By the way, that was the last time Casey referred to Elvis having 17 #1 hits. Going forward because AT40 changed the pre-Hot 100 chart they used for reference, he was only given credit for 14 #1 hits. I wonder if we'll get to hear that listener question about most weeks at #1 in this week's airing on Premiere?

You are implying that they deleted that question which is absurd! Must be a new way of editing. Edit out stuff like that instead of songs. Lots of songs whose editing in this first hour that I would not complain about!

I wonder if it stays in the WTOJ supersized version? Sirius XM used to do this (sometimes leaving in Casey's teases, which was especially infuriating). Everything he said should be left in, even if some of the answers and facts have long been outdated.

And we get a tribute extra to Eric Carmen ("Never Gonna Fall In Love Again"). Larry mentions that the melody of "All By Myself", which ranks #2 on this chart, was adapted from a Rachmaninoff piano concerto.

Kudos to Premiere for playing "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again" as the first hour OE this week.

Agree 100%, but when this show aired on SXM on 3/19/22 NOTHING was edited out of the show. All SXM did was insert their "Sirius-XM 70s on 7" jingle into each commercial break.

Larry mentions that the melody of "All By Myself", which ranks #2 on this chart, was adapted from a Rachmaninoff piano concerto. Larry should have also mentioned that "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" melody also is based on a Rachmaninoff composition, from the third movement of Symphony #2.

You guys are good - you called it with the Eric Carmen OE.
It was weird hearing him say "the late Eric Carmen"...
RIP Eric.

John Denver wound up placing three more hits in the top forty:"Like A Sad Song" (1976),"Some Days Are Diamonds" (1981) & "Shanghai Breezes" (1982).

Is the question about solo artists with most weeks at #1 by gender that was said to be cut from the first hour the one whose answers were Elvis Presley and Patti Page? Because it was heard and answered in Hour 2.

Four more: You left out "My Sweet Lady" in the spring of '77. Like his other three post-"Looking For Space" top 40 singles, it would peak in the 30s. At #32.

Because it was heard and answered in Hour 2. Yes, that was the question I inquired about. In the original show it comes after #38, but it was moved this time.

And to give you the entire picture of what I alluded to earlier, AT40 went from using the Best Sellers chart to the Top 100 chart and in the process, Elvis went from 17 to 14 #1 hits.

"My Sweet Lady" had been a bigger hit (#17) in 1974 for Cliff DeYoung, who sang it in the made-for-TV movie "Sunshine" which at the time was the most watched such film ever. Casey was among "Sunshine"'s many fans, praising it when introing the song on AT40.
