Any gueses as to who might be airing the 1977 show? Looks like it hasn't been an A show since 2009.

Will 6/14/75 be supersized? I like the supersized 10 minute version of "Swearin' to God". The highest of 5 debuts in the most impressive week of debuts in 1975. This is the only week that year when every debut record is a top 10 hit. In fact they all reached at least #6. As a matter of fact, "Swearin' To God", "Midnight Blue" and "Why Can't We Be Friends" all moved 7 to 6 and dropped the following week.

I still would've like to hear the following week, 6/21,which had a lot of big movers: 10cc, McCartney, Van McCoy, and Michael Murphey's "Wildfire", which made a rare 12-3 jump into the top 10. Usually that's a good indicator of a future #1, but that horse would stall out right there at #3.

A 12-3 move for "Wildfire" a week after a 12-2 move for "Love Will Keep Us Together". But while the latter spent 4 weeks at #1, the former stalled right there. Ah the unpredictability of the charts!
The 1977 show marks the end of a feature that started nearly a year earlier. That is Casey including the chart date in the outro of the #1 song. This started on the 8/14/76 show. Since it is hard to hear what is going on with the theme music underneath Larry Morgan's talking, it may hard to decipher what is going on there. The reason Casey did it that way was it allowed him just enough time to do the show closing before the Shuckatoom theme kicked in. I liken it to most instrumentals where he talks over the beginning but stops at the point it kicks into the main part of the song. Starting on the 6/25/77 show, he goes back to mentioning the show date as part of the closing, letting the Shuckatoom theme kick in before he finishes. And what does this show have in common with the 7/31/71, 3/18/72, 9/14/74, 10/26/74, 2/15/75, 5/24/75, 10/16/76, 7/19/86 and 8/1/87 shows? These would be the 10 shows which feature a legendary artist/personality at #1 for the only week in their careers(Spinners not Dionne Warwick on 10/26/74). This is for the classic era of AT40.

One of those 10 doesn't belong in that group, IMHO.

I know which one you are referring to, the only 'personality' of the 10. Let's open this up and see what everyone's opinion is of what those 10 shows should be.

Regarding the second hour optional extra from this week's presentation from 6/14/75:Premiere should've played "Ballad Of The Green Berets" in its entirety.

In case anyone's wondering "Whatever happened to SSgt. Sadler" segment, was located between the last two segments of Hour #2 in the original 6/14/75 at the end of #17 (Teaser) and just before #15.
