For anyone who may not know, Matt Wilson was a longtime AT40 staffer during the Casey and Shadoe eras. Perhaps his greatest claim to fame came in 1978 when he found the letter addressed to Casey that would become the very first Long Distance Dedication. The LDD, quickly, became one of the show's signature features.

Reportedly the replays of Casey's old shows this weekend will be dedicated to Matt, with announcer Larry Morgan saluting him in the credits.

While on the subject of death, the Lil' Peep song debuting makes me wonder when the last time we had a posthumous AT40 hit from a deceased lead (not featured) artist? The last one I can think of was Michael Jackson's "Love Never Felt So Good" in 2014, but there may have been at least one since. Even rarer is one from someone like Lil' Peep who never charted when alive.

I'm guessing that last lead artist was Selena in late 1995-early 1996 with "Dreaming Of You."

Featured: Michael Jackson on Drake's "Don't Matter To Me" (2018-19)
Featured: Static Major on Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" (2008)
Featured: Natasja on Enur's "Calabria 2008" (2008-09)

Uncredited: Etta James on Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" (2011-12)
Uncredited: Clarence Clemmons on Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory" (2011)

Simone Battle of G.R.L. committed suicide while "Ugly Heart" was either a Breakout or on the chart in Sept. 2014

The Notorious B.I.G. never charted during his life. He first made the top 40, posthumously, as a lead artist in 1997 with "Mo Money Mo Problems".

Bob Kingsley mentioned Matt's passing on this week's Country Top 40.

I’m really suprised that Ryan Seacrest hasn’t mentioned that Eastside by Benny Blanco featuring Halsey and Khalid took the longest 28 weeks to get to the top on at40 history. Last week’s excuse was because he mentioned that Halsey replaced herself from Without You to Eastside. This feat was definately noteworthy. At this point Ryan Seacrest might as well mention it on the hopefully Top 100 of 2019 which is wishful thinking ☹️

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

Ryan and the AT40 people doesn't actually care about the charts.

[kani]

Did Ryan Seacrest mentions about passing of Matt Wilson on the air of AT40? In all AT40 retros this weekend at the end of the show, Larry Morgan mentions the passing of Matt Wilson

Ryan does mention this chart record in this week's show.

I don't think he mentioned Don Bustany's passing last year so I doubt Matt would get a similar mention.

OTOH I don't think Premiere gave a special tribute to Don on their Casey shows last year either.
