I'm going to go out on a limb and guess 12/16/1972 for the show for the weekend of December 21-22. I was right!  |

So next week's show is 12/16/72, the same date as this week's 12/16/78. which led me to wonder what the latest 'regular' December show was. Figure it has to be the week ending 12/26/70, as AT40 was airing shows the start of the chart week rather than at the end of the chart week until the spring of '71. So the 12/26/70 show was originally aired the weekend of 12/19-20/70. I do remember hearing this show when it first aired, as it was the first week that "My Sweet Lord" was #1. Has this 12/26/70 show ever been aired by Premiere?

December 16, 1972 with mono2stereo conversion by Ken Martin. I'm guessing Ken didn't replace the incorrect Rod Stewart song (not that it wouldn't have been interesting if he had). |

This week's presentations (Weekend of December 14-15, 2019): December 16, 1978 - 4 hours (OPTIONAL ORIGINAL HOUR 1). American Top 10: The Top 60 Christmas Songs - Part 2 - December 24, 2005 (HOLIDAY) - 3 hours. Cue sheets: December 16, 1978: charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/12-16-78.pdfI'm going to go out on a limb and guess 12/16/1972 for the show for the weekend of December 21-22. Can't be the 12/23 show, since that was the year-ender, which was run last year. 1977 and 1975 also have somewhat long droughts, but the last shows of both years were both played last year, so those are obviously out. 12/19/1970, my secondary guess, is also ripe for a repeat, since that was last played in 2014. The 1972 show I mentioned was last played in 2009, so that's why it's my first guess, while 12/19/1970 is closer to the show date. However, 1970 is a possible candidate for the year-ender, as it's been longest since we've heard that one, so that explains why it's my second guess. 1970 is probably a good guess for the year-end special. I am thinking we will hear some combination of 1970 with 1979 and the Top 50 of the 1970's special (with one as the A shows and the other as the B's). As usual, some curious show choices down the stretch... |

December 16, 1972 with mono2stereo conversion by Ken Martin. I'm guessing Ken didn't replace the incorrect Rod Stewart song (not that it wouldn't have been interesting if he had). As I recall, "Los Paraguayos" (the 'B' side) was played instead of "Angel", correct? This upcoming first hour has a lot of truly 'lost' 45s: Besides Rod, there's the Classics IV's final top 40 record, "What Am I Crying for?", Lighthouses great 'other' top 40 record, "Sunny Days", the Brothers Gibb's last top 40 appearance until "Jive Talkin'", "Alive", Raspberries' great second top 40 record "I Wanna Be With You", and Carole King's rarely heard "Been To Canaan". And the soundalike follow-up by that nasty perv, but that one I can do without... |

And the soundalike follow-up by that nasty perv, but that one I can do without... And while the songs aren't "lost", that first hour has the rather unique occurrence of a newlywed husband and wife, they of course being James Taylor and Carly Simon, each debuting with a solo hit. "Los Paraguayos" was the B-side of "Angel" (Rod Stewart's cover of a Jimi Hendrix song) that Casey presumably played by mistake. And this was the only week that 45 was in the top 40. At times before Ken Martin has corrected such errors; not sure if he did that here, but he did convert it to stereo which AT40 wasn't originally broadcast in until sometime the following year. |

I wonder if many regular listeners to AT40 were surprised to learn on the first regular countdown of 1973 (week ending Jan. 6)--that the #1 song was You're So Vain by Carly Simon--since the song was #37 on the last regular weekly countdown heard in 1972; since the next two week ends AT40 presented the Top 80 of 1972. I believe that was the biggest move a song made while the regular countdowns were pre-empted for specials, during AT40's 1970-88 run.

That caused my jaw to drop on Sunday, January 7, 1973, when I heard Carly at #1, although as the top 10 unfolded the I remember thinking 'Could it be?' and then, once "Clair" started playing as the #2 song, 'I guess it is!" |

I believe that was the biggest move a song made while the regular countdowns were pre-empted for specials, during AT40's 1970-88 run. That's really a remarkable chart notation. However, any regular AT40 listener who paid attention to the current music scene (that should be just about everyone -- except apparently mga707!) was likely not surprised that Carly Simon made the leap to #1 during the year-end hiatus. "You're So Vain" was a hot single which, in fact, jumped into Billboard's Top 10 following its #37 debut, thanks to a combination of significant local airplay and sales. And I believe this should be pointed out -- in 1972, Top 40 stations stayed with the format through the holidays. The exceptions were 1 or 2 days of full-time Christmas music, and a few hours dedicated to year-end countdowns. Carly Simon's single continued to grow in popularity through December into January. Unless a regular AT40 listener hibernated without a radio for 3 weeks (December 16 to January 6), there should've been no surprise. But again, a noteworthy chart feat. |

In my defense, based on local airplay I fully expected Carly to be way up on that week's chart, top 10 would not have been surprising. But having her at #1 was, at least to me. That #37 to #10 leap two weeks prior was quite unusual. And it was a song I liked--on December 26, 1972 I used my Christmas money to buy two 45s at Sears: EJ's "Crocodile Rock" (with that strange-looking all-black MCA label--what had happened to the familiar Uni Records yellow?) and "You're So Vain". Which, come to think of it, I'm pretty sure was the first time I'd seen the Elektra caterpillar label as well. |
