WLVI Kankakee is now airing AT40: The 70's November 10, 1979 this Saturday afternoon starting with hour #2 with #32 by Elton John with the disco-ish "Victim of Love". I wonder if Elton John ever made Billboard's disco chart with "Victim of Love". I bet Elton didn't make the Billboard Disco/Dance charts in the 1970's and 1980's and maybe the 1990's. And Elton John's 1976 duet with Kiki Dee called "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" from 1976 isn't disco style. "Victim of Love (all cuts)" peaked at #55 on the Disco charts in 1979. "I Don't Wanna Go on with You Like That" peaked at #7 in 1988. Per the Hot Dance/Disco Billboard book by Joel Whitburn 1974-2003. Did Elton make Billboard's dance charts with his 1994 RuPaul duet single of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" or not? |

It made #3 on the Dance Club Songs chart. |

Hoping for 1974 next weekend--way overdue, and of course paired with a Christmas Special.

If Billboard hadn't suspended the dance chart during COVID due to clubs being closed, I'd imagine "Cold Heart" with Dua Lipa could've easily gotten #1 there too. |

Bee Gees “Too Much Heaven” Quincy Jones "Stuff Like That" could be an optional extra this weekend. That would be a 'solid' selection as it's my favorite hit with Quincy Jones name on the label featuring the vocals of Ashford and Simpson along with Chaka Khan. I usually play the 8 minute YouTube version when it's in the countdown. |

A rare chart feat is accomplished in this show by Billy Joel. He falls out of the 40 with the last THE STRANGER single and debuts with the first single from 52ND STREET, his next album. This type of thing probably happened so few times in the 18 years of this series that you can count them on one hand. It did happen the week after last week's 80s show when Madonnas last single from her debut album was replaced by "Like a Virgin", the title track from her next album.
