Yeah that one was really awful! I wondered if the stations cd had skipped! I was convinced of exactly that until I got a copy on CD a few weeks later and verified it. |

My favorite edit was and is and probably always will be one done on CT40 sometime in 1993. "I'd Die Without You" by PM Dawn was #1...and was edited down to about 90 seconds! Hmm, heard the CT40 from 1/28/95 the other day and they edited "You Want This" by Janet down to 90 seconds. Can you say....too many R&Ds?!! Or too many commercials! But the commercials are a necessity, the R&Ds are not. |

Jumping the gun on the 2/9/1980 show before davewollenberg does  ... it appears that "Refugee" by Tom Petty and/or "Do You Love What You Feel" by Rufus were edited in the original airing. Refugee is about 3:20 in length with DYLWYF about 3:45. The segment on AT40 featuring those songs clocks in at 5:36 according to the original cue sheet. You wouldn't think songs in 1980 would have to be trimmed, but with "Hotel California" by The Eagles being the AT40 Archives song that hour, I guess one or two songs had to be shortened. And yes, I just realized that I edited both group names above  ... Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and Rufus & Chaka Khan were at #31 and #30, respectively. |

That would have been on 10/31, 11/7, or (guest hosted) 11/14/92. Odd that a #1 would be substantially edited at all, let alone that short, as most or all weeks they insisted on having a story leading into it. |

10/31/92, and what you said is one of the reasons why I felt the original AT40 was much better than CT40 and the new AT40. The latter two became so incredibly formulaic. I remember once hearing the tops of the other charts prior to a #1 song on the new AT40 and never remember it on CT40. This would have been especially helpful when there was a long reign at #1 which was several songs by 1992.

Me too, but chalk it up to the same reason why on most CT40 shows from the early 90s, you hear the same jingles over and over again (there actually were more "segment open" jingles than the one with the rolling drum)...lazy production. When the show ran long, why go back and edit on an earlier segment for time when you can just chop down the last segment that you're still working on to make the hour/show time out properly. |

the 2nd verse of 'Blinded' always gets edited. Can't help but wonder if it's a Premiere edit.

Actually, all the words of 'Refugee' were heard.

If that's "Blinded By the Light", by Manfred Mann's Earth Band, it may have been an original edit; by 1977 AT40 really had to strain sometimes to fit the top 40, plus often extras, into three hours and they sometimes created their own edits of songs that they always used. However, it's worth noting that last week SXM ran the 1/29/77 show and they did the opposite: they edited in the whole 7 minute album version. |

Do they do much editing more of songs into the programs? |

The Way You Make Me Feel (#37) got butchered toward the end.

Sarai had a top 40 hit in July 2003 with Ladies and AT40 looped the second verse a few times during its climb on the charts.

I think that the 5-20-89 CT40 show had an edited song, but I could be wrong. Buffalo Stance was just about done when Casey started talking when the song was still playing.
