    Episode 83: The Week Ending November 17, 1979 Good Girls Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough

    This week it’s so good, so right, that we have some guest rankings to go along with ours. Still, there is a potential that there will be a heartache tonight. Will we rise above our individual biases and say “enough is enough”?  This week we listen to the pop muzic in the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending November 17, 1979. Will this be ladies night, or something that appeals more to a dirty white boy? Who knows? Damned if I do. This night won’t last forever, so dim all the lights and close your eyes. Perhaps you will dream, just beware of the dream police.

    Episode 82: The Week Ending October 19, 1974 Can’t Get Enough of Nothing from Nothing

    Well it may seem like this podcast is an overnight sensation, but actually, it took an everlasting love and devotion for the need to be the best that got us here. Sure you may be saying “What? You haven’t done nothin’!”.  Well to that we say, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Our 2 listeners can’t get enough of the show, and they consider us the kings of the party. This week the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending October 19, 1974 makes me feel like I got the music in me! So much so that we may just break into our Longfellow serenade, that one is my melody of love.

    Episode 81: The Week Ending September 20, 1975 Wasted Days and Wasted Nights Playing Solitaire

    The movie Jaws came out in June of 1975, and by September we all had a lot of bad blood about sharks and swimming in the ocean. The movie advertisements said it “may be too intense for younger children”, but I suppose at 17 it was ok. Sometimes it only takes a minute to overcome your fears and what a difference a day makes. I guess that’s just the way of the world. This week we have included celebrity ratings and comments from Nate at the Deep Purple Podcast. It's amazing we can get input from someone with that level of fame. Sure he wouldn’t be classified as a Black Superman, but nevertheless, on his show, he’s the proud one. This week we all provide our feelings for the songs in the Billboard Top 40 from the week ending September 20, 1975. How will Nate’s ratings influence the overall grade of the countdown? Will they be enough to fight the power of Mark and Pete?

    Episode 79: The Week Ending August 6, 1977 I Just Want To Be Your Handy Man

    Do you remember the days of the old school yard? How about getting your first place and having the telephone man put in a new telephone line? You otherwise probably had to be your own handy man back then. In 1977, being able to take a jet airliner down to Margaritaville meant you were livin’ the life.  It’s easy for those memories to fade like smoke from a distant fire, but don’t worry baby, we’re gonna give a little bit of a reminder so those memories don’t slide way on down.  This week we float on through the Billboard top 40 for the week ending August 6, 1977, and don’t stop early at the very end, the editor may have inserted just a song before I go.   Link to a listing of the songs in this week’s episode: https://top40weekly.com/1977-all-charts/#US_Top_40_Singles_Week_Ending_6th_August_1977 Data Sources: Billboard Magazine, where the charts came from and on what the countdown was based.

    Episode 78: The Week Ending July 10, 1971 Draggin’ the Line in the Summer Sand

    Sooner or later you knew we would get back to 1971. It is high time we went back before it’s too late! Wild horses couldn’t keep us away because in reality, we never can say goodbye for good. Maybe it wasn’t as obvious as a request in the want ads, but there were certainly signs that our audience wanted it. So join us for some escape-ism into the Billboard top 40 for the week ending July 10th, 1971. We promise to treat her like a lady, even if she is not so sweet and innocent.   Link to a listing of the songs in this week’s episode: https://top40weekly.com/1971-all-charts/#US_Top_40_Singles_Week_Ending_10th_July_1971 Data Sources: Billboard Magazine, where the charts came from and on what the countdown was based.

    Episode 77: The Week Ending May 31, 1975 Walking in Rhythm on Shakey Ground

    How long has it been since we went back to 1975, it seems like it was back in the podcast old days, but maybe it was only yesterday?  For some it was a bad time, when air travel was on shaky ground. The risk of a hijack was all too real and you feared at any moment to hear “get down, get down, get on the floor”! Fortunately for most of us, the only time we heard that was in the disco.  This week we do the hustle through the Billboard Top 40 songs from the week ending May 30th, 1975. With a shining star or two, and some magic within, we can say we haven’t said the last farewell to 1975.  Link to a listing of the songs in this week’s episode: https://top40weekly.com/1975-all-charts/#US_Top_40_Singles_Week_Ending_31st_May_1975 Data Sources: Billboard Magazine, where the charts came from and on what the countdown was based.

    Episode 76: Our 2nd Anniversary Extravaganza, Rock the Boat in the Navy

    The last time we had them on, our fans cried for “more, more, more” of John and Nate from the wonderful Deep Purple Podcast. So in order to calm the widespread le freak of our audience, we invited them back to help us celebrate our 2 year anniversary. When the listeners said of John and Nate “we miss you”, they were serious.  So when we ask them to be our guests, we were adamant with the guys that if we can’t have you, we don’t want anybody else. After 2 years, nobody has told us yet that we got to give it up, so knock on wood, we’ll be stayin’ alive for a bit longer.  This week we check out all the hot stuff from the Billboard’s Top 40 Hits from the Disco Era (Broadcast the week of July 7, 1979). This countdown is a reminder that you should be dancing. So get up and boogie and shake your body down to the ground!
