta as far back as Fall 1975.
Have a happy New Year.
June-ingly years,
Bob R.

Oooh, that means the big 'whaaat?' at #2 is coming up in just under two hours. So they seem to be going backward a year at a time, with the exception of 1975, which was for some reason skipped.

"Next up, a song by a group with a stranger lineup of instruments than any other successful rock band, Casey's Coast-to-Coast, American Top 40, this is Casey Kasem on the year-end edition of American Top 40, the countdown of the Top 100 hits of the year, you know, your basic rock band is composed of a guitar, a bass, a keyboard instrument, and a set of drums, add 2 cellos, and a violin, and you've got a special kind of rock band called, The Electric Light Orchestra, and ELO has the 70th biggest hit of the year, in, Evil Woman..." - Casey Kasem's American Top 40 - The 70's from December 25th, 1976, "The Top 100 Hits of 1976"

Is that a misprint, or is the Lost 45's countdown on New Years' Day really a Top 200? Last September 2019, the Lost45 over the Labor day weekend didn't have a top 100. However, there was a special top 200 that was broadcast for six consecutive weekends from August till mid-September. And I think it's this show you'll hear on the New Year's Day.

Speaking of a station that is a bit slow to getting around to airing the B show, WQMV has been airing the Top 100 of 1978, bypassing hours 1 & 5.(currently in hour 6).

Sunday morning at 9, Casey counts down the Top 80 of 1973. It's a countdown that never happened originally since AT40 only did the top 40 of '73 back in the day. It's another Ken Martin special on WTOJ.

The A show is one of the three weekly countdowns featuring the full slice of American Pie. Ironically the B show will have a lot of songs edited as it was 10 months before the show went to four hours.
