^No, all the 70 and early 71 shows are always based on the chart date, not the date it was aired. I think that's a good idea - to use the chart date instead of the air date. There are probably very few people who listen to the show now that remember the exact air date back then. |

There are probably very few people who listen to the show now that remember the exact air date back then. The debut is a possible exception; perhaps wanting it to be dated patriotically befitting its title, SXM and possibly Premiere (and I think even Casey--note his recap of the show's history in his last 2009 countdowns) still refer it to it as the show from July 4, 1970. |

To be clear, is the original airdate for SXM's show 8/1/70, 8/8/70 or 8/15/70?

These back to back episodes of AT40 will start and end with "Rise" as it was #3 in last week's top 3 to start the 10/13/79 show and will 'rise' to #1 to conclude the 10/20/79 show.  I think the "Goodbye Girl" WAS the song that more fit that dedication story! It's not like they are reunited at the time of the LDD. wahoo, this DID happen last October where SXM played the week of 10/13/79 and Premiere the week of 10/20/79. We all made a big deal out of it because IIRC, it had not happened like that before. So just as then SXM is playing the earlier week's show and Premiere is playing the later week's show because SXM tends to plays shows from before the anniversary date while Premiere tends to do the opposite. Yeah you're right--the 10/13/79 and 10/20/79 shows were aired the same weekend. Had it wrong in my list...sorry about that. |

Sure--always a confusing deal that the chart and air dates don't align for those first 10 months. I can see why they did it, but a headache for us enthusiasts 40+ years later! |

My prediction for next weekend: August 26, 1978.

I have the Billboard chart from August 18, 1973. Interesting errors. The big one---the #1 song is listed as "THE MORNING AFTER-Diana Ross." It has all the writer, producer and label information for "TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING" by Diana Ross, the real #1 record. Maureen McGovern's song is listed correctly at #3. Also, at #31 the Isley Brothers song is listed as "MEET THAT LADY." My copy of the record reads "THAT LADY (Part 1)." I know their original version 9 years earlier was titled "WHO'S THAT LADY" but it was interesting seeing this listed three different ways on several radio station charts for a time in 1973. Also, Billboard did start listing "THAT LADY" correctly starting with the September 1, 1973 chart, but without the (Part 1). The other blazing error I can recall in Billboard was the song "GET ON THE GOOD FOOT, Part 1" by James Brown. It was listed as "GOOD FOOT, Part 1" for its entire 14-week run on the HOT 100 in the summer of 1972. I've never heard Casey play the Isley or Brown songs to see if he actually reads the Billboard titles. We'll see for the Isley song on the Sirius/XM show.

My prediction for next weekend: August 26, 1978. I'd guess that too, as SXM hasn't played 1978 in three months and that particular show has never been played by them. However, it arguably has been overplayed by Premiere, in 2007, 2009, and 2011. Then again, it does have AT40 historical significance (the first Long Distance Dedication, which being Neil Diamond's 1978 hit "Desiree" wouldn't be edited out.) |

He does say "Meet That Lady" and does not change to saying "That Lady" until it changes in Billboard. |

You guys may be right--if SXM hasn't aired that show yet, it would be a good candidate for next week, given the aforementioned significance of the first LDD. |

Thanks for the clarification, dukedeb about That Lady. Good thing he didn't go by the Billboard chart and announce The Morning After by Diana Ross!  |
