Top 40 weeks of specials

[kirkm]

Just curious if anyone has any links to sites that would have listings of the Top 40 during the weeks AT40 had specials.

[jdelachjr2002]

I could easily do from October 1972 forward but not weeks before.

Please let me know if you need any for Casey's Top 40. I hope to write a book or create a site like at40fantoo has done for AT40 with Shadoe. I'm going through and putting together playlists for each week by listening to the shows that I have.

[cursereversed]

jdelach (and anyone else who may have access to this info) , this topic dovetails with something I've been wondering for a while. I know there have been instances where AT40 played the wrong song by mistake (usually the B-side) but generally the song they were supposed to play stayed on the chart for more then 1 week and so was played eventually. Was there ever a song that only spent 1 week on AT40 but was never played because there was a special countdown that week?

Those Joel Whitburn books,which have all the "Hot 100" charts,are worth their weight in gold-I own all five volumes in the series.

[mrjukebox]

By the way,the correct title of the Joe Simon song is "Theme from Cleopatra Jones".

[jdelachjr2002]

Songs that never got played on AT40 due to specials:

1971:
"Can I Get A Witness" - Lee Michaels (debuted 12/25; #39; 1 week)

1973:
"I Can't Stand The Rain" - Ann Peebles (debuted 12/22; #38; 1 week)
"Tell Her She's Lovely" - El Chicano (debuted 12/22; #40; 1 week)

1980:
"Clones (We're All)" - Alice Cooper (debuted 7/5; #40; 1 week)

That's all.

[mrjukebox]

"Can I Get A Witness" is a remake of the Marvin Gaye smash from 1963.

[mrjukebox]

"I Can't Stand The Rain" was remade in 1978 by a group called Eruption.
