American Top 10 Christmas Show

[MEF]

I've heard AT10 Saturday Morning on WRVF from Toledo. The 2nd week AT10 Christmas show is very different from last weeks. So, it appears there will be a good variety. There is a Michael Bolton song on the show (yuck!), but I'm not a Michael Bolton fan. Casey does mention his annual "Silent Night" story from World War I.

Christmas this year falls on Saturday. I wonder how AT10 will be aired that weekend. Those stations that broadcast AT10 on Sunday, it would be the day after Christmas. Radio stations for some reason stop the Christmas music at 12:01 a.m. on 12/26. So, if AT10 is still Christmas on the 12/25, 12/26 weekend, does that mean AT10 won't air on those stations that air AT10 on Sunday?

If the AT10 show on 12/25, 12/26 weekend becomes the AT10 year end show, then the Saturday AT10 stations won't be air Casey, due to Christmas music.

They will probably go ahead and air the same show regardless of Christmas Music or not on Dec 25 or 26 and probably will air the Year End show on the following weekend. Now with the AT20 show they may very well air the first 1/2 on Christmas weekend and the second 1/2 the following weekend. But AT20 doesn't have the xmas specials whereas AT10 does.

At the end of AT10 this weekend, Casey says he will begin counting down the top 60 Christmas songs.

So, AT10 will probably countdown from 60 to 31 on the 12/11-12 weekend. The top 30 (30 to 1) will most likely air on the weekend of 12/18-19.

Does that mean that there might be a full Top 60 year end countdown this year?

Either that, or maybe a Top 30 of the week of Christmas and the week after, the Top 30 of the decade so far, since I remember they did one of those halfway through the 90s.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, right?

I doubt their will be a top 60 AC countdown. It will be the usual 30 then back the the weekly Top 10 and spotlight features

Yeah, before posting that, I realized that the first half of the countdown would consist chiefly of songs that never made the Top Ten and apparently, that's a big no-no for AC stations.
