We have an interesting scenario brewing on the Country Top 40: Luke Combs' incredible string of #1's to start his career may be in jeopardy; he's currently at 16. (Reminds me of the Beatles' scenario on the album chart back in the 60s; their own popularity prevented their #1 streak from being extended.) Currently, Luke has two songs in the top 10: "Love You Anyway" is at #10, steadily climbing, and then "Fast Car" which is doing just what it says, zooming up to #4. Unless by some miraculous chart occurrence, I'm not sure Luke will make #1 with both songs. I hope he does, man, that would be a great chart feat already extended. I'll be watching out for both songs in the coming weeks. "Fast Car" is also on AT40, having recently debuted. Haven't caught the latest show yet but will in the next couple of days.

And this is for the Mediabase 24/7 chart, where as Billboard the streak was broken due to horrible timing. I do think Billboard needs to change the recurring rules and change the way spins/audience to determine a song's current position on the chart, similar to Mediabase 24/7. Anyway, here's the cue sheet for tonight's 6/28/1986 show airing on KFYZ shown below, back when that year there was a new #1 song every week, and faster turnover. charismusicgroup.com/ACC%20Cue%20Sheets/ACC%201986-0628.pdf

As longtime ACC fans know, the original super streak for No. 1 hits belonged to Alabama, who from 1980-1987 had 21 straight without a miss (discounting the holiday-only “ Christmas In Dixie.” Their record displaced Sonny James, who had 16 without a miss from 1967-1971, again, not counting Christmas songs, none of which charted. Blake Shelton and Earl Thomas Conley also had at least 15 straight since ACC started in 1973. The original super streak No. 1 artist? Buck Owens. The future “Hee Haw” host and his Bakersfield Sound hit a real chord with fans, and from 1963-1967, each of his 14 A-sided singles reached No. 1, and in 1964 one of those singles — “ Together Again,” the B-side of “ My Heart Skips a Beat,” — had both the A- and B-sides separately reach No. 1, to make it a 15-song streak. In between Sonny James and Alabama, the longest No. 1 song streak was by Ronnie Milsap, who reached the top 10 consecutive times from 1980-1983, broken by the crossover hit “ Stranger In My House.” He’d have another 10-song streak, starting with the follow-up to “Stranger …” (“ Dont You Know How Much I Love You”) through 1988, broken by “ Button Off My Shirt.” Incidentally, Eddy Arnold, who had 20 of his 28 No. 1 hits from 1947-1955, never had a string of more than five consecutive No. 1 single releases, and that was in an era where separately charting B-sides could have helped extend such a streak. His longest 1960s streak, when he had his last eight chart toppers, was three (1965-1966, which included “ Make the World Go Away”). Brian

Not too long after, the opening/closing theme music would change that would last until the spring of 1982, and then by June 1982 the 1978 theme would be re-worked that would last until the end of 1983. Despite this the original fiddle theme music would continue to be used as end-of-hour theme in hours 1 and 2 until the spring of 1982.

It would be just three shows later, on 7/22/1978, that the theme music would change. Still unclear on the date of the 1982 change, but the recently aired 6/19 show has to be one of the first to have that new theme.

And from 2021 as well making it three years in a row... let alone 1986 featuring again so soon. They could have had other years to choose from that would have been a better choice to be honest and hold back 1986 for a while.
But at least with WSM-AM on Saturday mornings, their CT40 shows are basically new, with the past Saturday from July 10, 2010. Rarely they will skip a week but they generally go in chronological order.

Next wednesday July 19, 2023 on KFYZ : ACC July 16, 1983. Source : KFYZ facebook page I’m sorta surprised KFYZ didn’t go with July 23, 1983. I don’t know what Bob’s stretch story was that week for the No. 1 hit “ Pancho and Lefty” (by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard), but at least on the 1983 ACC Book Of Records and YE 1983 specials, it was promoted as the longest song (in running time) to ever reach No. 1 on the Billboard country chart (at 4:43, assuming the 45 RPM version), beating out Marty Robbins’ “ El Paso” (from 1959-1960) by two seconds. Except there was at least one earlier No. 1 song to reach No. 1 that was lengthier: “ Teddy Bear” by Red Sovine, from 1976, at 5:01). This was corrected on the 1988 ACC Book Of Records show. Brian

Brian I'm glad it's the 7/16 show, because they've already aired 7/23. I'll quote Bob's #1 intro from that show: You know, down through the years, one of country music's most enduring musical forms is the story song. Hank Williams' "Kaw-Liga", Marty Robbins' "El Paso", and Kenny Rogers' "Coward Of The County" are just three examples of songs that are actually like mini-movies. Now such songs deal with a momentary crisis, but somehow, the person's overall background, attitudes, frustrations, and living conditions must also be woven into the tapestry. Then, with just the right vocal interpretation, the characters become so real you can almost touch them. And so it is with this week's number one song. Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard fit together like two sides of the same voice. And together, they bring to life Townes Van Zandt's musical saga of "Pancho And Lefty".
