How can a song that's headed for the top 20 (Shinedown's "Second Chance") gets played one week prior to debuting? That makes no sense!!!! >:( >:( >:( He should let every song that debuts in the top 20 not get played weeks prior to debuting!!!!

I thought What Hurts The Most was this week's LDD? And I have a better question, where the heck is Casey? Only once in the history of Casey's shows has there been a guest host twice in a row. It happened back in 1998 when Casey left Westwood One for AMFM now premere Radio Networks. David Perry filled in 2 weeks in a row. I just think its strange that Mike fills in 2 weeks in a row. Mike has been filling in it seems every 4-5 weeks. The only thing I can think of is Casey is quitting and the staff is getting us used to Mike as a host. I mean I doubt Casey is sick, he has done the show sick before. So where the hell is Casey Kasem? :'( If Mike is hosting for a third week neet week then we know something is up lol.

Three times Casey was absent from the original AT40 for two straight weeks (1/5 and 1/12/1985; 7/11 and 7/18/1987 and 1/9 and 1/16/1988). Charlie Van Dyke filled in for Casey in all these occurrences.

Make that four times. Back in 2001 or 2002, Ed McMann filled in two weeks in a row. When Casey came back, he thanked Ed for filling in for him while he was under the weather.

Actually, I like that idea. Rick Dees, Shadoe Stevens, Ryan Seacrest and Dick Clark all did/are doing that. I'd much rather hear a new song than some old played-to-death recurrent.

Thanks. I also recall listening to the 1/23/1988 show on Premiere a few months back, Casey also mentioned he had been sick in the open when thanking Van Dyke for filling in.

Casey returns for the May 9/10 show. He makes no mention of his two week absence during the show opening.
