The Love I Lost was supposed to be a ballad follow up to If You Don’t Know Me by Now. Then someone got the idea to do a fast take. Earl Palmers hi hats became the blueprint for every Disco single from that point on. This is the first true Disco record on #AT40
Hot Chocolate recorded the original Brother Louie. They made hit songs for others but would have to wait a few years to chart their own #AT40 hit.
Conway Twitty faced some country radio backlash for You’ve Never Been This Far Before. It’s the country music equivalent of Let’s Get it On. You know which one I prefer. #AT40
Guys, today we are going to hear the debut of the first true Disco Record to hit #AT40. Its drumming changed music forever and it’s my third favorite Disco song of all time.
Touch Me in the Morning is peak Diana drama, which was always her strong point as a recording artist. #AT40
The #AT40 Death Pop Battle Royale round two. The Ope edition Ope I forgot two worthy songs. Ope we had a tie. We had the largest vote totals last week. Let’s do it again. Thanks for your reposts. forms.gle/NCF9tSXYtjTZ...

Color me as glad that Johnny Mathis finally is able live his truth as a Gay man. #AT40
Donny Hathaway was always one song away from breaking through on the mainstream. Sadly it never happened though he’s regarded as a generational vocalist now #AT40
This 1978 #AT40 has so many hits that appealed to young adults vs teens. Case in point Feels So Good. It’s a great countdown that needs a bit more Soul.
if I Can’t Have You almost got lost among the many hits from SNF. I’d glad it found its audience. #AT40
Imaginary Lovers are the audience for the book I plan to publish before Twin Ports Pride next year. #AT40
Count On Me might be my fave Jefferson Stsrship song for the organ and piano alone. #AT40
On Broadway is just a well written song. I heard the original Drifters version when I was about 8 and the lyrics helped me envision how down and out this guy was. #AT40 It still evokes those feelings and memories.
Burn Baby Burn Disco Inferno rocks as hard as anything on this #AT40 My friend has a mash up of Disco Inferno and Madonna’s Music that’s one of his secret weapons when DJING
Take a Chance on Me is one of my face cuts from Erasure’s EP ABBA-esque. It’s near perfect updates on some of the best Pop ever. #AT40
Love is Like Oxygen follows the previous Sweet US hits as not sounding anything like the other hits. #AT40
Time for a Death Pop #AT40 Battle Royale reminder. This is the hugest number of votes we’ve had so far, chances are you’ve voted already. But if not vote here. forms.gle/SZGZXcoEeY9q...

Pick one from battle, may the best Death Pop song survive, unlike the song's subject

Right about this time in a college English class I wrote a critique comparing and contrasting Baker Street, Because The Night and Werewolves of London and their connection to the night. I got an A. #AT40
This is a great #AT40 for songs that still connect with me. I’m looking at you Deacon Blues.
Werewolves of London Therewolves of London #AT40

I recommend the Robert Palmer album Sneaking Sally Through the Alley. It was so ingrained in my mind that Every Kind Of People made sense when it cracked the #AT40 a few years later.
Dance With Me by Peter Brown is mainly him on instruments with Betty Wright as the Clean Up Woman. #AT40
The two oldest Dionne Quintuplets died in 2025 at the age of 91. #AntiquesRoadshow
What candy would you put in this Russian candy dish. Reeces PBC for me. #AntiquesRoadshow
There’s no babies like Snow Babies Like no babies I know. The #AntiquesRoadshow / Ethel Merman crossover we need.
