Larry must not like the country chart. He didn't give us the #1, for that chart. Doubtful ... I didn’t hear the “Other No. 1s” segment but if that’s how it was in the original broadcast, that’s how it was. Guessing Casey mentioned “ Good Woman Blues” by Mel Tillis on the Dec. 4, 1976 show. (The song was a second-week No. 1 on Dec. 4.) Brian

Cue sheets: December 2, 1972: charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/12-02-72.pdfSo was thus the week the second set of commercial intro/putti cues began filtering into use? Extra picks: * “You’re So Vain” — Carly Simon. Only because it debuted at No. 99 ... one step ahead of another well-known debut ... * “The Cover Of the Rolling Stone” — Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. * “I Wanna Be With You” — The Raspberries.

(The song was a second-week No. 1 on Dec. 4.) Brian Casey announced the #1 soul song ("Dazz" by Brick), #1 country song ("Good Woman Blues"), and #1 album ( Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder) just before playing "Tonight's The Night." THAT's the reason why Larry avoided mentioning both the soul and country chart toppers in his recap.

For 12/2/72 extras I'll go with:
"Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight" "Superstition" "Oh Babe, What Would You Say?"

THAT's the reason why Larry avoided mentioning both the soul and country chart toppers in his recap. Yes, usually Casey mentioned #1's on the country, soul/R&B/"black singles", and album charts, and later the disco/dance club play chart as well. When Larry Morgan does these intros, he doesn't duplicate what Casey said but mentions #1's on other charts not mentioned in the show, such as adult contemporary (originally "easy listening") or rock tracks (which started in 1981; in this week's 80s show Larry mentioned that and the 12" dance singles sales chart).

Listening to 11/21/70, I didn't realize Casey was already mentioning Zager and Evans's dubious honor of having a #1 song as their only chart hit. Zager and Evans continued releasing singles through 1971 before drifting apart. Zager and Evans' record label may have continued releasing singles but according to Fred Bronson's book they had already decided to split up before "In The Year 2525" went to #1. That doesn't mean they couldn't have hit the Top 40 again of course (see The Zombies and Sheriff) but it was unlikely that they would. Their "2525" follow-up, the downbeat "Mr. Turnkey", is one of the most infamous flops in history: coming after a HUGE #1 hit on a major label, and despite airplay on the biggest Top 40 station in the nation, WABC (which was heard in 38 states at night!), it still couldn't crack the Hot 100. Deejays at WABC jokingly referred to the song as "Mr. Turkey".

Another "Kasey Jinx" this week: he intro-ed LRB's "Long Way There" by saying "it's a big one!" but it peaked at #28.

I'll go with Blue Haze-"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" Steely Dan-"Do It Again" Carly Simon-"You're So Vain"
When you hear Gary Glitter's "I Didn't Know I Loved You (Til I Saw You Rock n' Roll)", notice the guitar riff sounds similar to Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" from 1989.

Brian So you guess for the year ender for AT40: The 70's the 1972 Year End Countdown is the A show and the 1976 Year End Countdown is the B show? For AT40: The 80's I am hoping for 1986 for the year end countdown.

I would be surprised, as that show aired in 2007 (albeit edited down), whereas the year-end 1972 show is the only year end countdown that has never aired in any way, shape or form on the Premiere Radio Networks.

Brian Agree. Three, maybe four: "I Can See Clearly Now", "I'd Love You To Want Me", "Garden Party", and maybe "Freddie's Dead". OTOH, I'll bet there are as many or more songs from the as-yet-upcoming December 1971 show that are in the year-end 1972 show.
