"Next up, a song by a group with a stranger lineup of instruments than any other successful rock band, Casey's Coast-to-Coast, American Top 40, this is Casey Kasem on the year-end edition of American Top 40, the countdown of the Top 100 hits of the year, you know, your basic rock band is composed of a guitar, a bass, a keyboard instrument, and a set of drums, add 2 cellos, and a violin, and you've got a special kind of rock band called, The Electric Light Orchestra, and ELO has the 70th biggest hit of the year, in, Evil Woman..." - Casey Kasem's American Top 40 - The 70's from December 25th, 1976, "The Top 100 Hits of 1976"  |

Is that a misprint, or is the Lost 45's countdown on New Years' Day really a Top 200? Last September 2019, the Lost45 over the Labor day weekend didn't have a top 100. However, there was a special top 200 that was broadcast for six consecutive weekends from August till mid-September. And I think it's this show you'll hear on the New Year's Day. |

Speaking of a station that is a bit slow to getting around to airing the B show, WQMV has been airing the Top 100 of 1978, bypassing hours 1 & 5.(currently in hour 6).

Sunday morning at 9, Casey counts down the Top 80 of 1973. It's a countdown that never happened originally since AT40 only did the top 40 of '73 back in the day. It's another Ken Martin special on WTOJ.

The A show is one of the three weekly countdowns featuring the full slice of American Pie. Ironically the B show will have a lot of songs edited as it was 10 months before the show went to four hours. |

Both shows have been aired once by Premiere. 1/8/72 was aired exactly 10 years ago, and these were the optional extras:
Hour #1: "Without You" - Nilsson
Hour #2: "Precious And Few" - Climax
Hour #3: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" - Robert John
1/7/78 was played a year later (so it could easily have been a standalone, except maybe for the fact that we just got the other end of 1978 in December). It had these extras:
Hour #1: "Why Can't We Be Friends" - War (original AT40 extra)
Hour #2: "Always & Forever" - Heatwave
Hour #3: "Midnight Train To Georgia" - Gladys Knight & The Pips (original extra)
