I'll go with 3/1/1975 for next weekend's (3/2-3/3/24) countdown show, it was last aired by Premiere 11 years ago in 2013!

Geeky chart observation… Starting with the Hot 100 dated February 26, 1972, Billboard began publishing the survey with a grid-type framework.

This week's show is the first time in AT40 history that an artist has 3 songs in the countdown. The other artists to do that in the first run of AT40 are Marvin Gaye in 1973, Paul McCartney in 1976, Diana Ross in 1980, New Kids in 1989, Whitney Houston in 1993 and Mariah Carey in 1994. And an honorable mention to Madonna who fell a notch short of doing it in 1985. So even though Melanie did something that Carole King did not do in 1971, Casey's comment that the former would be in 1972 would the latter was in 1971, did not quite happen. In fact, Carole one could argue had a better year from this point forward in 1972 than Melanie did. Carole had a #9 hit which is better than a #35 hit and a #31 hit IMO.

The year of the amazing Bee Gees, 1978. Their sensational run of having three songs in the 40 was six straight weeks, from 2/11 to 3/18.
Amazingly, another little tidbit, album-related: "If I Can't Have You" debuted on the Hot 100 on 1/28, and "Night Fever" showed up a week later, on 2/4. The latter shot right up to #1 six weeks later, and stayed there for eight weeks. Which song knocked it out?
As Casey would say, "You got it." 🙂

So I guess the first AT40: The 70's 1975 show for 2024 could be March 1, 1975 on the weekend of March 2-3, 2024. 1975 is due. 1975 has not been featured this year & March 1, 1975 last aired 11 years ago. March 5, 1977 is a possibility for the B show next weekend. Given that, I'll go with March 4, 1978 for next weekend. March 4, 1978 last aired as an A show in 2014. Spending a snowy weekend working on upcoming Supersized countdowns. It's a 1978 show so its full version is really long. 4 hour shows were WAY overdue at that time. Music to my ears.... my unofficial record indicates everything thru 2/18 has already been aired Supersized and I think 2/25 was featured in 2023 as a "B" so I'll go with 3/4/78

And they changed the Hot 100 logo to a more contemporary-looking (at the time) font. Why it was ever sideways, I don't know. I didn't like that design as much (which began on 7/25/1970). Plus some columns were omitted, leaving only Current Week, and Last Week. The 1972 design was a step in the right direction. I looked ahead, and saw the Weeks On Chart column reappeared on 3/31/1973. Then the 2 Weeks Ago column reappeared on 10/20/1984, over 14 years after it disappeared. (That design of the Hot 100 is one of my favorites.)

The all-time best design to me is the one that ran from 8/17/1963 through 7/18/1970. The former issue was the first with the combined mono and stereo album chart.

The year of the amazing Bee Gees, 1978. Their sensational run of having three songs in the 40 was six straight weeks, from 2/11 to 3/18. Actually, their triple play streak was eight weeks long: Date | "How Deep..." | "Stayin' Alive" | "Night Fever" | Feb 11 | 10 | 1 | 32 | Feb 18 | 10 | 1 | 17 | Feb 25 | 10 | 1 | 8 | Mar 4 | 10 | 2 | 5 | Mar 11 | 15 | 6 | 2 | Mar 18 | 35 | 2 | 1 | Mar 25 | 33 | 2 | 1 | April 1 | 32 | 2 | 1 |
In Cash Box, it was "only" four weeks: Date | "How Deep..." | "Stayin' Alive" | "Night Fever" | Feb 18 | 13 | 1 | 25 | Feb 25 | 26 | 1 | 13 | Mar 4 | 34 | 3 | 6 | Mar 11 | 37 | 3 | 4 |
In Record World, a similar situation: Date | "How Deep..." | "Stayin' Alive" | "Night Fever" | Feb 11 | 17 | 1 | 35 | Feb 18 | 27 | 1 | 28 | Feb 25 | 35 | 1 | 17 | Mar 4 | 39 | 2 | 7 |

How I overlooked that, I will never know. They are the only 1 of the triple play artists to have 3 in the top 10 and also to have each one of the three hit #1. By the way, one of the other triple play artists came close to getting all three to #1. Mariah had 2 out of 3 do so but in an ironic situation, the hit that stalled at #2 was her remake of the hit that was #1 the week that Melanie did it..."Without You".
