No word on this coming weekend's AT40: The 70's show yet? Let's hope it's 10/16/1976 to celebrate Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40 40th. anniversary as Rick's "Disco Duck" is #1 on the Casey AT40 chart that week! Yes, your wish is granted. Also, Supersized on WTOJ Sunday morning at 9 Eastern Thanx, Ken! Now let's hope for the October 21-22, 2023 weekend the A show is 10/20/1973 at the month of the 50th. anniversary of the tragic plane crash of Jim Croce (with Casey's tribute to Jim in the show leading into Jim's "I Got A Name").

Also, Supersized on WTOJ Sunday morning at 9 Eastern A supersized October 1976 show likely means over seven minutes of "Do You Feel Like We Do", as that's the length of the official single version (on "Frampton Comes Alive!" it goes on for over 14 minutes.) And the complete six minute story of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I've always wondered what is done with supersizing "More Than a Feeling", which debuted on this countdown. Generally the official single versions are used, but the original single of MTAF which AT40 played lasts 3:25. But the 4:45 album version is the one that gets the recurrent play, so the single even if played in full is going to sound edited down to most listeners today.

Listening to 10/13/79 on WSQL, and I'm curious, since Premiere features no commercials during the first (optional) hour, why someone (Ken Martin?) would feel compelled to remove split logos and/or move Casey's teasers? There are no commercial block time constraints. Why mess with the flow? Sadly, even this show has the 'Bowlderized' edit of "Bad Blood" in it. SO stupid and unnecessary, and NOT done in the original show! Thanks for the head ups. I decided to check my recording from 2016 and i can confirm those edits weren't present on that presentation. Listened to the 10/13/79 show on WSQL the other night & heard an abridged version of "Gotta Serve Somebody" by Bob Dylan-Hopefully,Ken Martin will air the full-length version. That edit did appear in 2016, but i guess it was from the original program.

History was made on this week's countdown from 10/16/76-Stevie Wonder debuted at # 1 on the Billboard album chart with "Songs In The Key Of Life"-A year earlier,Elton John achieved that rare feat twice with "Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy" & "Rock Of The Westies".

Optional extras this week:
October 16, 1976:
Hour #1: "Nights Are Forever Without You" - England Dan & John Ford Coley (#58) Hour #2: "(The Man Who Shot) Liberty Valance" - Gene Pitney (NR) Hour #3: "Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)" - Rod Stewart (#42)
The Gene Pitney song doesn't appear in the original countdown; presumably some story or "whatever happened to?" segment about him does, possibly with a bit of the song, and Premiere added the full song in.

Isn't another song in this show in that same category, "Magic Man"? AT40 always played the single version but the one that should be getting the recurrent play is the album version.

Were there any other artists that debuted at #1 on the Album Chart after Stevie Wonder, but before Whitney Houston did it with her second album in 1987?

Bruce Springsteen with his Live 1975-1985 box set in 1986.

Interesting--all four have been solo artists. Up to the current time, any groups debut at #1?

UMD doesn't list Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), which was the first OE on 10/13/79, as being on the chart that week. In fact, if you enter ABBA into the search function it isn't listed as having ever hit the Hot 100 at all. Is that an oversight on the part of the webmaster or was it an album cut that AT40 decided to use as an OE?

I'll go with 10/19/74 for next weekend. The last time 10/19/74 was the A show was 2008. For the B show, I'll go with 10/22/77.
