I very rarely guess correctly, but here are the shows I'd like to see played during the next three weeks: 9/13/75 (A); 9/16/78 (B) 9/18/76 9/30/72 (A); 9/24/77 (B) 9/30/1972 is an AT40 special countdown, why not 9/23/1972 or 10/7/1972? Oops, you're right. Since we're way overdue for a 1972 show, I still think we get one in September. So a slight change to:
9/13/75 (A); 9/16/78 (B) 9/18/76 9/23/72 (A); 9/24/77 (B)

On Facebook, I see that 9/16/1978 was indeed announced as the B show.

"Who Loves You" is one of the optional extras on this week's A show presentation from 9/13/75-I'm thinking that writers Bob Gaudio & Judy Parker were fans of the TV series "Kojak"-Telly Savalas' character Lt.Theo Kojak had a well-known catchphrase "Who loves you,baby"?

In this weeks show Casey mentioned "Alice Bowie" before and after Earache My Eye.I felt like he was mentioning it because he knew that Alice Bowie didn't exist. Casey just having a little fun maybe? I think he mentioned Alice Bowie because the 45 which I still have 50 years later lists it that way. AT40 probably took all that at face value not feeling they needed to look into it. I bought the 45 in 1974 when I was 11.Still have it!

The success of the movie "Jaws" is evident in the 9-13-75 countdown. The title song by John Williams is present, as well as the comedy song by Dickie Goodman which features snippets of recent songs as Dickie asks Mr. Jaws questions about his victims.

For the 9-16-78 show, we will hear three remakes of Beatles songs by Aerosmith, Earth Wind and Fire, and Robin Gibb.

All of those aformentioned Beatles classics were on the soundtrack of "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band" which was a huge flop at the box office.

On Facebook, I see that 9/16/1978 was indeed announced as the B show. This means either the last 3 hour show will be the next A show from 1978 or the last 3 months of 3 hour shows will be skipped over this year for A shows.

This means either the last 3 hour show will be the next A show from 1978 or the last 3 months of 3 hour shows will be skipped over this year for A shows. 9/30/1978 was last an A in 2019, and last played (as a B) in 2022. Neither of which necessarily disqualifies it from coming up this year, but not necessarily an indicator that it WILL be played, either. We've only got about 6 or 7 weeks left before A/B designations go away for the holiday season and we get any year from 1970-1979 as that weeks sole 70's offering. Either by the first or second weekend in November we're staring at Christmas shows until the New Years weekend.

Always enjoy taking a look at AT40’ s 1978 yearbook whenever Premiere features a ’78 show. How unfortunate that this was a one-year-only publication.

"Ready To Take A Chance Again" was on the soundtrack of the Chevy Chase-Goldie Hawn movie "Foul Play".
