I'm just curious, but why is XM snubbing 1975 and 1977? I hope one of those two years gets played next week on XM (though I never subscribe to that channel). SXM really likes the early '70's. 1975 and later get played once in awhile, but if they play 1978 or 1979 they will then jump back to 1970,71,72,73 or 1974 for several weeks before going to 1975 and later for one week, then it's back to the early 70's for several weeks.

SXM has been known to have some insanely long droughts with certain years at times (and go overboard playing others). No apparent rhyme or reason...

FYI, a change to 1978 confirmed! Don't ask me why. Blah; not only did we just hear 1978 from Premiere last week, but this is the third time SXM has run 1978 since they last did 1977 (three and a half months ago.) And if it's 12/16/78, they played it just last year (like Premiere and 1974; is this Deja Vu week?) At least they'll play all four hours, though there are several older Christmas extras in 12/16/78 that will be deleted.

I was looking forward to possibly getting 12/17/77. Yes, SXM aired the '78 show last year and as always, they deleted all extras not originally from the 70's. Really kills part of what made this show special. A disappointment, not that it's anything new from SXM these days.

Here is a hint for this weekend's AT40... 1977!! Supposedly 1977 has been moved to next weekend!! (Dec 22nd) OK so question: is that the 12/17/77 show they will air, or the 12/24/77 show? If it is the show originally aired on 12/24/77, I believe that would be the first half of the 1977 Top 100 special. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what they aired, given that last year the year-end specials were 1970 and 1974, and the year before we got 1973 (and the top 50 of the 70's). Would make sense if SXM went with a late 70's show this time around.

They played the 1977 year-end show in 2007 and the only year-end show they haven't played is 1975. They also have not played the regular 12/17/77 show. So it would make sense that this week's 1977 show would be the regular, not the year-end one. Before this past week when they repeated the 1978, I'd almost guarantee they'd do the 1975 year-end show, but not anymore. They still might if SXM changes their mind like they've done before.

I don't know what is going on; but they just posted this weekend will be a REGULAR show 12/17/77. On air they just said the 1977 year end shows will air on "Xmas Eve and NYE" which are both Mondays?? I'm kind of confused by that, but like that arrangement, as I actually like the regular weekly shows somewhat better than the year end ones, and frankly any AT40 is more interesting than most of the 1970s (or 1980s) stations regular weekday playlist. If this is so, we apparently get a holiday feast of 1977 after several months of famine.

The shows from 1977 originally aired on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve so I think that's what they meant.

Finally some clarity! Dec 22: 12/17/77 (regular show!) Dec 29: YE 1975 #100-#51 Jan 5: YE 1975 #50-#1 Nice! I need both the '77 show and the '75 year-ender...

There was a lot of ties on the 1975 year-end chart that seems it could have been resolved. I could see a tie if 2 songs had similar Top 40 runs like All She Wants To Do Is Dance by Don Henley & Fresh by Kool & The Gang in 1985(see below). But those do not seem to occur frequently in the same year.
Don Henley 38-29-24-20-15-11-10-9-11-14-28 Kool & The Gang 34-27-25-18-17-11-10-9-15-18-25

The records listed as tied on BB's 1975 Year End Chart for the most part just happened to have the same point totals and BB chose not to break the ties. This also occurred on BB's 1974 Year End Chart. There are a couple of oddities in 1975. BB lists "Angie Baby" and "Wasted Days And Wasted Nights" as tie for #27, however the point total for "Angie Baby" is 1312 and the point total for WDAWN is 1336. The other oddity is "Jackie Blue" and "Fire" are not listed as a tie and both have 1302 points.

No, as mentioned above, it was part two of the 1975 top 100. I think SXM called it a 1976 show because the original air date was 1/3/76.
