1974 Is the Land of the Lost Factor

Posted: 07 Aug 2020 10:00 AM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/ross/194432...e-lost-factor/


Eighteen months ago, a Facebook friend commented on a posting of a WLS
Chicago survey from February 1974. The No. 1 song was Terry Jacks, “Seasons
in the Sun.� The No. 2 song was the theme from The Way We Were by Barbra
Streisand. The two songs at the top of that list went on, in reverse order,
to become Billboard’s top two songs of the year. “This, in my opinion, is
the playlist that killed AM Top 40 radio,� wrote veteran PD/station owner
Pat “Martin� Lopeman.
Whatever your feelings about the hits of the ‘70s, 1974 is often considered
their epicenter. “Seasons in the Sun� is always the first and most
galvanizing reference. It’s practically the song that Barry Scott’s “The
Lost 45s!� specialty show was invented for. Before “Reservoir Dogs,� Rhino
Records’ ‘70s compilations, or SiriusXM’s ‘70s on 7. “The Lost 45s!� was
the first place to address ‘70s pop as an entity in any way other than
“thank God it’s gone.� Jacks was Scott’s first guest, and “Seasons� is
still the all-time champ on the show’s Labor Day Weekend Top 100. It has
also made other appearances in this column.
1974 is a year of oddball provocations, from “Annie’s Song� to “The Night
Chicago Died� to the debut of “Abra-Ca-Dabra� by the DeFranco Family; (the
latter didn’t make Billboard’s Top 100 of the year, but it is in the top 10
at WLS). But 1974 is also a great year for R&B (“For the Love of Money,�
“Hollywood Swingin’,� “Tell Me Something Good,� “Mighty Love�) and the year
in rock that gave us “The Joker,� “Band on the Run,� and “Sweet Home
Alabama.� And if you’re one of those people nostalgic for a time when “Top
40 played it all,� it’s definitely one of those years.
1974 produced dozens of hits that should have found a place when the “good
time oldies� format moved from the ‘60s to the ‘70sCome and Get Your Love,�
“Waterloo,� “Dancing Machine,� “Rock On,� “Smokin’ in the Boys Room,� “Rock
Your Baby,� “Rock the Boat.� Only a few of those found a home even at the
format’s fringes; now Classic Hits is mostly living in the ‘80s anyway.
Scott says this year’s “Lost 45s!� countdown will evenly split between ‘70s
and ‘80s, but 1974 will maintain a strong presence, given the iconic nature
of many of that year’s hits.
In a year that stretched from “Eres Tu� to “Radar Love,� the rockin’ pop
records of mid-‘70s screaming Top 40 aren’t the songs with 1974’s highest
“Lost Factor�—our calculation of which songs traveled the furthest between
saturation airplay then and negligible airplay today. Even “Seasons in the
Sun� only finishes at No. 36 in our calculations. “The Night Chicago Died,�
another one of the year’s top provocations, is No. 48. The Blue Swede
version of “Hooked on a Feeling� is actually the No. 21 most-played song of
the year’s Billboard Top 100 hits.
The two songs that do have the highest “Lost Factor� of the year are songs
that would undoubtedly be controversial lyrically today, in part because
they were controversial in 1974. “(You’re) Having My Baby� by Paul Anka is
No. 1 with a Lost Factor of 73, higher than any “Lost Factor� number from
the 1980s, although still short of the perfect 100 score for 1960’s “Theme
From A Summer Place.� We haven’t announced rankings for the entire ‘70s
yet, but when we do, Anka’s hit will be the newest song in a top 10
otherwise dominated by 1970-72 titles. Mac Davis’s “One Hell of a Woman,� a
song that drew similar accusations of chauvinism, is second with a 46 score.
Here are the top “lost factor� hits of 1974, based on points for their
standing for the year divided by the number of plays they receive now. In
parenthesis is the “lost factor,� followed by the number of spins the songs
received in the U.S. and Canada according to BDS in the week prior to my
calculations.

Paul Anka, “(You’re) Having My Baby� (lost factor 73, spins for the week 1)
Mac Davis, “One Hell of a Woman� (46, 2)
Jim Stafford, “Spiders and Snakes� (43, 2)
Cher, “Dark Lady� (34, 2)
O’Jays, “Put Your Hands Together� (33, 0)
Helen Reddy, “Leave Me Alone (Ruby Red Dress)� (30, 1)
Ray Stevens, “The Streak� (23, 4)
Mike Oldfield, “Tubular Bells (Theme From ‘The Exorcist)� (22, 0)
Donny & Marie Osmond, “I’m Leaving It (All) Up to You� (20, 0)
Bo Donaldson & Heywoods, “Billy Don’t Be a Hero� (20, 4)
Sister Janet Mead, “The Lord’s Prayer� (15, 0)
Lamont Dozier, “Trying to Hold On to My Woman� (14, 0)
Ringo Starr, “Oh My My� (14, 2)
Marvin Hamlisch, “The Entertainer (Music From The Sting)� (13, 4)
Barbra Streisand, “The Way We Were� (11, 9)

