SXM 80s is playing January 25 1986... Hmm... I recorded the 8 PM 80s broadcast, and it was 1/19/85, the same one as they ran last week (and only two weeks apart from what Premiere ran.) Was that by mistake? negative. The 8pm broadcast/satcast is simply a replay of last weeks show. |

And the 2/2/74 show on Sirius-XM is heavily edited again.
I sent an email to XM yesterday mentioning that the 80's version of AT 40 is played without cuts, so why can't the 70's version of AT 40 be played the same way?
I ended my email saying if the show continues to be edited, then they are forcing me to consider cancelling my Sirius-XM subscription.

SXM 70s is playing February 2 1974 today... That was one surreal moment in the early part of today's AT40 show with Casey outroing Cher's "Dark Lady" by singing part of the lyrics (Which Pete warned us about in his "AT40: The 70s" book), rivaling his outro of Wing and A Prayer's "Baby Face" from last week's (1/31/1976) show (Which Pete neglected to warn us about!!!  ) I also remember a few more "surreal moments" from Casey's AT40 run. There was that 1987 show where he sang along with the "Uh-oh, uh-oh" fade-out to Gloria Estefan's "Falling In Love", and one other show from sometime in the mid-80s (It was probably 1983 or 1984) where he sang part of "I Got Rhythm". Does anyone out there remember that one? |

I ended my email saying if the show continues to be edited, then they are forcing me to consider cancelling my Sirius-XM subscription. Though they interestingly did manage to include the full 7:20 version of Stevie Wonder's "Living For the City", including the arrest scene (complete with cop using racial slur.) XM also wisely didn't edit down the topical spoken word "Americans" by Gordon Sinclair, though it lasts five minutes; it helped that the version of the same record by Byron McGregor was skipped (by Casey in the original broadcast, not by XM.) For the 80s shows, I gather from the posts and what I've heard that the 12 noon show is this week's, while 8 PM is last weeks? This week I recorded the 8 PM show and it was 1986, not 1987. (I record that one since the noon broadcast conflicts with the Rick Dees 90s show, and I'd like to hear all three decades every week.) |

SXM 70s is playing February 12 1972 today... Pretty cool show so far. On another note, it's strange that we have not heard from either 1977 or 1978 since the SXM merger, although they did play one 1979 show.  I'm pulling for a 1978 next week. |

Yes, I have given up hope on hearing late 70's shows anymore. I wonder what the rationale is behind this?

For all the sometimes clumsy edits of the 70s shows, I like how XM/Sirius left in the extra of Johnnie Ray's "Cry", which was #1 20 years ago that week--in 1952, prior to the start of the "rock era". Premiere probably would have deleted it. Speaking of clumsy editing, though, I noticed a big goof in the editing of the 2/7/87 show, first run last week and rerun this week (at 8 PM.) Casey says that "now we're up to one of two remakes in the countdown" referring to Corey Hart's cover of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love"--but XM ran this AFTER playing Corey's record! (Not only that, but Casey got the date of the charting of Elvis' version wrong--it originally hit the chart in December 1961, not December 1962 as was said.) Also, Ready For the World's "Love You Down" was omitted altogether--what was up with that? Lately the editing on the 70s show that many here complain about has been better than that on the 80s show, which has been sloppy at best for the last couple of weeks. |

Bummer. This week's countdown is a repeat of the 2/18/78 countdown last week on Premiere.  |

At least Premiere's version went unedited (other than removing "You Haven't Done Nothin'" for use as an optional extra). Out of curiosity, where did AT40 play Stevie Wonder's song (between songs)?
UPDATE: AT40 placed Stevie between songs #4 ("We Are The Champions") and #3 ("Just The Way You Are")
