This week's show (spoiler) has Chic's LeFreak at #1. The song would break a record by returning to Number 1 two additional times after dropping.

This week's show (spoiler) has Chic's LeFreak at #1. The song would break a record by returning to Number 1 two additional times after dropping. 45 years later, that song is interpolated into the current hit "Freak 54 (Freak Out)", by Pitbull featuring Chic's Nile Rodgers. And in recent years three different songs have replicated the three times at #1 feat on AT40, they being "Circles"(Post Malone), "Blinding Lights" (The Weeknd), and "Cruel Summer" (Taylor Swift). After playing Andy Gibb's "Our Love (Don't Throw It All Away)" at #10, Sirius XM's display weirdly then listed the same song again as an extra. But at least the correct song was heard at #9 (Dr. Hook's "Sharing the Night Together".)

'Hope you like 'Bicycle Race'--without any fat-bottomed girls riding on the bikes--'cause we're gonna play it twice today!'

'Hope you like 'Bicycle Race'--without any fat-bottomed girls riding on the bikes--'cause we're gonna play it twice today!' Yes, that was repeated right after its chart placement (#31) and leading into the first Archives extra (“Want Ads”). As a result, this is probably the longest ever regular (not year end or special) 70s AT40 played by SXM: a complete four hour show with no songs cut and one mistakenly repeated, and they even played out the full “Shuckatoom” theme at the end (even Premiere usually plays an edited version now.)

Reviewing my recording of the Wheel 4/24/76 show aired last night, and they played the #1 song, Johnnie Taylor's Disco Lady, twice at the end, separated by the full Shockatoom outtro theme song. Anyone else catch that? Sounds like an editing error, as they faded the outtro "normally" the second time. --DDA

Programming carelessness.

They played the split logo to open a commercial break after playing #11, then . . . when the "American Top 40" jingle should have been played . . . they played #10. Then, after #10 was finished, they played the "American Top 40" jingle. How goofy is that?

Interesting how this week SXM 7 & 8 give us the same years as Premiere featured last week, with each show moved up a week to 12/13/75 and 12/18/82.

What the heck? Heard less than a minute of "Winners and Losers" at #39, then the show skipped to a jingle and "Love Machine" at 38! Did it do the same during the way-too-early-for-us-Westerners initial airing?

Casey/staff 'error': In the intro to "Full Of Fire", Casey states that "Tired Of Being Alone" was Al Green's first solo release minus former backing group The Soul Mates. It was not. Late '70/early '71, his remake of "I Can't Get Next To You" made it to #60 on the Hot 100, and was a local hit in my area.
