7/28/73 and I may have just found out when the idea of Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder singing together first got started. On Paul's RED ROSE SPEEDWAY Lp is a message in braille. It was upside down and 3 times the normal size of braille prose. It said, "We love you baby". It was a message from Paul and Linda to Stevie. BTW, 7 of the first 8 songs in this survey were soul songs although none of them were by Stevie who is absent from this survey.
That was in conjunction with "My Love". Then another Sir Paul hit. Did not realize that just by debuting at 21, "Live and Let Die" is already the biggest hit from the James Bond series. 6 previous hits with 2 each that peaked in the 20s and 80s and 2 others in between. Check that, it debuted at 29 last week but is 21 this week.

Good catch! Casey said that it peaked at 88. Must have been blurry eyed or something when he read the script. Or maybe the person who did the stats on that was, to turn an '8' into an '88'. BTW, the next week, "Live and Let Die" would indeed take over the biggest Bond film theme distinction by virtue of moving from 21 to 3.

Right now I'm at the end of 7/31/71, which incredibly is the only week that James Taylor ever spent at the top of the Hot 100, with "You've Got a Friend". How amazing is it, too, that it took him until just a few weeks ago to ever get a number one album? That week in 1971 his "Mud Slide Jim and the Blue Horizon" LP was kept out of the top spot on the album charts by "Tapestry".

I'm into the top 10 from 7/25/98, and it's choppy all over. I'm amazed at the amount of editing done on these shows, while at the same time being subjected to three LDDs during each countdown. That's about 20 minutes of air time wasted.

There's a few shows in 1998 that were subjected to what I deem the "mad scientist editor", with absolutely no rhyme or reason as to which songs were edited how or when.

It's 7/27/1985 right now, and there is a discrepancy between Ultimate Music Database and the show itself. Numbers 16 and 11 are flipped, with the show having "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis at 16 and "The Search is Over" by Survivor at 11. This chart discrepancy stays on UMD with the next week's chart, too.
Can anybody shed any light on this? Thanks.

In any case, AT40 got the Hot 100 positions right.

been using audacity today ripping some LP's to my hard drive using it to get rid of hum,scratches and correct the speed-it's one piece of freeware i wouldn't have any qualms about paying for Listened to the show from July 25th 1981,very amusing to hear casey's story about Phil Collins teaching dance moves for smith's crisps which Casey claims is a breakfast cereal!,smith's crisps are what you guys in the states call potato chips,hardly something you'd have for breakfast

(Not ME, mind you. I always eat a balanced breakfast, washed down with a energy drink.

I love how the creator of this thread wondered if it would ever "catch on". Anyway, I'm catching up on 7-21-79 and next the 1986 show from last weekend.

^^Those are two very fine shows from two fantastic summers for music, adam31. I have every show from both of those years, and have listened to every 1986 show from June and July this year except for the guest-hosted one on June 21.
I was disheartened as I listened to the CT40 from July 27, 1991 the other day and "Right Here Right Now" by Jesus Jones was once again edited, though it was the number one song for that week. There was a R&D in that fourth hour, too, for some unknown reason. So seven minutes of air time given to a non-countdown song prompted editing of the top song of the week. Seriously screwed up.
I also gave the Hall & Oates show from July 30, 1988 a listen the other day. It wasn't horrible, but surely AT40 could have gotten an actual guest-host for that week, as H&O certainly weren't cut out to be radio personalities. Though, they are from Philly, so I can't diss them too much.
