It's that time again, lovelies! We're going back.. to 1976 to listen to Casey Kasem's American Top 40 on Sirius XM satellite radio! Hop in the time machine.

Listen to Casey on the 70s station. Read this thread for my nonsense. Dance and have fun. #AT40

Debuting at #40, it's Tyrone Davis 💜, back on the charts, with "Give It Up, Turn It Loose". #AT40

So you say you tried
But you just can't find the pleasure
People around you givin' you pressure
Try to resist all the hurt that's all around you
If you taste it, it will haunt you 🎤

Earth, Wind & Fire!!! - "Getaway" falls six to #39. #AT40

This one's hard to find on YouTube.. I don't think there's even official audio. I don't know what it is, candidly. But it's debuting at #38. Y'all bought it! Let's hear it once again, for maybe the last time, whatever it is. #AT40

This one was written by Parker McGee.. great name. Anyway, it's England Dan & John Ford Coley - "Nights Are Forever Without You" debuting at #37. #AT40

Anyway, this one from The Salsoul Orchestra debuts at #36. #AT40 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salsoul_O…

Now, I don't need no superstar
'Cause I'll accept you as you are
You won't be denied
'Cause I'm satisfied
With the love you inspire 🎤

It's Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. - "You Don't Have to Be a Star (To Be in My Show)" movin up four to #35 #AT40

Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the TV's dead and gone
I may be lonely
But I'm never alone
And the night may pass me by
But I'll never cry 🎤 💜

We're still having fun, and you're still the one 🎤

Orleans plummets from #5 way down to #26. #AT40

Hey, this one falls just like the last one: from #4 way down to #25.. that seems suspicious, Los Angeles.. or everyone suddenly started buying 50s records again? Which, yeah, that's happening in this countdown, too. #AT40

Boz Scaggs - "Lowdown"

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine, what wine, where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream. I don't believe where I've been
Come on - let's do it again

Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do? 🎤

Ooh, baby, don't you hesitate 'cause 🎤

Spit your game Rod Stewart. #22 #AT40

Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me, we're goin' out
To catch the latest sound
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come down 🎤

Can you hear the drums, Fernando?
I remember, long ago, another starry night like this
In the firelight, Fernando
You were humming to yourself and softly strumming your guitar 🎤

Yo gABBA gabba, hey 🤣. 🇸🇪 #18 #AT40

She's gone, she's gone

She's gone, and she's gone
Oh why, what went wrong? 💜🎤
