I should've clarified: 1974 wouldn't have worked as an 'A' show for next week...since the 10/5/74 show is a special, and the 10/12/74 show was aired just two years ago. The 10/5/74 special (Top Producers of the 1970s) actually was aired as a regularly scheduled Premiere show, with no alternate, in October 2009. On Labour Day weekend in 2012 it was repeated as a B. |

Thank God that there are some stations who CARE to give us the full 4-hour '70s shows, when Premiere offers 'em. Shame on you PDs who don't do that!

I believe the show that used the Oct. 3, 1970 chart was the last one to feature songs in the top 40 that were also on the first show. "(They Long to Be) Close to You," "Spill the Wine" and "Make It With You" were all on the July 11 chart (for that first program) and were all still within the top 40 with the Oct. 3 chart.
Meaning this program, using the Oct. 10 chart, was the first to not feature a song from the top 40 of July 11, 1970.
Confused? Well, you won't be with these extras, which assumes all songs that had yet to debut in the top 40 and that all OEs were left in place:
* "Montego Bay" - Bobby Bloom.
* "For the Good Times" - Ray Price. Although it's been a couple of years, one possibility is they'd mention Ray's 2013 viral battle with Blake Shelton over the sales viability of classic country music.
* "See Me, Feel Me" - The Who.
As far as original extras, I'd see them keeping The Browns (particularly with the passing of Jim Ed Brown earlier this year), CCR and "Love is Blue" by Paul Mauriat. Which would mean the cancelation of:
* "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto -- although the story there could be that A Taste of Honey translated the lyrics into English and made it a top 5 hit in 1981.
* "Tel-Star" by the Tornadoes, from December 1962/January 1963, although the backstory could be that it was the second British-artist No. 1 hit of the 1960s, and the next would come a year later with a four-man up-and-coming band named The Beatles.
* "More" by Kai Winding.
If the show goes to OEs for optionals, those three would be the ones I'll predict.

Why is it that sometimes AT40 segments include just ONE song, before they go to commercials? Strange.

I heard the same show from 1985 that pointpark heard. Debuting at 39 is "Cry" by Godley & Creme who as Casey said, left 10cc in 1976. They left early in the recording session for the album that included 10cc's last top 40 hit, "The Things We Do For Love" and before that song was recorded. So that means their last time in the top 40 prior to the 1985 show was on this week's show with "I'm Not in Love" in its last week on AT40. It is a case of 2 musicians coming back to the top 40 basically 10 years after their last appearance. reachinforthestars posted about this topic in Chart Critiques thread. |

If 1977 is the 'A' show, I would expect it to be 10/22/77. Not that Premiere doesn't repeat shows aired in the previous two years, but it's pretty rare. I wonder if this will be the last 1977 show of the year, or if we'll finally get show from 11/19/77 or later. Premiere has only aired shows from that stretch three times before, the last of which was six years ago: 2007: 11/19/77 2008: 12/10/77 2009: 12/10/77 (again) Not sure why, but this is another one of those stretches that for some reason has been ignored. |

A couple of things I took away from the 10-6-79 show. One- It was cool to hear 3 of the 5 songs from the members of the Traveling Wilburys- Bob Dylan's Gotta Serve Sombody," Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman," (EXTRA),) and ELO (Jeff Lynne) "Don't Bring Me Down." Of course George Harrison charted earlier in 1979 with "Blow Away," and late in 1979 Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers had a song called "Don't Do Me Like That."Two- Did anyone notice that there were fewer disco songs on the chart in comparison the last 79 A show (7-21-79) and more rock and new wave orientated songs. I guess at that point the 80's were well on their way!

I guess at that point the 80's were well on their way!Oh Yes, the last few months of 79 were markedly different! The backlash to excessive disco was underway which lead to the "Disco Destruction Partys" and way fewer disco songs making the top 40 in late 1979 onward. Personally I was quite pleased about it. My older brother was a big Donna Summer, Village People, Saturday Night Fever kind of music fan and I was getting annoyed with it. Not that I hated that music but it was getting over done and over played and people were getting tired of it. |

Meanwhile, while people guess at the 1979 extras, here are the recycled 1972 ones: Hour #1: "I Am Woman" - Helen Reddy Hour #2: "If You Don't Know Me By Now" - Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes Hour #3: "Summer Breeze" - Seals & Crofts Incidentally, the same three optional extras have been used twice for that same show before: in 2010 (when it was aired without an alternate) and 2012 (also as a B.) The last two times the songs were introduced by Larry Morgan, but this time Premiere changed them to be introduced by Casey. |
