I will be increasingly disappointed as the countdown proceeds, but 1975/10/11 is off to a great start with one of my fave ABBA tunes, 'S.O.S.'at #40 #AT40

@balanceforever1.bsky.socialHello Jezza. Thank you for bringing us the countdown. Hope you enjoyed your day on your birthday. #AT40
@quarterpast.bsky.socialIt’s a bit of a shame there’s no Billy Preston on this #AT40 countdown, because he’ll be making an appearance later tonight on a fledgling network comedy show.
@quarterpast.bsky.socialThe music in this particular #AT40 is a magical mess: death pop, cringe ballads, novelty songs, sappy soul
Though there’s not a single disco song listed, it’s easy to see how the music industry laid all too vulnerable for something to fill the void left long ago by the dissolution of the Beatles
@quarterpast.bsky.socialOct. 11, 1975:
It’s a very special week which music historians and musicologists commonly refer to as “Peak Cocaine”*
We’re headed to the arcade to listen to the #AT40 and play an 8-person game the size of a modest living room.
[*This term would later be repurposed for Gremlins 2]

@porpster.bsky.socialNo Casey this week - Wink Martindale is sitting in.
Anyway, let's get started. ABBA kicks things off at #40 with a debut, "SOS". #AT40
@porpster.bsky.socialHop in the time machine. We're going back to October 11, 1975 for another Casey Kasem American Top 40 flashback #AT40. Who will be #1?
Listen to Casey on SiriusXM 70s on 7, and follow this 🧵 to find out.
@judyhampden.bsky.socialI figure it’s time to follow the HR #AT40 handbook rules. Can’t find any pics from ‘70s but dug up some from ‘80s, maybe 90s. Trip to Cancun and one from Key West.
Cancun and the beach on that coast. We fell on that gorgeous beach. It was packed.
Key West: must have been humid that day.
@balanceforever1.bsky.socialThank you for all the effort in bringing us the tournament and songs.
Vote. #AT40
@santorinidreaming.bsky.socialahhh. The Burns Who Cried Wolf. i know you are just a tyke in #AT40 years compared to us Paleozoic Era denizens, but hope things remain minor and manageable for ya ! Cheers!
@judyhampden.bsky.socialVery excellent excuse!! With you two in spirit, be loud. ✌🏼#AT40
@bradlovett.bsky.socialI will have to miss the Winkster today, I'll be Antifa-ing in the rain and then going to Secret City Improv Fest in Oak Ridge. Y'all have fun! #AT40
@bradlovett.bsky.socialWink Martindale passed in 2025, but was hosting a revived, weekly version of "The History of Rock and Roll" just before his death. He produced and hosted a lot of game shows, including the long-running Tic Tac Dough. #AT40
@judyhampden.bsky.socialBeautiful. Look at those mountains. #AT40 road trip
@70sweekly.bsky.socialRoctober10, 1970:Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie" hits #1, where it will stay for one week. It's a song about cheap wine. #AT40
