Another AT40 question

Santi Paradoa wrote: I recently heard the Sept. 1971 show where Casey played a song I had never ever heard before. He played "The First Time" by the Glass Bottle which is the b-side of the #36 song in that week's countdown "I Ain't Got Time Anymore." First time I heard that blunder.

Funny when I listen to AT40 on SiriusXM I always have the Hot 100 in
front of me so as to make sure I don’t miss a good song. This song was
one of my favorites on this countdown and of course they played the
wrong side! So I waited until two less desirable songs came up and
then went to YouTube to listen to the correct Glass Bottle song.

I always thought the the fact that AT40 and Record Research used the
billboard charts was a significant factor in increasing billboard’s
dominance in charts. What if they used Cashbox’s charts instead?
Every listener would have sought out the magazine and tremendously
increased its popularity.

PS most SiriusXM listeners (including myself) who listen to 60s on 6
thought Lou Simon’s weekly countdowns were even better than Casey.
They don’t have the nostalgia of being an actual countdown from the
time but Lou’s style and the great songs were hard to beat.
