In the almost fifteen years sirius xm has aired American top 40 Is this the first time they aired an episode with a guest host? (Let's pretend Wheel of Casey doesn't count) According to LVK over on the AT40 forum, there was at least one other show that XM aired back in 2007 back when they aired 80s AT40. They played May 26th '84, hosted by Charlie Van Dyke. Anyway, here's this week’s American Top 40, featuring guest host Larry McKay, from September 2nd, 1978: *the chart positions for 37, 35 & 30 were mixed up somehow, so I’ve listed them in the order they were played with their proper movements. 40 DE CRYSTAL GAYLE - TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP 39 DE THE MOODY BLUES - STEPPIN’ IN A SLIDE ZONE38 DE AEROSMITH - COME TOGETHER 35 37 CHERYL LADD - THINK IT OVER 36 38 GERRY RAFFERTY - RIGHT DOWN THE LINE 30 39 BARBRA STREISAND - LOVE THEME FROM “EYES OF LAURA MARS” (PRISONER) 34 35 FOXY - GET OFF 33 34 THE KINKS - A ROCK ’N’ ROLL FANTASY 32 32 THE CARS - JUST WHAT I NEEDED 31 33 ROBIN GIBB - OH! DARLING 37 25 RITA COOLIDGE - YOU29 31 KENNY LOGGINS - WHENEVER I CALL YOU “FRIEND” 28 29 TEDDY PENDERGRASS - CLOSE THE DOOR 27 28 ANNE MURRAY - YOU NEEDED ME 26 27 BOB SEGER & The Silver Bullet Band - HOLLYWOOD NIGHTS 25 26 VILLAGE PEOPLE - MACHO MAN24 14 BARRY MANILOW - COPACABANA (At the Copa) 23 24 EDDIE MONEY - TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE 22 23 LITTLE RIVER BAND - REMINISCING 21 22 QUINCY JONES - STUFF LIKE THAT20 10 DONNA SUMMER - LAST DANCE 19 36 BOSTON - DON’T LOOK BACK18 20 RICK JAMES - YOU AND I 17 17 TOBY BEAU - MY ANGEL BABY 16 19 JOHN PAUL YOUNG - LOVE IS IN THE AIR 15 21 JOHN TRAVOLTA, OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN & CAST - SUMMER NIGHTS 14 15 CHRIS REA - FOOL (IF YOU THINK IT’S OVER) 13 16 NICK GILDER - HOT CHILD IN THE CITY 12 06 deleted CRUISE - LOVE WILL FIND A WAY 11 13 EARTH, WIND & FIRE - GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE 10 12 Evelyn “CHAMPAGNE” King - SHAME 09 08 WALTER EGAN - MAGNET AND STEEL 08 09 ANDY GIBB - AN EVERLASTING LOVE 07 11 EXILE - KISS YOU ALL OVER 06 03 THE ROLLING STONES - MISS YOU 05 07 OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN - HOPELESSLY DEVOTED TO YOU 04 05 FOREIGNER - HOT BLOODED 03 04 A TASTE OF HONEY - BOOGIE OOGIE OOGIE 02 02 COMMODORES - THREE TIMES A LADY 01 01 FRANKIE VALLI - GREASEAh yes the good ole' days when XM aired Casey instead of their own homemade error filled 80s countdown.

Before looking at "8/31/84" let's close the book on 1987
1. Alan peaked Danny Wilson at #6; really #23 2. Mark said High Life was the 5th single, really 4th from Winwood's countdown album
Now on to this week:
1. Mark said Drive '55 was Sammy's biggest solo record... really his 3rd highest charter. 2. Mark said Frey's countdown album contained his biggest hits like Smugglers Blues? The Heat Is On, You Belong To the City?? Neither were on Allnighter. 3. Alan said Missing You would reach #1 in a week or two... it got there three panels later on 9/22. Then he said Tina's Together was from 1983. It charted in this same 1984 countdown year. 4. These flubs are a Hard Habit To Break. Alan said Chicago's countdown song was Cetera and 'Will" Champlin. Then he said it was nominated for an Oscar? Could he have been thinking about Stevie's just played countdown song? Or the one coming up by RPJ??

Error Hunter was out for this "8/22/80" show, did it mean fewer blunders?
1. Mark said Stand By Me was Mickey Gilley's 8th really 9th country #1 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina ^ Bob Seger nine, really 26-37. Then she raised All Out Of Love nineteen... really 8-21 3. In the outro for JoJo Mark said they were counting down 1988? Or is it 1989, as that's the version of Into The Night Casey lite played 4. Mark placed Arthur's Theme as a track on Christopher Cross debut album.... 5. In her weekly content screw up Nina said former Mac'er Billy Burnette is nephew to countdown Rocky.... they are cousins.

