"Wooden Heart" by Joe Dowell is one of the "AT40 Archive" songs on this week's A show presentation from 9/20/80-It was featured in the 1960 Elvis Presley movie "G.I.Blues"-Interestingly enough,Presley's rendition never made the Billboard Hot 100-However,it spent six weeks at # 1 on the UK Singles chart in March & April 1961-In 1964 & 1965,"Wooden Heart" by Presley bubbled under the Hot 100 at positions # 107 & # 110 respectively-The cover version by Dowell was a simultaneous # 1 hit on both the Hot 100 & Easy Listening charts in the late summer of 1961.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but I just now noticed that AT40 swapped #12 and #15 from the official Billboard charts on Sept 1 1984. Round and Round at #12 on Billboard was announced at #15, while I Can Dream About You at #15 on Billboard was announced at #12 According to Pete's book, it wasn't AT40's error but Billboard's. They most likely sent a chart to the staff then Billboard updated it after.

Crossing my fingers Premiere airs the 10/31/1987 show this year. 🤞🤞🤞🤞 If they're going for the oldest non-guested hosted show in October, they'll probably play 10-17-87, which last aired in 2020. 10-31-87 last aired in 2022. Or they could wait till 11-7-87, which last aired in 2019.

8/15/1987 now starting on WSMG. I think this was a B show from about a month ago.

Another mention of "Mull of Kintyre" failing to chart in the 1980 show. This comes 3 weeks after another Paul McCartney release failed to chart. His followup to "Coming Up" called "Waterfalls" peaked at 108. A few big name artists had subpar chart performances in this time. In this show with hits that peaked in the 30s are Elton, Hall & Oates and Jermaine Jackson (not as big a name as the others but writer and producer Stevie Wonder is).

Hearing Dionne Warwick's "No Night So Long" reminded me that its lyricist, Will Jennings, passed away last week. He wrote a lot of hits for Steve Winwood and others: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Jennings#Hits

Two of the OE's from 9/19/87 were remakes of songs that were originally hits for Tommy James & The Shondells-They subsequently went to # 1 for Billy Idol & Tiffany respectively.

Interesting fact about this week's countdowns: Not only are Dionne Warwick and Natalie Cole on both the 1980 and 1987 shows, their songs are in the same positions on both shows (No Night So Long and Love Power are at #26, and Someone That I Used to Love and Jump Start are at #21).
