WSQL is running the 1970 show as of right now. Stream is crummy. The stream possibly crummy because of the hurricane. |

That Stewart trifecta was the third in AT40 history. The first happened just 4 weeks after this show when Johnnie Taylor joined R. Dean and James in the 40. The second was in 1972 when Carly. Paul and Joe Simon pulled it off. But no back to back situations. Carly and Paul were 2 notches apart once in 1973 however.

For the next weekend, 1974 looks like a good option. 10/19/74 last aired as an A show in 2008, a B show in 2019.
Given that, I'll go with 10/20/79 over 10/20/73 for next weekend. 1979 show last aired in 2021. 10/20/73 last aired in 2020.
For the B show, I'll go with 10/19/74.

Breaking News (from October 17, 1970)…
As noted in a Billboard front page article, MGM Records signed on as an “American Top 40” network advertiser, with the show only on the air for 3 months. Highlights from the write-up:
*The record label purchased all available ad time on AT40 for 6 weeks.
*MGM artists likely to featured in ads included Bobby Bloom (who debuted on AT40 this week), the Osmonds, the Mike Curb Congregation, and Heintje, a Dutch recording act.
*An acquaintance of Casey, Mike Curb noted, “Our promotion men checked the impact the show made where it was aired and our conclusion was that Kasem and the show definitely sold product.”
*The countdown was heard in 30 markets as of 10/17/70.
*The most recently added AT40 affiliates were in Seattle, Cleveland and Houston. (An article in the 10/24/70 issue of Billboard announced the addition of KRLA, Los Angeles.)
*Also noted, AT40 had weekly access to advance Hot 100 chart information. For timeliness, the show was ‘rush produced’ with the entire program written, recorded, shipped and aired within the same 7 days. The Top 40 singles list taken from the 10/17/70 survey originally aired the weekend of October 10-11.
The first MGM Records ad appeared during the 10/17/70 program and promoted a new single, “Burning Bridges” by the Mike Curb Congregation.

"Burning Bridges" was on the soundtrack of the movie "Kelly's Heroes" & reached the top forty in early 1971-It's a great song!

After a week off for some reason of not downloading that week's show or something like that, WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin is now airing this morning AT40: The 70's 10/17/1970 (with mono2stereo conversion by Ken Martin)! Glad it is still airing Saturday mornings on the station along with AT40: The 80's Sunday mornings!
Only a month away until WXXM goes all Christmas and airs the AT40 Christmas shows on weekends anyway...
Also: For 10/17/1970: I didn't know Freda Payne was once the understudy for Leslie Uggams in the Broadway musical "Hallehula Baby". Leslie Uggams is still alive but retired from Broadway performing, I guess.

I wish a future AT40: The 70's 1970 show did a montage of the MGM Record commercials for an OPTIONAL EXTRA. |

WILV skipped the second & third segment of the 10/16/70 show. In other words, they jumped seven notches from 37 to 30!
Not all bad though, got to hear my favorite song on the survey sooner (Teegarden & Van Winkle's "God, Love And Rock & Roll").
Guessing they'll go back?

When I just came in/tuned in: WVLI is playing the first OPTIONAL EXTRA of "I Think I Love You" by the Partridge Family. And now WVLI is starting hour 2 of 10/17/1970. |
