I guess this was done so we will enjoy the Top 300 of the 70's next weekend.

I think from an announcer a few minutes ago, the show is going to repeat in its normal time around Noon.

How many of you caught the montage of #1 songs that Casey played before he played the #1 song on the 1975 year end countdown? Hoo Boy, did somebody mess that up big time!! The snippets were supposed to be in chronological order, from Nov 74 to Nov 75, but it wasn't long before I noticed the order was seriously out of whack. It began with the first 3 or 4 song of 1975, then it went back to one of the songs from late '74, then I lost track of the subsequent instances of jumping around (there were several). Ironically, at the very end of the show, Casey featured the voices of most of his behind-the-scenes crew (Don Bustany, Tom Rounds, etc.), for the sake of giving them recognition for their work. Obviously, one or more of them were to blame for the montage debacle. I wonder whether, behind the scenes, Casey would later go on an expletive-filled rant about the mess-up, demanding somebody use their f--king brain to put forth a g-- d--- concerted effort next time.  |

Long time since I posted here but I got SiriusXM as a result of a new car purchase and just happened to catch the last part of this top 100 of 1975. Yes I noticed how that montage jumped around in anything but chronological order. But Casey also said it was to include all the #1 songs except for the #1 song of the year during the survey period which he stated as November 1974 to November 1975. However, I never heard any #1 songs from either Nov. 1974 or Nov. 1975. And it would have to be Nov. 1974 that should have been included as the survey period was more specifically Nov. 1, 1974 to Nov. 1, 1975. Maybe they only played the #1 songs that made the top 100 as those from Nov. 1974 probably missed the Top 100 on account of their chart lives being cut off too much. In any case, a poor job there!

Of course songs that peaked in November were ripped off throughout the 70s in the year end surveys. Coincidentally I heard the other day on one of the AT40 Facebook pages a montage of #1 songs for 1979 that someone did since AT40 stopped doing them that year. In this case it was basically the opposite of the 1975 montage as far as the November #1 songs were concerned. He started with "You Needed Me" and ended with "Still", meaning he included almost every #1 song from November 1978 and November 1979. Not including "No More Tears" I suppose because it stayed at #1 into December.

Similar story here--finally bought a new vehicle last month ('20 Buick Encore GX), so I have free Sirius-XM until May '21. And I did her the '75 montage today, along with a good chunk of both ends of the countdown. The oldest #1 played was "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet". Do not recall hearing the following #1 (as yes, it was out of chronological order), "Whatever Gets You Through the Night", but do recall all of the subsequent #1s, starting with "I Can Help". Most recent #1 in the montage was "Bad Blood". |

Outside of the #1's, this countdown includes one of the more notable oddities, or possibly mistakes, in Billboard year end tabulations. Grand Funk's "Some Kind of Wonderful" ranks at #6, despite the fact that it only peaked at #3 (everything else from #1-#16 hit #1), and didn't have an exceptionally long chart run.

I know it has been brought up on these boards before. If my fading memory isn't shot, I think someone did the math and determined that it should have been somewhere in the 30s, using BB's criteria. |

I guess it would have been a nightmare to adjust each song from where "Some Kind of Wonderful" would have been ranked. Each song from where SKOW's new position would have had to be moved up one position.

What a difference a year made: 1974--out of the Top 17 songs of the year less than half (8) made number one. |

According to vince, Wonderful should have been ranked at #55. The next time Premiere runs the year end 1975 show, Ken Martin could do his editing and add a statement by Casey indicating the mistake as he actually did in a 1977 show. Then, he mentioned how three songs were in the wrong positions as the staff was alerted by Billboard while they were recording the show.

I don't understand how a mistake like that can be made with a difference of 49 positions! Is the tallying left to one person?