Streisand, like other ‘70s MOR artists, is becoming a familiar presence in
our “Lost Factor� articles. When we looked at the Lost Factor for 1977
songs, “Evergreen� was a rare exception of a megahit now lost to time. It
was the No. 4 song of 1977, but still made our top 15 most lost. But “The
Way We Were� was the No. 1 song of its year.
The rest of the top 15 fits with established themes among songs with high
lost factors: novelties (“Spiders And Snakes,� “The Streak�); teen acts
(Donny & Marie, “Billy Don’t Be a Hero,� the latter of which sort of ticks
the novelty box as well); instrumental movie themes from The Exorcist and
The Sting); female pop/MOR acts (Cher, Helen Reddy, Streisand, although
Lost Factor perennial Olivia Newton-John doesn’t make her first appearance
this year until No. 39).
As is also the case in most of the early ‘70s calculations I’ve done, there
are also a couple of R&B titles among the top 15 “Put Your Hands Together�
and “Tryin’ to Hold on to My Woman� that I don’t regard as in any way
risible. Both were songs that didn’t cross over in every market. Where they
did, neither typically reached power rotation — another distinguishing
factor of many of the songs that are the most lost now. The former also had
the issue of being overshadowed by the O’Jays single that followed, “For
the Love of Money.�
Here are the songs with more than 100 spins for the previous week that now
punch above their weight — getting the most monitored spins at broadcast
radio, compared to their year-end placing for 1974. (Incredibly, “Sweet
Home Alabama,� a fall release, falls between the cracks and does not make
the year-end chart for either 1974 or 1975, joining 1977’s “Brick House�
and 1970’s “I Think I Love You� among the most flagrant omissions.)

Steve Miller Band, “The Joker�
Bachman-Turner Overdrive, “Takin’ Care of Business�
Elton John, “Bennie and the Jets�
Golden Earring, “Radar Love�
Elton John, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road�


Just for fun, I created my own 1974 playlist without many of the most
flagrant provocations (although your mileage may differ). Check out 1974
Without Apologies.

WAMU General Manager JJ Yore Resigns Amidst Staff Revolt; Monna Kashfi
Promoted To Chief Content Officer

Posted: 07 Aug 2020 08:11 AM PDT
https://radioinsight.com/headlines/1...ntent-officer/



Following a staff revolt over how the station handled allegations of
harassment against former reporter Martin Di Caro, American University
Public News/Talk 88.5 WAMU Washington DC General Manager JJ Yore has
resigned.

Employees at the station demanded Yore resign at a meeting last week over
how he and the station failed to do anything about the complaints and
promoted Di Caro to a full-time position despite being warned repeatedly
about sexual harassment. At the staff meeting on July 31, Yore told
employees he intended to stay on my choice, at least for now is to is to
stay is to face you and to try to implement the changes that we need to
make.

WAMU has had other issues in recent months including American University
investigating Senior Managing Editor Zuri Berry over allegations that he’d
created conditions that caused two Black journalists to leave, the
resignation of Jeffrey Katz as News Director but staying on as Senior
Editor, and the departure of Andi McDaniel in May to become President/CEO
of WBEZ Chicago.

Yore joined WAMU in May 2014 after serving as Vice President and Executive
Producer for American Public Medias Marketplace from 1997 to 2013.

Monna Kashfi, who has served as Interim Chief Content Officer since
McDaniels departure, will be named to that position permanently. Kashfi
joined WAMU in December 2018 as Executive Producer of the Kojo Nnamdi Show.
She previously spent the majority of her career and multiple television and
digital positions in Washington including AOL, CGTN America, WYD Media, and
Voice of America.

Today American University and WAMU General Manager JJ Yore announced that
he has decided to leave WAMU. AU also announced measures to enhance the
culture at WAMU 88.5, the local NPR station in the nation’s capital
licensed to the university.

“Today, we are announcing a series of critical steps designed to address
issues in the areas of diversity, equity, inclusion, human resources, and
management, as well as how matters of misconduct are handled at WAMU. These
actions are a combination of immediate and longer-term steps to accelerate
WAMU’s work to enhance culture and workplace,� said Seth Grossman, vice
president, people and external affairs and chief of staff and counselor to
the president. “The changes will provide important support to the WAMU
staff, who we thank for continuing to focus on producing award-winning
journalism that the Washington, D.C., region relies on amid this period of
change.�

Yore will step down as general manager effective today. During his tenure,
Yore increased WAMU’s revenue by more than 70% and membership by 40%. WAMU
used that financial success to increase staff by 50%, including doubling
the number of local journalists. Under his leadership, WAMU also acquired
DCist, the local news site, and quadrupled the station’s digital audience.
During his tenure, WAMU developed and, in January 2017, launched the
national talk show 1A, succeeding the iconic Diane Rehm Show. 1A reaches
more than four million listeners a week on almost 400 stations.

“AU thanks JJ for his years of service to WAMU, and we wish him well as he
pursues his next endeavor,� said Grossman.

AU announced the following additional personnel and administrative changes
at WAMU:

During the next four to six weeks, an interim general manager will be
identified and installed.
The station will add an HR employee relations consultant who has proven
experience in improving organizational culture and creating inclusive
workplaces. The consultant will assess past practices within WAMU and
between WAMU and AU and provide recommendations on new structures.
Monna Kashfi, WAMU’s interim chief content officer, is being named the
permanent chief content officer. Kashfi will oversee the WAMU and DCist
newsrooms and all programs, podcasts, and content-related activities.
The Leadership Team will undergo diversity, equity, inclusion, and
anti-racism training. This training will then be expanded to other managers
and staff.
A task force will be established immediately to review the culture and make
recommendations. It will be chaired by the chief content officer, together
with two other leaders who will be identified in the coming days. The task
force will include staff representatives from across the organization.
Following the conclusion of the task force’s work, a search for a permanent
general manager will be launched.
The new AU assistant vice president for equity and Title IX, scheduled to
start by the beginning of September, will conduct listening sessions with
WAMU staff.
The existing WAMU working group on social media practices will continue its
work and provide recommendations in September.


“We believe these actions will offer support for the entire WAMU team and
provide a foundation for the station’s next chapter,� said Grossman.
