I apologize if this has been answered before, but on that Cue Sheet: 1. What do the letters in parentheses after each song signify? I noticed at least one entry where the parentheses were typed with nothing inside. 2. Is there any significance to the underlining beneath the titles of some of the songs? I believe the letters are either for BMI or ASCAP, music publishing. The underlined songs have stories to go with them. |

Sept. 19-20, 2020: Now lets go back to this week in 1978 - K.C. of The Sunshine Band, September 16, 1978 Wow, that was weird, they cut the whole Phil Rizzuto section out of Paradise by the Dashboard Light - never heard that before. Probably just done for length. Wow! That is a horrific edit! I didn’t listen to the show earlier. |

This show sounded like it was airing almost unedited, but then they get to the LDD and the letter is left in, the intro to the song is there, but the song is cut. How dumb!

The song in question was Dan Hill's "Sometimes When We Touch", from earlier in 1978. So there isn't even the "it's not a 70s song" excuse--and lately they haven't been editing out as many pre-1970s extras. Leaving in the letter but not the song was either an accident or simply idiotic. |

So apparently they re-edit the shows before re-airing them. |

After years of mostly editing on songs, they are now cutting out split logos, teasers, etc. It's really disappointing--that was why I stopped listening to SXM in the first place. |

Wow, that was weird, they cut the whole Phil Rizzuto section out of Paradise by the Dashboard Light - never heard that before. Probably just done for length. Tom Rounds prefaced that week's cue sheet with a somewhat snarky note about PBTDL suggesting that stations could cut it if they wished. www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1978-0916.pdfThis was the first of two weeks it was on AT40; had it charted a few weeks later, when the show went to four hours, they could have played more of it but may not have particularly wanted to. Love how he says "exorcizing this demon from the countdown"! I love the interview with Jim Steinman regarding Phil Rizzuto's spoken baseball part of this song -- how Phil had all kinds of trouble getting into character to sound like it was a real baseball game, and how they had to avoid telling him what his part would really be for! Good stuff... |

This is the show, by the way, where Casey explains at the outset that the
purpose of the show is to compare your local station's rankings against the
national chart rankings from Billboard (meaning it's not "the place to hear
all of favorite songs, unedited!")

For the record neither the Kissoon’s or Donny Osmond did the intro this week. It was the late Bill Withers, not sure why the others were posted.

Haha, this is also the week they played the wrong song by The Glass Bottle!
Instead of the hit "I Ain't Got Time Anymore" they played "The First Time."
Weird!

Actually, until AT40 began to broadcast nation wide most people outside of the music industry were not aware that there were national trades (charts) that tracked popular music. I think Casey is commenting more that sometimes what was playing or popular in your town might not be what would be popular nationwide. Many big hits in certain parts of the country were not big hits nationally--however, usually by the time a song reached the Top 20 on the national charts a hit was probably being played and sold all over the country. Before AT40, most people didn't know how their favorite 'local' hits were dong nationally--unless they had a subscription to a national trade (which was generally geared toward the music industry and therefore low in circulation). |
