I rec'd my book also. I found it very interesting on page 352, listing of the Top #1 Dance/Disco Hits 1974-1979. After comparing Mr. Whitburn's list to the AT40 Songs of the Disco Era 1974-1979 which is based on Billboard's ranking (Casey's broadcast date July 7, 1979), in my opinion, the club plays were the best. It puzzles me that more of the Whitburn list didn't make it to the Top 40 list for the same time period. Oh, well. The AT 40 list:
20. Star Wars Theme-Cantina Band-Meco
19. More, More, More-Andrea True Connection
18. Miss You-Rolling Stones
17. Car Wash-Rose Royce
16. If I Can't Have You-Yvonne Elliman
15. Shake Your Booty-KC & The Sunshine Band
14. I'm Your Boogie Man-KC & The Sunshine Band
13. Dance, Dance, Dance-Chic
12. MacArthur Park-Donna Summer
11. Don't Leave Me This Way-Thelma Houston
10. Y.M.C.A.-Village People
09. Boogie Oogie Oogie-Taste Of Honey
08. I Love The Night Life-Alicia Bridges
07. Do Ya Think I'm Sexy-Rod Stewart
06. I Will Survive-Gloria Gaynor
05. A Fifth of Beethoven-Walter Murphy
04. Best Of My Love-The Emotions
03. Staying Alive-Bee Gees
02. Night Fever-Bee Gees
01. Le Freak-Chic

Maybe that's the reason why all the compilations contain the same old top 40 songs..What do you think about the listing for 1974-1979?
