FYI, the SiriusXM 70s Channel website lists the 1/20/1973 Countdown song chart. Too bad it's not this weekend's list!

Since it's going to be a pattern now for SXM not to announce the show that airs in the upcoming week, can someone please post the actual show every Saturday morning at 12 noon EST? (I don't mean the same person every week, but whoever gets to it first.) If it's a show I'm really wanting, I might actually renew for a period. So that's why I'd like to know as soon as the show starts airing on Saturdays. Thanks.

We've been posting as soon as we know what show is. Really wish they'd go back to announcing it earlier, even if it was just a day or so prior.

Thanks. That's a repeat of what previously aired on Premiere.

Yeah I started to record it because I didn't know what it was, did a search and saw I already have the Premiere show, so no need to record it.

Aw, cluck cluck, just missed hearing, cluck cluck, "In the Mood" by, cluck cluck, one notch from entering the top 40 at, cluck cluck, 1/29/77. Recall hearing it two years ago at the first weekend in February when SXM featured 2/05/77.

A pleasant surprise - SXM put in the long version of Blinded by the Light in today's show. The original cue sheet had the BBTL/TBTL segment at 6:53 - I clocked it at 10:50.

And that would definitely be SXM's doing--Pete B. said a few years back that the full 7+ minute version of "Blinded By the Light" was never played on AT40 during its chart run.

And now the question is why would they do that? Is that going to be a new thing, cut segments and bumpers to add in longer versions?

I didn't hear anything cut that they wouldn't have cut before (which mostly shouldn't have been cut in the first place.) SXM does have the freedom to lengthen its broadcasts a bit, as unlike the original airings or Premiere's they don't have to make sure everything fits into a strict three or four hour bloc with commercials. While I typically prefer authenticity, I don't mind adding in longer or full versions of songs that often had to be severely chopped up in the original countdowns--provided, of course, that they are the original hit recordings, not re-recorded, remixed, or otherwise altered.

Agreed--as I've mentioned before, I have a feeling that SXM is contractually obligated to cut out the listener questions, jingles, teasers, etc. Editing in the longer versions of songs actually provides an incentive to tune into their presentations of the shows, which wasn't there before. It's the one way that SXM's airings of the shows give something extra for the listener over the Premiere airings.

The Top 5 singles from 01/29/77 all hit the R&B chart (Hot Soul Singles) including "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" which won a grammy for best r&b song despite only reaching #43 on the R&B chart.
The previous week (01/22/77) the Top 6 songs hit the R&B chart.

Pretty good quality on the 02.03.79 show. Sirius XM only edited out the two 60's extras - This Guy's in Love With You and Louie Louie.
