WSQL & WTOJ will certainly feature 6/30/73-WPAC will likely play 6/24/78.

And the following week George was replaced with Billy Preston, the only artist to share label credit with the Beatles on one of their #1 hits ("Get Back".) He was there for two weeks with "Will It Go Round In Circles", the first of which was taken up with AT40's Disappearing Acts special. |

Five years before Dolly Parton hit #1 with "9 To 5" you definitely wanted to be a 9 and not a 5 on 6/14/75. All four songs in chart positions that ended in a 9 went to #1, as #9 and #19 were former #1's and #29 and #39 were future #1's. Conversely all four songs in chart positions that ended with a 5 were peaking.

Let's hope KOKZ (and a few others) play it this time around. Last year, KOKZ and WTOJ opted for 1974 (I think there had been a few 1977 shows bunched together there) and there really weren't any other good options. But yes, very odd they would offer it as a 'B' show two years in a row when it hasn't been an 'A' since 2009. KOKZ opts for the B show 90% of the time when the A show is from 1973 or earlier. KOKZ opts for the B show 10% of the time when the A show is after 1973. KOKZ goes with the top 40 songs from June 14th, 1975. KOZI,WIHG,WPAC & WXXM are likely to air June 18, 1977 this weekend. WQMV,WRTH & WVWP usually airs both shows. Thanks for the heads up -- I think you were right on all stations that aired the '77 show. I've never listened over dth1971's favorite station "WXXM Rewind 92.1 Madison, Wisconsin" until this weekend, but they have a solid stream with high quality audio and it was fairly easy to edit out the commercial breaks. The only negative is that they only play the 3rd hour OE, so I had to get the first two from one of the others (WVWP I think). Pretty good option for future 3-hour 'B' shows though. I listened to WVWP fm for Jun 18 1977 opt xtras only. And last opt xtra finally played The Emotions - Best of My Love, and mentions The Emotions would be second longest #1 of 1977, behind Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life. I hope im right on it.... You were correct -- WXXM played the Emotions extra for the 3rd hour OE, and Larry's intro was exactly as you posted. |

6/30/1973 - The week when a former Beatle (George Harrison) replaced another former Beatle (Paul McCartney then with his group Wings) out of the #1 spot. And the following week George was replaced with Billy Preston, the only artist to share label credit with the Beatles on one of their #1 hits ("Get Back".) He was there for two weeks with "Will It Go Round In Circles", the first of which was taken up with AT40's Disappearing Acts special. One thing this week's 70s shows have in common -- each survey features one single that was presented just one time as a current hit. 6/30/73: Time To Get Down - The O'Jays 6/24/78: Dance Across The Floor - Jimmy "Bo" Horne And while the O'Jays song lasted a 2nd week on the Top 40 chart, it was also preempted by the previously mentioned special. |

"Dance Across The Floor" was written & produced by Harry Wayne Casey-You know him better as KC who leads the Sunshine Band.

Regarding 1978, sad to think some of the superstars of this show are no longer with us--Andy Gibb, Walter Becker (1/2 Steely Dan), Donna Summer, Meat Loaf and Robert Palmer. This was also several months before the launch of the 4 hour show, and it was sure needed with longer songs out at this time.

I'm happy that Ken Martin of WTOJ supersizes those 70's shows-They deserve to be heard intact.

Unless WTOJ decides to go with the B show, we may have to wait to hear 6/24/78 supersized.

It was replaced by "Ramblin' Man" in 2017 because of Gregg Allman's death. "Hummingbird" replaces "The Morning After" this time because of the recent death of Jim Seals. The optional extras of 6/24/78 remain the same. |

Yes, in fact it was the last week in which "You're the Love" would be introduced by Casey on AT40 (and therefore the last week in which Seals & Crofts would be introduced by Casey). The following week was the Top 40 Artists of the 70's special and the 7/8/78 show -- the last week in the top 40 for "You're the Love" -- was hosted by Mark Elliott. |

S&C are also in the 1973 countdown with "Diamond Girl". But they had two other hits in 1973 allowing for an optional extra segment saluting Jim Seals that still keeps it within that year, while they had no other top 40 hits in 1978 (or any year thereafter.)
