"Poor Poor Pitiful Me" by Linda Ronstadt is one of the featured songs from 3/4/78-It was written by Warren Zevon who reached the countdown a few months later with his lone hit "Werewolves Of London".

I don't know if Ken keeps official stats, but LVKs unofficial ones show that as the 2nd longest first hour ever after 9/9/78 Superized in 2022.

"Flashlight" being one of the songs that lengthened that first hour. Heard that song in How Stella Got Her Groove Back last night, a 1998 film starring Angela Bassett and Whoopi Goldberg.

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.aacIf 80s shows were supersized, then several songs in this week’s 1980 show could have used that treatment. Notably, the first hours of this week’s three hour 1978 and four hour 1980 shows each included 13 songs.

6AM to be exact. Yeah with the clock change, it is pitch black at that hour now in every time zone! Sunrise this morning in Tucson was 0639. So dawn was breaking at 0600. Proudly staying on Mountain STANDARD Time the entire year. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

I'd prefer March 10, 1979 (last played in 2018) over March 17, 1979 which I heard when they played in 2021. KQEL is going with March 10, 1979 on Sunday night.

This week’s A looks to be March 10, 1979, with B’s for both decades yet to be revealed.
Between 1979 and 1981 we do get the near-peaks of both the disco era and its backlash on the pop charts.

And we could probably get that or 3/27/1976 that weekend (it could go either way) in light of Eric Carmen's passing, but we'll have to wait and see.

Those countdowns of course have “All By Myself” high in them; maybe “Never Gonna Fall In Love Again” could be an optional extra with a tribute to him. Eric also had top 40 hits in 1977-78, plus there were the Raspberries’ songs from 1972-74 (incidentally, Casey several times told the story of the scratch and sniff raspberry sticker whose scent was so strong it caused a woman to pass out in the record store.) For the 80s, we’re nearly due for 1987 (“Hungry Eyes”) and 1988 (“Make Me Lose Control”)

This week from Premiere’s AT40/The 70s…
Of all of Elvis Presley’s singles presented during the AT40 years, only one spent just one week on Billboard’s Top 40 survey, “Until It’s Time For You To Go.” And its lone chart week – March 11, 1972 – is this week’s B show.

"Until It's Time For You To Go" was written and first recorded in 1965 by Buffy Sainte-Marie, who a couple of months later in spring 1972 reached AT40 for the only time as an artist with "Mister Can't You See"--which ironically she didn't write. Her biggest hit as a co-writer was the 1982 #1 "Up Where We Belong".

Confirmed optional extras: 1972: Hour #1: "Ruby Tuesday" - The Rolling Stones (original AT40 extra) Hour #2: "Hey! Baby" - Bruce Channel Hour #3: "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone" - The Supremes I would not be surprised if "Go All The Way" The Raspberries ends up as a last minute optional extra replacement this weekend.
