Another good show to play would be June 30, 1979--that's when the top 5 were all women and Donna had two of those songs in the top 3. A poor choice would be to play the Top 40 Disco special of July 7, 1979 since Donna stated that she did NOT want to be known as the Queen of Disco. They just played the disco special last year, so there's a good argument against it. If they want to play a show with Donna at #1, there are eight to choose from that were aired in June-August 1979. I'd like to see Premiere do a June 1979 show with "Hot Stuff" on top, as they've never run that month.

I had already money on that happening (rhetorically speaking of course) and with this death, I would triple my wager on that happening.

So is it definitely 5/19/73 this weekend? Someone here reported that they heard it spoken fast and weren't sure.

Whew...thought last night they were going to preempt the 1973 AT40 show for the Robin Gibb tribute, then finally they came in with the show at around 11:15 CT. I had a whale of a time recording this weekend and was down to my last shot to get this show...

Anyone feeling charitable?
I also had terrible time recording the 5-19-73 show - with a few digital breaks where part of the song and/or Casey's comments were lost. I managed most of these by recoring the show twice, but both lost a portion of #15, Cisco Kid, along with Casey's comments at end.
I would be most grateful if someone would send me the song or at least Casey's comments at the end.

This weekend; 1978!!! Great Bee Gees tribute show and my personal favorite; You're The Love by Seals & Crofts. Nice! "You're the Love" was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid...and I have to confess that for years never knew it was Seals and Crofts that sang it...

I agree with you guys,some people label it as disco.It may be but it was still a good song. TZMAC I sent you the portion of AT40 you requested.

Is it safe to say this 1978 weekend will be the 5/27/78 show?

There's no good recent example of them skipping ahead or behind, even by a week, and besides last year they played the following week, 6/3/78. (BTW, at that same time Premiere ran 5/27/78; maybe this year the services will reverse shows?)

Wow...they announced already? Guessing 6/1/74? Looks like I can blow off the SXM for a second straight week...

By my count, this is the 4th SXM 1974 show since Feb. Must be trying to make up for the lack of 74 in prior years. That makes my early favorite for the following week 1977. That's three times they've played 1974 since they last did 1975, and twice since they last played 1971, 72, or 77; there was also the long 1973 drought that just ended last weekend. Maybe they did neglect 1974 at times before, but this is starting to resemble overkill. I just hope it sounds better than the last couple of 1974 countdowns SXM has played.

Maybe they did neglect 1974 at times before, but this is starting to resemble overkill. I just hope it sounds better than the last couple of 1974 countdowns SXM has played. Here is what I think happened. When SXM played the 4/27/74 show, it was not originally scheduled. I think they played this show as a tribute to the late Don Cornelius because "The Sound of Philly" was at #1. In so doing, they axed the scheduled show which I am guessing was the 4/26/75 show. Then the next week, they went back to their original schedule instead of pushing everything back a week. So that is why 1975 has not been played in 3 months and why 1974 is being played again next week (because they have not adjusted their schedule after playing the 4/27/74 show). BTW, if all this is true, it marks the second straight year an April 1975 show has been bumped by SXM as they did their fake 1970 show instead of the 4/12/75 show last year IIRC.
