Just heard the last #1 hit in a 9 month stretch from August 1977 to May 1978. With the exception of a week when "I Just Want to be Your Everything" returned to the top, every #1 hit in that time frame can be heard on this week's A shows.

2 weeks in a row, the A show features a song at #1 whose single is only about 10 seconds shorter than the album version. It was "Best of My Love" last week. This week it's "Love is Thicker Than Water". The 10 seconds that make the album version longer are a bridge between the last 'devil's daughter' and the beginning of the 'da da da da da' etc. But did RSO pull a fast one to achieve this chart first of an artist knocking a relative out of the #1 position. Many people think it should have been something else happening that was almost as rare in chart history...an artist knocking itself out of the #1 spot, though it would have happened the next week as "Stayin Alive" would have held on for a 5th week.

I'll go with 3/17/79 over 3/20/76 & 3/19/77 for next weekend. 3/17/79 was last featured as an A show in 2013. 3/20/76 last aired in 2017. The 1977 show aired in 2018. I'll go with 3/16/74 for the B show.

I know this is irrelevant, but it did happen on the R&R chart, as "Night Fever" knocked "Stayin' Alive" out of the top. As a result, the Bee Gees were #1 for twelve consecutive weeks.

Wikipedia is not necessarily the authority on this but looking up the individual songs there in which the genre is listed reveals 18 disco songs. It's easier to list the chart positions of the 18...1,2,3,8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,23,24,27,28,30,37 and 40. LC came up with 19. I would guess that "Superman" is the 19th. Casey was probably going by how many had hit the disco chart. And just think - less than three months later...

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. It's the middle of the night here in desert SW but this Supersized 78 just starting!!!! cb.streamguys1.com:80/wtoj.aac
