Not AT40-related but sponsor-related. Greta Van Susteren is joining Newsmax. Just what we need. Watch the radio ads hype her up.

Honestly, what Classic AT40 affiliate (other than maybe WPNC) will want to air this one?!?!? WXHC is playing the 5/23/1998 show right now - www.wxhc.com/at-40-specials/ |

While most sponsors are welcome, I can only wonder what Casey, who described his politics as progressive or somewhere left of it, would have thought of Newsmax’s sponsorship. (Myself, I run for the mute function or take a bathroom break whenever a Newsmax or similar ad appears, or when I have to listen to the countdown on a station that has Fox News segments, on which network Greta Van Susteren long appeared.) |

Honestly, what Classic AT40 affiliate (other than maybe WPNC) will want to air this one?!?!? WXHC is playing the 5/23/1998 show right now - www.wxhc.com/at-40-specials/I would love it if Casey's Top 40 and American Top 40 the 90's would air in syndication .
I was working in radio when Casey left Westwood One and revived American Top 40 back in 1997.
If memory serves he got into a lawsuit with Westwood One over his departure which was eventually resolved and I think that was one of the reasons Casey's Top 40 1989- 1997 was never released for syndication.
After AT 40 was revived in 1997, there were only three years left in the decade and I think that was why AT 40 the 90's was never released for syndication- excluding the Shadow Stevens version which ran from 1989 -1994.
Someone correct me if I am wrong. It has been 25 years memory fades....

Actually it was 1998 when Casey returned to AT40; the final Casey's Top 40 with him hosting was aired February 21, 1998 (there were four more episodes with guest hosts), and on March 28 of that year Casey was back with American Top 40 for AMFM Radio Networks (now Premiere), which he continued until the first weekend of January 2004, at which point Ryan Seacrest took over and has continued with it since.
Casey wanted to resurrect the "American Top 40" name after ownership of it reverted to him and co-creator Don Bustany in 1997 (I think); when his Westwood One contract was up for renewal in early 1998 he raised the issue, WW1 refused, and so he decamped for AMFM. For there to be a workable Casey/AT40 90s series it would probably have to incorporate Casey's Top 40 somehow; they can't just replay 1998-99 and mixing up him and Shadoe probably wouldn't work either, especially as there would be three years missing (the February 1995-March 1998 period when there was CT40 but no AT40.)

That's right and Casey's Top 40 has never appeared in syndication and I THINK Westwood One has something to do with that otherwise yeah the could have combined Casey's Top 40 and AT 40 the 90s for syndication by now. Hence I have to rely on the Back in the day replay countdown on the 90's channel on satellite radio which is only a top 30 countdown. |

And that uses the Billboard Hot 100, which only replicates AT40 until November 1991, when it changed methodology and it changed charts. Personally, I usually record that (and the PopK countdown) and create my own versions of AT40/CT40 chart retrospectives, by deleting songs that didn't make the Radio & Records/Mediabase charts that the countdowns of the time used, and playing songs that made them but not the Hot 100 countdowns off YouTube. |

I just heard a Newsmax ad promoting Greta Van Susteren's upcoming show so it wouldn't surprise me if the ads play on AT40 this weekend.

Interestingly WPNC is playing "The Breakup Song" in Hour #2 when it wasn't listed in the cue sheet. Anybody else getting this?

Confirmed while listening to WPAC. |

Now to conclude the two-parter with this weekend's '70s shows. The "A" show for this week is from 6/12/1971. Here is an edited repost: Four songs debuted this week: "Don't Pull Your Love" - Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds (#30) "Never Can Say Goodbye" - Isaac Hayes (#33) "Albert Flasher" - Guess Who (#34) "Puppet Man" - Tom Jones (#37) Four songs fell off this week: "Stay Awhile" - The Bells (#24) "Timothy" - The Buoys (#32) "I Love You For All Seasons" - The Fuzz (#33) "I Don't Blame You At All" - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles (#38) Biggest Mover (tie): "Indian Reservation" - The Raiders (#25 to #11) "Funky Nassau" - The Beginning of the End (#40 to #26) Biggest Dropper (another tie): "Put Your Hand In The Hand" - Ocean (#12 to #24) "(For God's Sake) Give More Power To The People" - Chi-Lites (#26 to #38) Original extras: "Paperback Writer" - The Beatles "Moody River" - Pat Boone "The Wayward Wind" - Gogi Grant Previously, in 2010 and 2013, "The Wayward Wind" was kept in the show while the two other songs were played as optional extras.

Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "Get Back" - The Beatles with Billy Preston Hour #2: "Moody River" - Pat Boone (original At40 extra) Hour #3: "The Wayward Wind" - Gogi Grant (original AT40 extra) Of note: For whatever reason, Premiere thought one Beatles extra for the show wasn't enough and added "Get Back", replacing Jean Knight's "Mr. Big Stuff" from the 2010 and 2013 versions. The "B" show this week is from 6/16/1979. Here is my repost from 2013: Five songs debuted this week: "Days Gone Down" - Gerry Rafferty (#30) "Heart Of The Night" - Poco (#31) "I Was Made For Lovin' You" - Kiss (#35) "Do It Or Die" - Atlanta Rhythm Section (#39) "Don't Ever Wanna' Lose You" - New England (#40) Four songs fell out of the Top 40 this week: "Love Is The Answer" - England Dan & John Ford Coley (#26) "If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right)" - Barbara Mandrell (#31) "It Must Be Love" - Alton McClain & Destiny (#32) "Little Bit Of Soap" - Nigel Olsson (#34) "Good Timin'" - The Beach Boys (#40) Biggest Mover: "Bad Girls" - Donna Summer (#28 to #11) Biggest Dropper: "Deeper Than The Night" - Olivia Newton-John (#11 to #29) Original extras: None Long Distance Dedications: "I Will Still Love You" - Stonebolt "We Are The Champions" - Queen Archive extras "Sundown" - Gordon Lightfoot "Rock The Boat" - The Hues Corporation "Rock Your Baby" - George McCrae The Gordon Lightfoot and Hues Corporation extras will be played in the show (the former depending if your station airs all four hours of course).

Actually it was 1998 when Casey returned to AT40; the final Casey's Top 40 with him hosting was aired February 21, 1998 (there were four more episodes with guest hosts), and on March 28 of that year Casey was back with American Top 40 for AMFM Radio Networks (now Premiere), which he continued until the first weekend of January 2004, at which point Ryan Seacrest took over and has continued with it since. Casey wanted to resurrect the "American Top 40" name after ownership of it reverted to him and co-creator Don Bustany in 1997 (I think); when his Westwood One contract was up for renewal in early 1998 he raised the issue, WW1 refused, and so he decamped for AMFM. For there to be a workable Casey/AT40 90s series it would probably have to incorporate Casey's Top 40 somehow; they can't just replay 1998-99 and mixing up him and Shadoe probably wouldn't work either, especially as there would be three years missing (the February 1995-March 1998 period when there was CT40 but no AT40.) That's right and Casey's Top 40 has never appeared in syndication and I THINK Westwood One has something to do with that otherwise yeah the could have combined Casey's Top 40 and AT 40 the 90s for syndication by now. Hence I have to rely on the Back in the day replay countdown on the 90's channel on satellite radio which is only a top 30 countdown. You're right. Cumulus Media, as the parent of Westwood One, still owns both the Shadoe and CT40 libraries. But because Premiere owns the AT40 trademarks and format, they would have to license the other shows from Cumulus. There aren't even faint hints of that happening. The closest the two syndicators came to working with each other was when Cumulus acquired Citadel, and with it the ABC Radio legacy (from which Clear Channel, pre-IHeart, had already plucked Casey), and for a few years co-syndicated rightwing talker Sean Hannity with Premiere. When Cumulus acquired Dial Global and with it, Westwood One, they left the Hannity deal. dL |

While now listening to the 1985 show, what strikes me is just how incorrect Casey was on the factoid ages of these singers (granted, he was probably just relaying what he was fed by the info releases from the record labels).
But during this show, he said Billy Ocean is 33 years old - which would make him 70 now. Wikipedia says Billy Ocean is currently 72 years old.
He also said Harold Faltermeyer is 31 years old - which would make him 68 now. Wikipedia says Harold Faltermeyer is currently 69 years old. (And his birthday is in October...so it's not like this just happened to be an overlap of a week when the show aired).

