Does one have to listen to 70's on 7 to hear one of the radio personalities state Saturday morning's show? I know jmack faithfully announced this during most of last year. With four weeks of yearend countdowns, it could really be any year except 1977, which played as yearend countdown on 12-23- and 12-30-23. I would like 1974 personally.

^70's on 7 use to give out the date about 5 minutes after the Wheel of Casey on Thursday night. Now they just advertise the show.
This weekend looks like 1973, 1976 or 1978. Consider:
1974, 1975 & 1977 have aired this decade. 1972 was a Wheel of Casey show. 1971 & 1979 are being featured by Premiere.
I like January 20, 1973 for the weekend since 1973 has not been featured since September.

Wheel of Casey: July 3, 1971. (Which I think we got from Premiere last summer?)
Oddly, an extra from the original show (Bobby Lewis’ “Tossin’ and Turnin’”) was heard not in its original place in the first hour, but just after the end of the second, with Casey’s original intro. It was treated just like a Premiere optional extra.
It also includes “Indian Reservation” at #2, led into with what Casey called “the most incredible story I’ve ever told on American Top 40”, as told by songwriter John D. Loudermilk.. It was also completely false, though that wasn’t known until much later (probably not until after 1975 when Casey retold it.)

Re: "Tossin' and Turnin'"s placement: that's exactly how it was played last Summer by Premiere. However, it was another 70's show recently that contained the lengthy Larry Morgan 'disclaimer' about the Loudermilk story.

The entire show that aired on "Wheel" last evening was the exact same show that aired on Premiere as it had been edited for M2S conversion. All of the edits, including false number jingles, and false commentary, and original AT40 Extras treated as Premiere Optional Extras, were in last night's airing on SXM. The Listener Question was also moved to suit Premiere's format, just as it aired last summer on Premiere.

Earlier in the show, Casey stated "I Love" by Tom T. Hall was the fastest moving song moving from 38 to 30. However, David Essex also had an 8 position move as Casey noted from 32 to 24, but no mention of a tie as fastest moving song.

Both versions of 'Americans' played on the show--surprising as they are so similar.

Not sure which one, but weren't there week(s) where one of the versions was omitted?

Not sure which one, but weren't there week(s) where one of the versions was omitted? This, I believe, was the only time when both were played. There were three additional weeks with both versions, but AT40 probably rightly determined that people didn't really want to hear the same editorial speech twice in less than three hours even if they were buying two different versions of it. Sinclair's version was the only one played on 2/2 and 2/16/74, and McGregor's on 2/9, as well as on 1/12, 1/19, and 2/23-3/9/74 as it was the only one in the top 40 those weeks.

Heck, I'd have been OK with not hearing either back then. Still holds today.

So much reminiscent of "Once You Understand" in early 1972. It was a message song, but once was enough to hear.
