History[edit]
American Country Countdown was conceived as a spinoff program from American Top 40, which had premiered in 1970 and showcased the week's most popular singles. The new program was a creation of Casey Kasem and Don Bustany, the same duo behind American Top 40, with Tom Rounds as co-creator and Watermark Inc. distributing.
American Country Countdown launched nationwide on October 6, 1973. Like with its parent series, Billboard provided the chart information. In this case, the Hot Country Singles chart was used. The show now uses the BillboardCountry Airplay chart, which it has used since September 2017 after eight years of using charts compiled by Mediabase.[1] Singer Don Bowman was the host of the three-hour countdown with Bustany producing.
In June 1974, Bustany stepped aside from his duties in order to focus on AT40 and tapped Bob Kingsley, who had been program director at country station KLAC-Los Angeles, to be ACC's producer.[2] It was under Kingsley's watch that the program began to increase in popularity, as more and more stations picked up the countdown.
On May 6, 1978, Kingsley added hosting duties to his producing duties when he became the new host of ACC. Don Bowman had not made any mention that he would be departing the program on the previous show; Kingsley informed the audience that Bowman had left the program to pursue other aspects of his career.[3]
Beginning with the January 11, 1986, broadcast, ACC was expanded to four hours, adding several new features, including an "ACC Archives" feature (similar to one featured on American Top 40 several years earlier, with a chronological playback of No. 1 hits of the 1970s, and later on the 1980s) and an "ACC Calendar," spotlighting a classic country artist, song, important innovation or event in country music.[4]
Kingsley hosted the program until December 2005, with his last show being his annual Christmas special. Like Bowman before him, he never told the audience he would be leaving; in this instance, Kingsley was leaving to join Westwood One to host their new Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40. **********Some of the artists include: Earl Thomas Conley,O'Kanes,Lynn Anderson, Shooters,Michael Johnson,Kathy Mattes, Oak Ridge Boys,Ronnie Mislap,Pake McEntire, Eddy Raven, Glen Campbell,Margo Smith,Schuyler,Knoblock & Bickhardt,Lyle Lovett, Dan Seals,Vince Gill,Hank Willian jr.,Exile,Tammy Wynette,Tom Wopat,Moe Bany,Kenny Rogers,Mel Tillis, Sweethearts of the Rodeo,Wajlon Jennings,Highway 101,Dplly Parton,Linda Ronstadt & Emmy Lou Harris,Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton,K.T.Oslin,Earl Thomas Conley, David Lynn Jones, Lee Greenwood,T.Graham Brown,T.G.Shepperd,Ronnie Mislap,Reba mcEntire,Holly Dunn, Alabama(2 songs), Kicky Van Shelton, Steve Wariner,Bellamy Bros.
