Nov. 9-10, 2024: Now let’s go back to this week in 1975 - Brian May - November 8, 1975 A lot of early fade-outs in this one, which I assume were in the original show. But Sirius chopped it down quite a bit further, as the entire show runs just under 2 hr, 15 min. |

This was just when they began including more extras and related stories in the show (along with the new “Shuckatoom” theme), after three years when extras were seldom played. That of course necessitated more editing, which culminated in the 1978 expansion to four hours.

Wheel of Casey this week: May 19, 1979. And this show contains the one-and-only Top 40 hits by two solo acts who both share the initials "R.V." |

Wheel of Casey this week: May 19, 1979. And this show contains the one-and-only Top 40 hits by two solo acts who both share the initials "R.V." One of whom said he'd be bigger than Johnny Mathis and Frank Sinatra. Casey quoted him as saying "I plan to be around forever. I won't stop in five years; in five years I'll just be starting". Even his (only) hit said that: "You better get used to it, 'cause I'll be around". We have a thread about the "Casey Kasem jinx" in which he predicted things of songs or artists that didn't pan out, but this RV may have jinxed himself. |

Unusual that we get 1970s AT40s that were originally four hours in length from both Premiere and SXM this weekend, something that's only possible in the last three months of the year (unless both played the same year, which they try to avoid). Plus the random Wheel of Casey show this week was also from 1979, albeit six months earlier in the year.
And if we combine the 70s and 80s countdowns from both services, this week we get four consecutive years, from 1978 to 1981.

Nov. 16-17, 2024: Now let’s go back to this week in 1979 - Gloria Gaynor - November 17, 1979 A show in which a full quarter of the 40 songs are past, present, or future #1s: 7 in the top 10, one previous chart-topper just below the 10, and two more future #1s in the 20s. Same for last week's Premiere offering from the week prior in which those two future #1s debuted. |

I am hoping we get the overdue 1973--great music in November of that year.
