Was indeed 06.19.71. And though much better quality from last week's 1000 pops -was a continual minor 1-2 pop that I heard through headphones.

During the rock era, Tony Bennett has 31 Top 100 entries with only one - In the Middle of an Island reaching the Top 10 at #9. He did have some hits from the pre-rock era that probably went Top 10. Tim Bennett made the top 10 on the singles chart 6 times from 1951-54 (assuming the "rock era" means 1955 on.) Three of those hits went to #1: "Because of You", "Cold, Cold Heart", and "Rags to Riches".

I wonder if Sirius XM will consider doing a two-show offer in the future? To me, this would only apply to the shows from 70-72 and four hour shows from 78-79 like Premiere does when they offer the A/B shows. Saturday would be the first show, Sunday the second, and Monday being the best of the two shows, I suppose.

As us long time followers of American Top 40 know, Casey always does an introduction before each song. Does anyone know why sometimes on SiruisXM there is no introduction for certain songs? The songs simply start playing without an introduction from Casey. I assume that the introductions are edited. Does anyone know the reason why Casey's introductions are being edited out for certain songs?

I listen to the countdown every week on SXM but I don't think I've ever heard the song just start. Do you have some examples? It's possible I've missed something.

I wonder if SXM will play the 7/1/78 "Top 40 Acts of the 70's" special, or go with the regular 6/24/78 show? The 70's on 7 page doesn't promote the special, it just mentions the 1978 year, so my guess is 6/24/78. --DDA

The songs simply start playing without an introduction from Casey. I assume that the introductions are edited. Does anyone know the reason why Casey's introductions are being edited out for certain songs? My guess is what you're referring to is when SXM cuts out the closing hour theme from the previous hour and goes straight into the number jingle for the next hour. If that next song starts cold (i.e. "Here's LeFreak by Chic"...followed by the number jingle and then the song), or if it's front-announced by Casey prior to the number jingle (which happens on occasion), then SXM is cutting everything prior to the number jingle out. This editing is part of the overall method in which SXM treats the shows, which is totally disrespectful in my opinion. They always cut out 1/2 of the split logos (i.e. only play one side of the "Casey's Coast to Coast" and "AT40" logos). And the end-hour themes are all gone. If you follow the original cue sheets, you'll see that the end of each hour has a closing theme and talk from Casey "...we've got the 20 hottest hits still to come" (which Premiere plays for a few seconds before fading into network spots). And the next hour has an opening theme, which often contains new station mentions. SXM obviously feels these elements disrupt the continuity of the show, so they feel compelled to edit them out. A few years ago, the geniuses at SXM attempted to cut out every single split logo and theme, to the point where it was just Casey talking, as if he was doing the show in one take. It sounded horrible. I guess they felt the leaving 1/2 of the split logos in place was a happy medium. I don't understand why they simply can't run the show the way it was originally broadcast instead of chopping it up like this.

The way SXM usually picks shows, it would make more sense for them to air 6/24/78 this weekend. Curious to see if they choose to air a special at all over the (long) weekend of the 4th.

I doubt they will skip ahead to the July 1st show for this weekend. How many times (on average, in a year) does SXM choose an air date that's actually AFTER the weekend the show is being played on SXM?

On the Sirius XM facebook page they have announced that they will play the very first AT 40 show, from July 4, 1970. It will be on July 4, at 3pm, Eastern time. And they added "no repeat". So it is safe to say that the weekend of July 6-7 will be some other year. I'm into 1979 right now, so I'm hoping for that. Get your cassette recorders ready!

I'll bet that none, if hardly any songs at all, get regular airplay on SXM, plus certain songs could be edited out due to another decade. It also goes to show that this 70s channel remains on auto-pilot and hasn't tweaked their playlist in a long time. Maybe we could call this show "The 40 Ignored Hits on SXM" regarding the first AT40 show.

Every week when the weeks show is posted you respond with basically the same thing. I think the point has been made that Sirius has a limited play list and they do a lot of editing. I don't think there is anyone who listens to Sirius is unaware of this. But let me guess there is a place where we can go to listen to every charted songs from the 70's right?

I can just see the gang at Sirius XM sitting at the editing board, slicing and dicing and removing as much Casey as they can! Which is like baseball deciding that the home run is just what the fans don't want to see. They want to watch the outfielders catch the ball! Ha! It will be interesting to see how they treat this most important show in the history of AT 40. Lord knows they market their playing of the shows heavily, and trade on Casey's good name. But then they treat him like a bug that is smashed on their windshield, and with each passing of the wipers a little more of him his lost.

Concerning XM playing the first AT40 show, it gives the time as 3pm-5pm. That should be a lot of editing to get the 3 hour show down to 120 min.
