Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess: 3/24/79 2nd Guess: 3/25/78
I'm not totally sure it's time for 1979 again but I can't come up with a better option, unless they repeat a 1973 show that's been aired in the last 2-3 years...

Briefly reviving a discussion from a few weeks back, since two of the AT40 Archives in this week's 1980's Premiere "A" show offering (March 22nd, 1980) were none other than "Love Is Thicker Than Water" by Andy Gibb and "Night Fever" by The Bee Gees, illustrating the never-matched chart feat of siblings replacing each other at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100: I was looking through some old charts and it's funny how "Love Is Thicker Than Water" knocked out "Stayin' Alive" only to be knocked out by "Night Fever". Can anyone think of another time the top 2 songs in the country were by siblings? Really quite a remarkable achievement among the many feats the brothers Gibb performed in 1978. I think that's the only time that's ever happened. It's even rare for siblings to have #1s in the same calendar year, although it happened most recently in 2004 when Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson hit #1 on AT40. If you go by R&R's published dates and not Casey's Top 40 airdates, then Janet and Michael Jackson both had #1s in 1991. Indeed; Michael and Janet had the first and last #1s that year. Only Madonna, who came before Janet, prevented this from also being the case on the Hot 100. While they never occupied the Top Two simultaneously, there is one other pair of fairly close relatives who succeeded each other at #1! On February 15th, 1986, Whitney Houston rose from #5 to the Top Spot with "How Will I Know", ending the four-week run in the penthouse for Dionne And Friends with "That's What Friends Are For" (which slipped to #5) -- Whitney Houston and Dionne Warwick are first cousins! (Zero times removed, despite being born 22 years apart...)

I, er, love how Casey intros the Al Green hit -- "L-O-V-E (Love)" -- as "Love, Love", rather than spelling out L-O-V-E. Guess nobody had heard the song prior to? "love-love" is a tennis score, isn't it?

I wonder if any of you knew the answer to the question asked about the most albums in the 200 at the same time. I bet you were all surprised about the answer being Mitch Miller (even though his show "Sing Along With Mitch" was popular around the time of his chart feat).

"love-love" is a tennis score, isn't it? Also in tennis, if one point is won, the corresponding call is "15". And guess what #15 by the Jackson five is: "I Am Love"!!!

WLDE is running Nov 10, 1979 (start with 2nd hour) back to making same mistakes as before. Not only are they playing the wrong show, but they finally managed to play all 3 optional extras from Nov 10, 1979 as well, like after Archive: Love Machine, they played 2nd opt xtra, 3rd opt xtra, and then to have #11 Good Girls Don't, like normal countdown including last opt xtra. When first aired by WLDE in Nov 2013, they haven't played optional extras at all.

Two weeks in a row KEGK playing American Hit List in the Sunday 8am slot.
Edit: 80s list indicates they've moved on.

I can't believe that WLDE would air Nov 1979 instead of March '75 show. It's understanding that this server didn't receive the show or having computer problems.... But the past few weeks seemed to air in correct order.

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess: 4/3/76 2nd Guess: 4/3/71
I'm a little stumped...there is no real clear cut choice for next week's show. 4/3/71 was aired as a B show last year, which is why I'm making it the 2nd guess. 4/3/76 was aired in 2012, but then again, so was 3/31/73. Not really any other year would make sense, unless they strayed quite a bit from the current date...

Again, don't know the dates just yet.
