In addition, for those with access to Sirius XM, they too give us a four hour 1979 show this week, albeit from the previous week (October 6, 1979).

Kinda glad that they did, as it was a quarter after six by the time I remembered. Otherwise, I would have missed the yet-to-be-played first hour of the 1979 show. I wonder what stations are going to play that full 1979 show? Hopefully, WPAC will, so we can listen to that one at our leisure. Do you mean this week's 10/13/1979 show? When it aired in 2016 it was 4 hours. I just checked my recording of it. I stand corrected. I guess I was just thinking of the 10/20/1979 show, which someone predicted to be the next show from that year earlier. Anyway, your reply was helpful in another way - seeing that the last airing of the show was in 2016, I can just post a recycled commentary for it

Listening to it now and the recording captured almost all of the last pre-countdown song ("Simply Irresistible") so considering their normal large commercial load don't expect to hear the #1 song, and #2 might even be iffy.

I 'jumped ahead'--the entire show is on there, through the including the end credits.

Good examples. Here's one more. “Superstar” by Murray Head & the Trinidad Singers initially spent 7 weeks on the Hot 100 in Jan/Feb 1970. The song returned to the chart in January 1971 and spent 12 weeks, climbing as high as #60. It then fell off for a couple of weeks and returned to the Hot 100 – for an eventual climb into the Top 40 – on April 10, 1971. In all, “Superstar” spent a total of 31 weeks on the Hot 100, 23 weeks *below* the Top 40 and 8 weeks on AT40. Yes, "Superstar" is another prime example. Did not know about it's first 7-week run in early '70. Well before the "Jesus Christ Superstar" album came out later that year. The single was originally the "demo" that Webber & Rice used to sell the concept to Decca Records. A "here's what a rock opera about Jesus might sound like" sort of thing.

Listened to 1972 on WVLI in Kankakee, IL and they used Frank Zappa's "Peaches En Regalia" as bumper music. That's great.

Debby's 10-week run at #1 begins... Man — an I may have asked before, but ... — I still don’t get why so many people so dislike “ You Light Up My Life” by Debby Boone. Seriously. (Matt: Posting here to get the conversation started.) Brian

(Matt: Posting here to get the conversation started.) Brian I actually do not mind the song, but it was truly not worthy of a ten-week #1 stay, and it kept several other songs that should have made #1 out of the top spot. I would argue the same for "Physical" three years later.

Here's an unusual chart/program observation...
From the single's original release, it took exactly 5 years and two versions until it eventually reached the AT40 countdown. Debuting at #99 on the Hot 100 for October 7, 1972 (this past weekend's "A" chart date) was the studio version of "I Just Want To Make Love To You" by Foghat. And debuting at #37 on this weekend's October 15, 1977 program is the live version of the same song. No doubt, the live version's chart success was based on the studio version's recurring airplay on AOR-formatted (and a few Top 40) stations. And comparing appearances, note that in 1972 the song reached #83 while in 1977 it peaked at #33.
