Shenanigans aside, the big drops from #1 which happened one last time on this week's show with John Lennon dropping to 12 maybe made Wardlow realize that all these big drops not only from #1 were ridiculous. Full disclosure...the recession then was given as the reason for the big drops. So the 11/30/74 chart was somewhat of a restoring of order with that BTO rebound and more reasonable drops from #1. Don't forget several years later in 1982-1983 during the last Wardlow years when there were a lot of holding at peak position before taking big drop songs. Bill Wardlow might’ve done this week’s AT40 Hot AC chart, as “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” falls from #1 to #8, the biggest drop in decades.

Regarding AT40: The 70's 11/23/1974 via WVLI Kankakee, Illinois:
I didn't know Shirley "Woman to Woman" Brown is from East St. Louis, Illinois (near St. Louis, Missouri, of course).
To tie in with "Tin Man" by America: Casey mentioned Liza Minelli married the actor who played the Tin Man in the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie (named not mentioned, but it's Jack Haley who played the Tin Man, Jack Haley passed away 5 years later). But Casey made an error that Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" went to #1 but that song went to #2!
Also: Because of 2 Kankakee Holiday Festival weekend updates, WVLI never played the first 2 11/23/1974 AT40: The 70's OPTIONAL EXTRAS, but did play the third ("Dancing Fool" by the Guess Who).

Casey Kasem said, "Just a few months ago, Judy Garland's daughter Liza Minelli married the son of the man who played the Tin Man in the movie Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland." The year of Oz indeed, it was celebrating its 35th Anniversary, yet he somehow forgot to mention Eldorado, A Symphony by The Electric Light Orchestra from September 1974 that has an eventual favorite of his, "Can't Get It Out of My Head"...

Very ironic quote from Harry Chapin that Casey mentioned. Harry didn't think the world would make it to the year 2000. It did, but sadly he didn't live to see it, dying in an auto wreck in 1981.

I saw Harry live about a year and a half after this chart week, in April 1976. And yes, it was a benefit for a local food bank!
