1977 was a Standalone on 9-30-23 and a "B" show on 10-21-23. 1973 hasn't played as an "A" or "B" since 9-2-23. If not this weekend, hopefully soon?

Anybody else notice how some of the rejoiners/jingles in the 1979 1978 show this past weekend sounded awful?
Comparing this year's airing with the one in 2016, apparently Premiere decided to swap out some of the jingles (which sounded fine) for different ones (which sounded like they came through two cans connected by a string).

The first two were the only extras in the original show. As an optional extra, "Mr. Bojangles" replaces Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are"; coincidentally or not, this is the second week in a row where Premiere replaces a Billy Joel 70s optional extra with a song heard in the original countdown.

There were plenty of 45s moving at the cash register in late 1977. According to the Hot 100 dated 11/12/77, six Top 40 singles were RIAA-certified million sellers:
*You Light Up My Life – Debby Boone *Boogie Nights – Heatwave *It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down – Barry White *That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll – Shaun Cassidy *Star Wars Title Theme – Meco *The King Is Gone – Ronnie McDowell
And at least three more between #41-100:
*Telephone Line – Electric Light Orchestra *Way Down – Elvis Presley *I Just Want To Be Your Everything – Andy Gibb

The weekend of 3/10/79, there were 9 certified singles in the top 13:
#1 "I Will Survive," Gold #2 "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?," Gold #3 "Tragedy," Gold #4 "Fire," Gold #6 "A Little More Love," Gold #7 "Shake Your Groove Thing," Gold #9 "Y.M.C.A.," Platinum #11 "Le Freak," Platinum #13 "Got to Be Real," Gold
This was also the top 40 chart that featured 7 songs that slipped one notch.
The following weekend's show was the first one I ever listened to.

Still hoping that the weekend of 11-17/18 will be 1973, longest show without play. Just looking at the Cue Sheets for this coming weekend's show--is this when we get the ultra short version of "It's Ecstasy" by Barry White? Cue sheet indicates 8:27 for "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue," "Ecstasy" and "Nobody Does It Better."

One other segment that seriously edits two songs is the opening of hour #2-- #27--Keep It Comin' Love--K.C. & the Sunshine Band #26--Come Sail Away-Styx Total time for the segment is listed at 5:54. The K.C. song is close to 4 minutes and the 45 edit of Styx is close to 3 minutes--which should be close to 7 minutes (obviously one song is probably edited and the other faded out extremely early). The other thing that surprises me is that during hour #1 there is time to play an extra--Mr. Bojangles by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (between #29 & #28). Of course, Premiere turned that song into an optional extra.

Their regular programming now seems to be mostly or all Christmas-related.

>The K.C. song is close to 4 minutes<
It sounds like AT40 was defying K.C. and stopped it now.

2 years ago, Sirius XM aired shows from 1972,1974,1977,1978 & 1979 over the previous 5 weeks. The last 5 weeks, Premiere has aired shows from 1972,1974,1977,1978 & 1979. Identical except for the 1972 shows being a week apart.
Next week 2 years ago, SXM aired 11/15/75. 7 of the last 8 primary ("A") shows previously aired as the "A" show in 2016 or 2017. 11/15/75 last aired in 2017.
Given that, I'll go with 11/17/73 over 11/22/75 for next weekend. 11/17/73 last aired in 2008. 11/22/75 last aired in 2010.
