I doubt that we'll hear a countdown next weekend because of the Christmas holiday-However,I could be wrong. There should be a regular show available to air next weekend for both decades. Just because it's Christmas weekend doesn't mean that the stations that play little to next to no holiday music before now will play all holiday music on the weekend. Many stations stay with regular programming. The stations that play the shows on Thursday,Friday and Saturday won't be as affected as Sunday,but that's just a guess. I predict that KOKZ will play the regular show on Sunday morning for example. Those stations that play the show at noon local time or after might be a different story,again just a guess.

Oops: WQOK just switched to last week's 1975 show (#11, "Fox on the Run") after playing 1970's #12 ("Stoned Love")

Was it me, or am I noticing, that Premiere edited out flip side version of My Sweet Lord which is Isn't It Pity?

WPNC somehow just after third opt xtra, they went to last top 3 fourth hour #3-#1, instead of playing 1970 #5-#1.
I haven't listened all 1970 because I was little busy. Now listening WVWP, WCRK for 1970 show 4 canadian acts, 7 UK hits, including 12 foreign acts mono to stereo

Was it me, or am I noticing, that Premiere edited out flip side version of My Sweet Lord which is Isn't It Pity? Per Pete Battistini's book, "Isn't It a Pity" wasn't played on this 12/12/70 show. It had been played the previous week, instead of "My Sweet Lord", and both sides were played two weeks later on the 12/26/70 show that aired the prior weekend. That was the show in which "Share the Land" was skipped supposedly to make time for "Pity", which (if memory serves) is about seven minutes long. But yet that show still made room for two 'extra' songs. Error on Watermark's part, IMO. "Pity" was played once more during its chart run, on the 2/6/71 show. Highly recommend Pete's book for details like these.

WVLI Kankakee is now airing this afternoon the 12/12/1970 AT40: The 70's show with mono2stereo conversion by Ken Martin! The #40 song is Barbra Striesand's "Stoney End", of course. I wonder if Barbra's "Stoney End" might have inspired a jingle for the shopping mall fashion store chain Casual Corner in the early 1970's as you can hear in this 1971 Casual Corner TV commercial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J41oJ4ykoxY

There's a boatload of forgotten favorites on the countdown from 12/12/70:"River Deep Mountain High","Only Love Can Break A Heart","It's Impossible",& "Pay To The Piper".

All ten years have played in the last nine weeks, but the longest without play are 1974 (longest) and 1979 (next longest). Likely we should get one of those this weekend.

I guess 1979 for this weekend, and then next weekend (New Year's weekend) and the following weekend (First weekend of 2024) for the year end countdowns the Top 100 of 1978 (A show option) and the Top 80 of 1971 (B show option). 1974 can wait until early 2024.

Coincidentally, the last regular 1974 show (12/14) aired last year & the first show of 1974 (1/5) aired this year.
