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. Or I can hope for 10/20/1973 (Where Casey pays tribute to Jim Croce) as the A with 10/22/1977 as the B show.

I think 10/26/1974 seems more likely for a 1974 A show because 10/19/1974 ran as a B show in 2019 and 10/26 ran in 2017. It could work for next weekend or possibly the weekend after that.

But for some reason it is no longer working on what used to be iTunes, now just called 'Music' on my computer.

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". Although it would be a month and a 1/2 until the first single from "Songs In The Key of Life" by Stevie Wonder - "I Wish" - would be on the AT40 chart. Too bad the never released as a single from "Songs In The Key of Life" called "Isn't She Lovely" didn't make a dent on the R&R chart.

Two things in Casey's intro at the beginning of the October 16, 1976 show:
I put this in the "Casey Kasem jinx" thread, but Casey said there was a debut from "the most successful band from Scotland". Assuming he meant the Average White Band, their debuting "Queen of My Soul" spent its only week on the countdown at #40, and AWB would never have another top 40 hit again.
Also, he said that there was a new #1, "a very funny disco record". Regardless of how funny you think "Disco Duck" is, that seems like a little too much of a giveaway of the #1 song to start the show.

That remark reminds me of what Casey said in the 7/10/76 show. He said 'We are counting down to a delightful new #1 song'. It was an obvious reference IMO to "Afternoon Delight".

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 Guess I'll be listening now. 10/16/76 is on the iheart channel. Not sure what songs are butchered on that. I have the last (and only) regular broadcast of this show back in 2016 and #34 "You are My Starship" was cut down about a minute from it's 4.23 length.(and it was MONO) This latest airing is stereo, BUT the song is given ANOTHER HAIRCUT down to 2:10 , PLUS Casey talks into the intro about previous song by Ringo Starr and THEN introduces some new stations to AT40 while the song is starting. Pretty sad state of affairs for one of the songs that is one of my faves from this month.

Assuming he meant the Average White Band, their debuting "Queen of My Soul" spent its only week on the countdown at #40, and AWB would never have another top 40 hit again. What's funny/odd about that is that in hour 3 he states that BOTH of the 'most successful bands from Scotland' are on the chart, on the intro to "I Only Want To Be With You" by The Bay City Rollers. He further says that both groups have scored a #1, plus another top 10 single. He does 'jinx' the Rollers by saying that their current single was 'headed for the top 10'--it would peak at 12. Although they would get their 3rd top 10 single a year later ("You Made Me Believe In Magic") and would chart twice more, while "Queen Of My Soul" would br AWB's last time (barely) in the 40. So the final top 40 singles tally would be Rollers 6, AWB 5.

Strange--as several radio stations played the song, Isn't She Lovely, (although maybe they didn't report it). Broadcasting Magazine had an airplay driven chart from Jan 1973-Kan 1980, and they produced their chart from stations radio playlists and the song made it into the mid #20's on their chart in early 1977.
