The American Top 40 repeat this weekend on SiriusXM 70’s on 7 is from May 29, 1976. The replay last week from 1975 was pretty rank- but this one is much more to my liking. Some garbage as always but a lot of pretty good songs/ artists. What an impressive start[ starting at #40} Of course it is just when songs are released etc that determines it but the bottom half of the chart is stronger than the top half.