This good news is they actually played Chicago this time!
1. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said the guys had a couple from Ooh Yeah! But H&O would connect on three top 40s. Casey lite also referred to non top 40 If You Let Me Stay as a biggie for TTD but #9 Love Will Save the Day as a minor hit for Whitney?? 2. Mark said Colour of Luvvv was the 3rd single from Ocean's album, really 2nd from Tear Down These Walls 3. Mark held Sweet Child at #13, really ^ 13-18 4. Alan said their countdown song was the 7th top 40 for Gloria Estefan and MSS. It was actually the 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9th 5. Mark said Make Me Lose Control was one of Carmen's seven top tenners. Eric had three top tenners. The countdown song, Hungry Eyes and All By Myself (four if you include Raspberries Go All The Way)

No Mark Goofman= fewer talk breaks= less mistakes. Maybe Error Hunter will take off next?
1. Nina said LL & CJ w/FF's countdown song was released in 1984?? That was an awful slow climb being 'Wonder just entered the 40 the prior panel 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan including Long and Winding Road from Suddenly... it never reached the Hot 100 for Ocean 3. Alan claimed State of the Heart was released by Eric McCusker... not quite he was the writer of the Mondo Rock (Eric was a group member) release

But wait there's more!
5. Alan said Terrance Trent D'Arbys first and second hits were Wishing Well and If You Let Me Stay, but flip those. 6. Mark said Breathe had several prior singles either not or barely charting... but 'Heaven was their first Hot 100 entry?
As of Sat AM, they are still playing Foreigner at #13

Lol they played foreigner instead of Chicago ..Will anyone notice? It's been a rough night so far. 1. Maybe Nina is looking at the 7/29/88 chart? She dropped Poison nine really 36-25, she ^ Perfect World six, really 28-36, and she dropped Paradise seven really 24-16 2. Alan said Deborah Gibson was @ #1 a couple weeks back. He must of lost track of time because it was the 6/25 panel. Then he said Hank Ballard's Twist was 1958, it was the flip of Teardrops On Your Letter charting Mar 59 3. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said countdown Just Got Paid was the only one for Johnny Kemp ignoring his top 40 Birthday Suit. 4. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Reg was Elt's 21st album; that would be 21 At 33. Then she said I Don't Wanna was his biggest of the decade, but that was really 'Friends with Dionne, Gladys and Stevie

No Nina Blunderwood=fewer talk breaks= far fewer flubs:
1. Display lists Boy George countdown song as I'll Tumble For Ya 2. Mark said countdown Baby Jane was Rockin' Rod's biggest since 'Sexy in 1978?! 3. I wish these flubs would Stop as Alan said Supremes hit was in 1966, but it reached #1 in Mar '65. Then in their ever changing definition of a hit, he didn't mention Souls when running 'em off from Rick's 'Oz.

Onto the '7/14/89' show
1. Casey lite played the 89 rerecord of Into The Night not the rereleased hit version. The display lists 1980 2. Alan said Hey Baby was Summer's 2nd biggest behind signature 'Girl. I Wish he'd check the charts and see that peaked at #20 vs #18 for the countdown song. 3. It's 24/7 flubs. Mark said Dino's countdown I Like it was the 3rd single, really 2nd. 4. Alan's intro was misplaced, he was talking about #4 Toy Soldiers when they hadn't played #5 Milli Vanilli yet

you would think with so much info on the internet they would do better research for each episode. That's the problem they rely on Wiki which is rarely correct. Or they misread what is in Wiki. They need to invest a few bucks in some Whitburn books.

There's lots more!
5. Alan debuted Sheena w/Modern Girl, of course that was when she rode the Morning Train to #1 6. OMG, Mark called 'Hero artist Joey Scarborough. At least he got the 6/13 and 8/15 chart dates correct even after referring to this week as 7/10 7. Another weird non hit version this time Jessie's Girl 8. Mark said Air Supply was a duo but as Casey told us on the real thing this week, that didn't happen until Just As I Am.

It's been another rough 81 start for Copycat Casey:
1. Right outta the gate they played a weird version of Breakup Song not the hit. Then Mark Missed Again saying countdown In The Air Tonight was Collins first single. 2. Alan peaked Beauregard Duke at #15, really #14 for Now Or Never 3. In her weekly chart screw up Nina ^ Stroke five, really 28-34. Then Mark topped Sweet Baby off at #6, really #19 4. All these flubs are giving me a Seven Year Ache; Alan said Cash had ten country 1s, really eleven

Nina said In Too Deep was the 2nd single off Invisible Touch. Of course it was actually the 5th and final single in the U.S. (2nd in the UK) 2. Alan said there were 2 more 'Cop songs to come after Michael's 'Sex, only one as another had already been played. 3. Fudge! In her weekly content screw up Nina said Vanilla's Hangin' reached #6 in '66, really 1968. Then in her weekly chart screw up she dropped Always six really 12-5 4. Alan said Bruce Hornsby broke thru with The Way It Is then 'Kissed #14 with his countdown song. Of course he stood in the Mandolin Rain between those two.

