Just getting around to listening to the Top 100 of '75 show (recorded it) -- Casey said #63 was "Only Women, by Alice Cooper". Heh, 70's censorship was silly.

The Wheel of Casey tonight lands on--not Casey at all. It's the Wink Martindale guest-hosted show, from October 11, 1975.

I am sure this has been addressed before, but please forgive the repetition, but didn't the "frozen" week count for Rod Stewart's "Tonight's The Night?" If it did it would have totaled 8 weeks at #1. Again, this may have been previously posted, but for new members or old in age members like me, can someone please post if the frozen week counted? Thanks. Jeff

Not sure if you are asking that because Don Felder may have said 7 weeks instead of 8 weeks. For the record, Casey also said 7 weeks instead of 8 weeks. Unless it has changed, Billboard and Joel Whitburn do credit the frozen week to the song which was #1 the week before the frozen week. As for Casey and AT40, they did not credit the week before the frozen week #1 song with the frozen week until 1979. So "Tonight's the Night" and "Le Freak", which are the 2 examples of #1 hits which were #1 before the frozen week but not after it, were not given credit for the frozen week. This changed when they aired the top hits of the disco era in July 1979. That is the first time that Casey mentioned "Le Freak", which was the #1 song in that special, as having 6 weeks at #1 instead of the 5 weeks that he had said prior to that point. Btw, I think the best way to handle this is to simply split the week between the 2 hits bridging the frozen week at #1. So I would give Tonight 7 and a half weeks at #1 and "You Don't Have to be a Star" 1 and half weeks at #1. Since you really don't know which one would have been on top had there not been a frozen week.

Thanks for that great explanation. It was only Casey that mentioned it right around the time he played the song.

The Wheel Of Casey lands on 3/16/74. A few fun facts about the Top 40 chart for March 16, 1974… --according to the Hot 100, eight singles within the countdown were certified million sellers --Charlie Rich had two songs simultaneously climbing the survey (“There Won’t Be Anymore” and “A Very Special Love Song”) --11 artists represented five foreign countries (UK, Spain, Holland, Canada and Australia) --songs by Aretha Franklin (“Until You Come Back To Me”) and Olivia Newton-John (“Let Me Be There”) were the oldest in the countdown (14 weeks) --after 10 years and six Top 40 hits, B.B. King made his final AT40 appearance this week --Ringo Starr was in his final week in the Top 40 with “You’re Sixteen” but replaced himself the following week with “Oh My My” --from the ‘Something For Everyone’ department, the early 1974 trend of genre variety within the Top 40 survey continued, represented by rock, country, R&B, easy listening, instrumental, God rock, funk, foreign language, novelty, and movie soundtrack music --and in the world of radio, with Harry Chapin’s WOLD debuting this week at #40, a note in the 3/16/74 issue of Billboard revealed that radio’s real WOLD was country-formatted and located in Marion, Virginia, with an automation system morning deejay based in Los Angeles. An interesting, and somewhat ironic, glance at the radio profession, past and present. I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D,
Playing all the hits for you
Wherever you may be.
The bright good morning voice
Who's heard but never seen,
Feeling all of 45 going on 15.
I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D.

One more interesting note about the chart from March 16, 1974--Rock Around The Clock by Bill Halley (and his Comets) debuted at #99 on Billboard; nearly 20 years after it was first released. By the way, regarding W-O-L-D by Harry Chapin, I recall the first radio station I worked at in Alabama , there was salesman/DJ working there that would've been representative of the lyrics of that song. |

Started out with "Most of All" which I have never heard in my life! It only peaked at #38, the following week. This included all three original extras, including the Platters' "To Each His Own" (1960), the Lettermen's "Hurt So Bad" (1969), and Patti Page's "The Tennessee Waltz" (1950-51). But the Platters and Patti Page extras weren't in their original places in the countdown. |
