Looks like November 19, 1977 is on tap for this weekend. Five songs on this one that we didn't hear last weekend on Premiere. Four of them relatively 'lost', especially High Inergy's sole hit and the Rollers' final one. One totally 'fried' early '78 #1 is the other debut. And, of course, our lives continue to be lit up. Three of them I'd call generally lost. Bob Welch's seems better remembered, in large part due to the Fleetwood Mac connection. Of the overplayed song, it was the only one of RSO Records' nine #1's from December 1977 to September 1978 that wasn't from a soundtrack and/or the Gibb family.

This weekend's show is announced as 1970--just three weeks after the last 1970 show? Not so strange, the programming on 70’s on 7 has been leaning quite heavily on the early part of the decade for the past year or so. Not just on the AT40 shows, across the board. 1970-1975 seems to be their main focus these days. When you look at the “random” Wheel of Casey shows you’ll see that they tend to lean towards the early shows. The regular weekly shows will dip into the latter part of the decade for a week or two, then jump back to first part for 3-4 weeks. They used to ping pong back and forth fairly evenly. They've never done 4 weeks. If you count 1975 as 'early' 70s three weeks has been done twice; 75, 73 and 74 in March and 71, 75, 73 in Sept. In the last ten weeks they have done nine years with only 1974 missing replaced by 1975 twice.

Does Sirius-XM replay the weekend '70s AT40 on Sunday evenings? I can't recall, and would like to catch the first two-thirds of this week's '70a show.

Casey already answered a trivia question for the most top 10 albums among solo females (by the end of October 1978), the champ being Barbra Streisand with 13. He must have counted both cast recordings of Funny Girl from 1964 and Funny Girl film soundtrack (but not A Star is Born soundtrack) to achieve the 13 figure. Anyway, the feat has been at least equaled 2 weeks ago by Taylor Swift, one of her many achievements this year.

Dancing With The Stars (please no bashing) did an excellent tribute to Taylor Swift this past Tuesday. She did a cameo from Brazil where she is currently touring.

Yesterday I also spent the first day of my whole week off work spending time in the multiplex watching 3 movies: 'Oppenheimer' (at long last), 'Dumb Money', but I started things with Taylor Swift: the Eras Tour. On the last one the theatre was almost empty, I guess it’s been about a month or two since the concert film’s premiere, so any Taylor local younger fans who wanted to see the film even multiple times have already seen it. Taylor’s craze might be repeated in cinemas in the upcoming week when Beyonce's new Renaissance concert tour film will be coming to a theater near you. They will market the upcoming beyonce movie the same , but one incredible fact around Taylor Swift film is that all of its record breaking in the box-office has been while the movie has been basically a weekend show (Thursday to Sunday or 4 days a week happening exclusively), unlike say Micheal Jakckson’s ‘This Is It’ or ELton John’s previous concert tour movies that were a full 7 days/week happenings. SAG-AFTRA's strike was one factor pushing Taylor Swift industry machine to try to have gotten an exemption and blessing from the union and by-pass the traditional distributor route and contact directly with chain multiplex chains all over the world, but this innovative wizardry in distribution was a clever deal as well now that the strike is over. Anyway I seriously recommend seeing the Taylor Swift Movie if you can. Fantastic concert film, hopefully will be nominated and win some awards in the next 3 or 4 months.

This week's Wheel show is from 10/28/78. In the last hour, Casey trumpeted ‘‘Someday We’ll Be Together’’ as Diana Ross & the Supremes as the 12th and last number one. A Song co-written at the beginning of the decade by Johnny Bristol and recorded as by ‘’Johnny & the Jackey’’ in 1961. The resuscitated version was really intended for Jr .walker and the allstars follow up to their top 5 hit ‘’What Does It Take to Win Your Heart’’, with the backing track already being recorded. But now we know it was hijacked by Berry Gordy and he decided it would be perfect for Diana Ross and her long awaited exit from the group . So instead of Diana Ross and the Supremes, it was really Diana Ross and 3 other female vocalists, and the Supremes are not on the record. But I don't know how much of these were known or ‘’were stuff of legends’’ in 1978 as it is now. Another case of ‘erroneous’ billed artists was 10 years before with a no. 2 on the Hot 100 from 1959. ‘’The All American Boy’ by Bill Parsons is NOT by Bill Parsons; It is singer-songwriter Bobby Bare on the record. Its demo was given to his friend Bill by him before Bobby went to the army. But Bill Parson’s record company gets the demo and thinks it's by Bill Parsons.

What does XM have against 1974? You might have a point. XM has aired 1974 once over the past 33 weekends. 11/23/74 is a possibility for this weekend. 1972 & 1973 look like the other options.
