WOW! I haven't heard "Maria" on the radio for a long time! And when was the last time Casey played "Why" and "Falls Apart"? Plus 3 current songs below the top 20 on this week's show: "Careless Whisper", "Halo" and "Use Somebody"! And that's odd that "Halo" is the 2nd optional extra this week on AT20! And there's a long distance dedication this week! Woo hoo! I'm glad that the LDDs were not over last month!

Only one AT20 show left!

3 bubbling under extras on one show??? Man, that's awful. Things are really going down the drain.

Do you have anything better to do than complain about songs below the top 20 getting an extra spin or two on the show? Honestly, just let it go. I like reading these threads as I don't get a chance to listen to the whole show, but not when I know the first reply is gonna be you moaning about the new songs played.

Not to mention this person is complaining about a show that only has one week to go. Just enjoy the time this show has left, which isn't much.

Does anyone plan on recording next week's show?

[shadster]

^ Yes I am planning on recording it. I'll be in NYC though so I'll hafta set a timer to record it. so keep those fingers an toes crossed. Caseys not in NYC is he? Cept that butchered 1 hr version of AT10?

p.s. Shouldn't this thread be renamed to 6-28-09????????


UPDATE: I did record the last AT20. It'll take me a lil while to transfer it to mp3.

One question: what is Casey going to do on his last countdown?

[Michael1973]

I did notice one tiny mistake on this show. After the Kings of Leon song, Casey said it was "just below the top 10." He must have thought he was doing the AC show!

All I've heard is its going to be 'a show for the history books'. So likely some 'retrospective' of the show's history. Possibly a special survey.

Ok heres the story of what hapened to the LDD's and to answer Jayman's question. About two months ago I emailed the AT20 staff because I saw the LDD dissapearing. This week the AT20 staff actually replaied. According to the staff, they said that they have not recieved many LDD's this year. Somehow I find that hard to believe. However, I can tell you that next weeks shows for AT20/AT10 will be a regular weekly show and also Casey will read one last LDD next week. I do not know whos dedication Casey will read, but yes there will be one last LDD next week. I wish that the dedications would have aired the last 4 weeks instead of them doing extras but at least there will be one more LDD. That's the latest update for AT20 news.

I wrote in an LDD about 4 weeks ago when the news broke to thank Casey, so I'd be really excited if it's mine. I'm so anxious for the show.

That sounds reasonable. There used to be 3 every week. Then it went down to 2 per week. And in the last couple years, it's only been one. As they lose affiliates, they also lose hundreds of listeners. Also, it's reasonable to assume that not all letters will have songs that work (I got told that back in 1990).
