Prediction for next week's show: 1st Guess - 10/30/71 2nd Guess - 10/25/75 According to post by Pete B. a few weeks back, there is but one 1971 weekly countdown remaining on the schedule for 2019. I'll guess that happens next week. I'll also guess that means there's a very good chance that the year-end special will be the Top 40 of 1971 this time around (a real stretch I know, since it's by far the one that's been played the longest ago of all 1970's year enders). I looked it up and 1971 hasn't been the year end show since 2008 (I thought it had been more recently). So that's a decent prediction. The question is if we get a second year end show the following week. In 2008-09 the 1971 year ender was followed by a special originally broadcast in mid-1974. 1973 and 1979 also had only one week YE countdowns: in 2011 the year end show was one weekend of 1973 and nothing else, while in 2016-17 it was those two shows on consecutive weekends. One of them will probably be the B offering if 1971 is the A. If we get an October 1971 A (10/23/71 could also be used), then this would be the second year in a row with no regular November or December shows from that year. |

Optional extras from this show's previous airing (October 24-25, 2015): Hour #1: "Love Machine (Part 1)" - The Miracles (#90; debuted) Hour #2: "That's The Way (I Like It)" - KC & The Sunshine Band (#50; highest debut) Hour #3: "Heat Wave" - Linda Ronstadt (was at #12 that week but Casey played the B-side "Love Is A Rose") No apparent reason to make any changes, but you never know... |

"Love Is A Rose" was written by Neil Young.

There's an ad in this issue about Tim Moore's "Second Avenue," a fine song that made its AT40 debut this week in a cover by Art Garfunkel, but could not push past #34. |

Mainly because it was 'battling' with Moore's original, which debuted the same week as Art's version--9/21--and reached #58. Moore's original spent 5 weeks on the 100, vs. 8 for Garfunkel's cover version. One of the rare occasions in which I really like both versions. |

I was browsing through the 1974 Billboard issue for this week and one of it’ Top Singles picks was Nobody by The Doobie Brothers.It was a re-release and never became a big hit.A few weeks later Black Water was released.It was the B-side and Another Park Another Sunday was the A side(I actually prefer this song over Black Water)

After that Warners tried "Nobody" from their debut album, then got lucky with "Black Water." |

Hoggy, 1pm EDT Sunday should also be a great 1974 bet. Any other 1974 candidates left for today or tomorrow? Thanks |

Has Ken Martin announced which show WTOJ will be playing? Since Ken provided the stereo conversion for 1970, I would assume that show. Good point ... and they pretty much always play the 'A' show. |
