Apparently this came as a surprise to Matt Allan who just came on after the marathon countdown and said "Thanks to the great Casey Kasem for allowing Magic Matt to wander around the studio, I thought I was supposed to be on three hours ago!!!"

There was a huge glitch for the intro to #19, If I Can't Have You. Casey starts to into the song, by saying that it's from one of the biggest selling albums of the decade, then it cuts to the AT40 jingle, the goes into the Paul McCartney buying the Buddy Holly catalog and how Linda Ronstadt is helping promote his songs, then back into the If I Can't Have You intro.
Perhaps they will fix it for the other airings.

In honor of this weekend's Best of 1978 countdown, I'm reposting a silly little thing I wrote 6 or 7 years ago the last time they played this...
1978's Top 50 songs in a love letter
------------------------------------
Baby, you remind me of thunder island on the groove line, because you're slip sliding away. You're the goodbye girl and love is in the air. It's an everlasting love, but love will find a way. Our love. You usta' be my girl, but I'm one of the short people. Our magnet and steel is like dust in the wind. The closer I get to you, you're in my heart. I'm hot blooded and hopelessly devoted to you for our last dance. Sometimes when we touch you should take a chance on me. We're like Jack and Jill, and two out of three ain't bad. Dance with me before it's too much, too little, too late. I can't smile without you on Baker Street. We are the champions, but it's a heartache. Our love is like oxygen, like that hot child in the city. It feels so good to dance, dance, dance. If I can't have you, with a little luck you'll stay just the way you are. My emotion says you're the one that I want. I go crazy and grease is the word, but you're three times a lady. Let's boogie oogie oogie because love is thicker than water. Baby come back. How deep is your love while I kiss you all over? I'm stayin' alive because you light up my life. I have night fever so let's go shadow dancing.
--DDA

January 8, 1977 this week. (Last week they played the complete top 100 of 1978, in one block that lasted 6 hours and 11 minutes.)
I'll note that just three weeks ago SXM played December 18, 1976, which included most of the same songs. That was originally followed by two weeks of the top 100 of 1976, which Premiere just ran. So if you're especially partial to the music or countdowns of 1976-77, this apparently is your year.

The alternating between consecutive shows on the 2 series will apparently continue with the 1/15/77 show on Premiere next week.

They seem to do that a lot, get stuck in one end or or the other. I liked it better when they would "ping pong" back and forth from end to end of the decade.

Just listening to last weekend's show, Jan 8, 1977. At #30 was "Cherchex La Femme" by Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. At the intro and the outro Casey didn't say "Buzzard" like the bird, but "Buh - ZARD". Is that right? I've heard this song on the radio since 1976, but never heard the group's name pronounced that way. Have I been misled all these years?

January 16, 1971 this week. OK in and of itself, but they ran December 26, 1970, with most of the same songs, just three weeks ago. SXM did much the same last week, running January 1977 less than a month after playing December 1976.

I'm not a huge fan of the early shows. The songs are fine, but Casey hadn't became "Casey" yet. He had a very generic, AM radio DJ voice. His delivery is very straightforward, the personality hadn't developed yet.
It has nothing to do with the fact that I wouldn't be born for another five months when this show aired! ;P
