In the original 10/16/1976 AT40 show, where was the "Whatever Happened to Gene Pitney?" segment in hour #2 originally placed? I guess Gene Pitney's 1976-1977 comeback was a flop, thanks to extra lines from Larry Morgan (with mention by Larry that Gene Pitney passed away in 2006). The whatever happened to Gene Pitney segment occurred between #24--More Than A Feeling by Boston & #23--You Are The Woman by Firefall, in the original show. A short piece of the song, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, was played.

Let's hope for no mix ups (like a portion of current Ryan Seacrest AT40 by mistake) this time!

Rod Stewart had #1's in 70s decade, and 90s decade, but not 80s though. What song of Rod's hit #1 in the '90s? Drawing a blank. All I can think of is "Downtown Train", which peaked at #3 in 1990. His highest '80s peak was "My Heart Can't Tell You No", #4 in '89. Rod hit #1 in Radio & Records on 2/3/1990 with "Downtown Train" (1/26 issue). To my knowledge that's his only #1 on the pop chart in the 1990s.

His #1 hit of the 90's on Billboard was with Bryan Adams and Sting with the song All For Love in 1994 which was #1 for 3 weeks.

Flash Cadillac & The Continental Kids performed in the 1973 movie "American Graffiti"-The sock hop scene in that movie was choreographed by Toni Basil whose lone top forty hit "Mickey" can be heard on the countdown from 10/16/82.

The aforementioned "All for Love" (albeit with Sting and Bryan Adams) also hit #1 on the R&R CHR/Pop chart.

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. I guess not all songs are worthy of being supersized. "You are My Starship" went from 2:10 in latest 2023 Premiere show to 3:15 on WTOJ, not close to full length 45 rpm of 4:23

His #1 hit of the 90's on Billboard was with Bryan Adams and Sting with the song All For Love in 1994 which was #1 for 3 weeks. It depends on which chart is used. Generally Billboard is the consensus, which you'd be correct, Rod had no solo #1's. But if R&R is used, then he'd have one. I had left out "All For Love" because I interpreted the OP as solo #1's. But it was open to interpretation, which mine aren't always correct.

We have one hint about this weekend's AT40: The 70's show - 10/26/1974 rather than 10/19/1974 (not sure if it is the A show with a B show TBD or a B show to a 4 hour 1978 A show).

I guess the B show could be 10/22/1977 or 10/21/1978.

We dodge a bullet--the previous week's show had "Earache My Eye".
