Wait, you mean 1975 and 1976 aren't both standalone years? 1975 isn’t. The only 70s years currently played as standalones (outside of when the Christmas shows are B’s) are 1976, 1977, and three hour 1978. For the 80s, everything from 1983-88 is a standalone, unless it’s the B to an earlier 80s A. I wish 1975 and/or 1979 went to standalone status.

Is 9/20/80 the only show where "Late In The Evening" is censored? Since I have heard it uncensored before I assume that was Premiere's doing and not in the original show.
Also, the listing for the "On The Road Again" OE says "Live". That didn't sound any different than the version I'm used to hearing. Was the version that became a hit live and I just never noticed it or did they play the studio version instead?

The Hot 100 charts from both issues of Billboard posted here have been removed. FYI.

Willie Nelson is at #40 with his last top 40 hit on this week's show. Excluding one hit wonders, this is the 15th time in AT40 history that an artist's last top 40 hit peaked at 40. The first 14...Curtis Mayfield in 1974, Stampeders, Supremes and Average White Band in 1976, Ray Stevens as the Hen House Five Plus Two in 1977, Gene Cotton in 1978, Exile in 1979, Bonnie Pointer in 1980, LTD, Con Funk Shun, Andy Gibb, Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass and Blue Oyster Cult in 1981. To All The Girls I've Loved Before??

To All The Girls I've Loved Before?? You got me there. I deleted the post since without the Willie Nelson reference, it has nothing to with the 80s show. The other 14 are correct. But here is something that does. Aretha Franklin can thank Luther Vandross for getting her back into the top 40. Although that is an example of the stiff headwinds black artists were facing then. Sounds like a top 15 maybe top 10 hit to me..."Jump to it".

For Casey's Top 40/Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 we can add Debbie Gibson in 1993 with "Losing Myself" which spent 1 week on the R&R CHR chart at #40. (This song that never made Shadoe AT40 then using Top 40 Mainstream Billboard Chart Source). This would be the last Debbie Gibson top 40 appearance anywhere.

Eurythmics also did that with their last hit in 1989. There have to be others after 1982 to the present day.

are 3 more.

There has to be an explanation for so many acts having their last hit land exactly at #40, instead of somewhere else in the lower 5 of the chart....

I'd always assumed that Willie's song was one of those 'live in studio' (or 'fake live') recordings, like "Got To Give It Up" or "Barbara Ann".

Actually there must be quite a few that peaked in the lower 5 positions with their last hit. Just looking at the A and B artists, Alabama, Allman Brothers, Bellamy Brothers, Blackfoot, Blondie, Blue Magic, Blues Brothers and Jimmy Buffett did so. In the process of looking that up, I uncovered 2 more artists whose last hit peaked at 40...Beverly Bremers in 1972 and Laura Branigan in 1985.

Laura did have another hit in 1987-88 with "The Power of Love", which peaked at #26. (Celine Dion had a bigger hit with it in the 1990s).

About 2 years later than her #40 hit just like the Willie Nelson hit I overlooked. At least I'm consistent. By the way, having just heard Club Nouveau with their "Lean on Me" hit reminds me that they are another artist peaking in the last 5 positions. A lot of these artists are 2 hit wonders as they are. Displaced from the #1 spot this week is another act that peaked in the last 5 positions with their last hit...Chicago.

Celine Dion's version of "The Power Of Love" went to # 1 in 1994.
