Sorry I'm late for this, but here we go:
For 2/5/72: #1 Album: American Pie - Don McLean (3rd straight week) #1 Soul: "Let's Stay Together" - Al Green (5th straight week) #1 Country: "One's On The Way" - Loretta Lynn (written by Shel Silverstein)
BTW, this is one of the rare shows that Casey didn't announce the other chart-toppers, although he did say what the top album was.

Actually Casey did not make a point of mentioning the #1s on other charts until the 10/7/72 show which was aired by Premiere last year.

I've been listening to the '70s editions of AT40 chronologically and it looks like on the 4/15/1972 show, Casey started listing the other #1s. Those #1s were
Soul: "In The Rain" - The Dramatics Country: "My Hangup Is You" - Freddie Hart Album: "America" - America

Thanks Jdelachjr. Do you know when Casey began mentioning the air date at the end of the show? I know it was sometime in 1973.

Also, when did AT40 begin using Shuckatoom in the beginning of each hour instead of the moog theme? I know it's sometime between May and July, 1976.

Trying to answer 2 of the issues that were brought up in earlier posts today. Casey started mentioning the chart date on 7/14/73. As for the #1s on other charts, can anyone confirm the 4/15/72 date? I did not hear him mention other #1s until 10/7/72 and heard 2 shows from August of '72 in which he did not mention other #1s.

Duke Deb, JDelach is right (as usual). On 4/15/72, Casey did mention the top of the other charts.
