I bet Casey hasn't played "Somebody" by Bryan Adams since the 80s. And it looks like Alanis Morissette won't be hitting the Top 20, which is probably why it got played as an optional.

[shocker]

How does a song get to be an "optional extra" that hasn't even charted in the top 20 yet? I thought those songs were the flashback extras that Casey included between current songs. I didn't get a chance to listen to AT20 today, so I'm wondering how Casey introduced "Underneath".

[radiobrett]

Casey announced it by saying it was a song that "just bubbled under the Top 20"

[BillboardBoy]

It seems to make sense to play "Underneath" now instead of a year from now. By then, it'll be as obsure as "So Pure" and "Unsent." PDs would be asking, "Why is Casey playing this stiff?"