1. It was a tug-o-war as Alan correctly ID'd the chart date as 6/23/84 but the other VJs said it was June 22nd. 2. Mark said I Can Dream was the first movie song on the countdown.... they had already spun Against All Odds and Footloose entries. 3. Alan said Corey's Sunglasses was his biggest... I will Never Surrender until these flubs end! 4. Mark said Van Stephenson started his career as a songwriter with a string of hits for among others.... Restless Heart. Those actually came well after countdown Delilah.

1.How do FM radio stations decide on what songs to play, now that 98% of them, no longer have a request line number for people to request songs they want to hear? 2.Do record labels have to pay each radio station to get them to play a song? 3.Do the program & music director of each station get to pick and choose which songs they want to play? 4. If the Program, Music Director or both just hate a song and decide to under play a song, or not play it at all, does that mean the whole city is $ucked, if people (in the city) want to hear that song & do like it? I am sure in each city, there are songs that have gone top 10 or 20 on the music radio charts & the radio station act like the song does not exist at all. 5. How do radio stations know what songs are doing well & which ones are not? They can't get any feedback from people in the city or town because they have no request lines to get feedback from? I can't find anything on these questions on Google, Yahoo or any other place online. Another thing in the era of corporate radio, the local program/ music director might have limited leeway in what they can play. Most of the playlist is decided by a honcho in an office 1000 miles away.

Last night I listened to WSMG broadcast of 6/23/1979. They covered the 4 hour show in 3 hours and 39 minutes. The show itself was 3 hours and 20 minutes. They really cut out the commercials. Just 19 minutes of station ids and ads. I believe Premiere offers the 1st hour commercial free as an incentive for affiliates to air all 4hrs. That's why the first hr on KOKZ always has so much filler. I'd rather the show end a little early.

That's a new one! This week's Casey lite starting with last week's close.
1. Alan said Never Been To Me was a 1976 rerelease. Charlene first charted 9/77. 2. Alan said Making Love was the biggest hit for Burt B and Carole BS?? Huh? Arthur's Theme? Dionne's Friends w/ Elt, Gladys and Stevie?? On My Own and Heartlight? 3. In her weekly content screw up Nina said they were counting down 1987 4. After Mark called him John Mellencamp, still billed in 1982 as John Cougar, he said Africa was the second IV single. Really 3rd after countdown Rosanna and Make Believe.
At least they played the 45 version of Do I Do!

Nina botched the intro to nothing at all by Heart saying it was the band's 9th top 10 but in actuality it was their 6th. They would end up with 9 total. She also made it sound like they only had 1 #1 Yep and there were others: 2. Mark said Jefferson Starship turned down Danger Zone.. of course by the time of Top Gun, they were billed as just Starship. Then he placed 'Rock at #22, really #23 for Bob 3. Mark said Is It Love was from a future #1 album.... Real World had gotten there in March and was headed the other way for Mr x 2. Then he said the song would claw it's way to #8, again been there done that, as it was headed off the chart. 4. Nina swapped Soul chart positions of George Benson's and Whitney's Greatest Love. Then in her weekly chart screw up she put Madonna at #3, really #2 5. Mark 'Crushed Jets peaking them at #4 when they really flew to three

But wait there's more!
7. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said New York New York was one of Frank's biggest. While it is well remembered, it's not even on the same page with all of Blue Eyes biggies. Then Mark said In the Pocket was one of Sedaka's best remembered. Just the opposite, out of print for decades it is one of his most obscure. I think it only recently became available digitally. 8. Alan started the intro to Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer by saying it was Kenny Loggins

Here's '6/6/80'
1. In her weekly content screw up Nina said the countdown year was when Sally became an astronaut. But we didn't actually Ride Sally Ride into space until 1983. 2. I Can't Help multiple display errors, omitting ONJ, Twilight Tone, but adding Jim when We Were Meant To Be Lovers was billed as just Photoglo 3. Mark peaked Benatar at #30 but she really Lived at #27 4. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Whispers had four, but there were only 2 Hot 100 entries. 5. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped Dr Hooker nine, really 16-5 6. Alan peaked Elt & Kiki at #3, but Don't Go Breaking My Heart was Elt's biggest hit until his 1997 Candle.