Here is a previous repost: Three songs debuted this week: "The Colour Of Love" - Billy Ocean (#38) "Just Got Paid" - Johnny Kemp (#39) "1-2-3" - Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine (#40) Three songs fell off this week: "Two Occasions" - The Deele (#37) "Wait" - White Lion (#38) "I Don't Want To Live Without You" - Foreigner (#39) Biggest Mover: "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - Def Leppard (#18 to #10) Biggest Dropper: "Anything For You" - Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine (#23 to #36) Original extras: None Long Distance Dedications: "Endless Love" - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" - Chicago (#41) Hour #2: "Do You Love Me" - The Contours (#45) Hour #3: "I Should Be So Lucky"- Kylie Minogue (#42) Hour #4: "Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman (#61) The '70s preview is coming soon. |

Now to conclude the weekend preview with this weekend's '70s shows. The "A" show for this weekend is from 6/14/1975. Here is an edited repost: Five songs debuted this week: "Swearin' To God" - Frankie Valli (#34) "Why Can't We Be Friends?" - War (#36) "I'm Not In Love" - 10cc (#38) "One Of These Nights" - The Eagles (#39) "Midnight Blue" - Melissa Manchester (#40) Five songs fell out of the Top 40 this week: "Only Yesterday" - The Carpenters (#16) "I Don't Like To Sleep Alone" - Paul Anka with Odia Coates (#22) "Jackie Blue" - Ozark Mountain Daredevils (#28) "Shoeshine Boy" - Eddie Kendricks (#30) "Good Lovin' Gone Bad" - Bad Company (#36) Biggest Mover: "Listen To What The Man Said" - Paul McCartney & Wings (#35 to #22) Biggest Dropper: "How Long" - Ace (#3 to #18) Original extras: None Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "Rhinestone Cowboy" - Glen Campbell (#53) Hour #2: Casey and Larry Morgan talk about SSgt. Barry Sadler Hour #3: "Jive Talkin'" - The Bee Gees (#65) Of note: Okay. Premiere is being weird again. Replacing Olivia Newton-John's "Please Mr. Please" (the Hour #2 op extra in its' last playing in 2014 - the same weekend Casey died BTW) with a talk-piece about SSgt. Barry Sadler. This is just as bad as airing those Newsmax ads. The "B" show for this weekend is from 6/18/1977. If that show is familiar to you, it's because Premiere aired it last year (once again as the "B" show). Here is my repost from last year. Three songs debuted this week: "Peace Of Mind" - Boston (#38) "It's Sad To Belong" - England Dan & John Ford Coley (#39) "All You Get From Love Is A Love Song" - The Carpenters (#40) Three songs fell off this week: "Hello Stranger" - Yvonne Elliman (#29) "Southern Nights" - Glen Campbell (#32) "Slow Down" - John Miles (#34) Biggest Mover: "I'm In You" - Peter Frampton (#31 to #25) Biggest Dropper: "Couldn't Get It Right" - Climax Blues Band (#10 to #24) Original extras: None Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "You Made Me Believe In Magic" - Bay City Rollers (#42) Hour #2: "Telephone Line" - Electric Light Orchestra (#65) Hour #3: "Best Of My Love" - The Emotions (#70) Of note: Although the scheduled optional extras were the same as last year, it's worth noting Premiere wound up swapping out "Best Of My Love" with B.J. Thomas' "Don't Worry Baby" due to his then-recent death. Barring any surprise deaths, we should get "Best Of My Love" this time. |

BTW Billboard historian Joel Whitburn passed away at age 82. Casey Kasem and Don Bustany pretty much owe their chart research to Whitburn (he began publishing chart books in 1970 the same year AT40 began airing).

I think Billboard Magazine's website should honor him by posting their chart info for a limited time or Record Research could sell his chart books at a lower price. |

Of note: Okay. Premiere is being weird again. Replacing Olivia Newton-John's "Please Mr. Please" (the Hour #2 op extra in its' last playing in 2014 - the same weekend Casey died BTW) with a talk-piece about SSgt. Barry Sadler. This is just as bad as airing those Newsmax ads. Sadler passed in November 1989, during the "Casey's Top 40" era. This must have been a composite of Casey-from-back-in-the-day and Larry monologues. dL |

This weekend, there is one '80s show and two '70s shows which means once again the weekend preview will be a two-parter. I'll start with the '80s first. "AT40: The '80s" this week presents 6/25/1988. Here is a previous repost: Three songs debuted this week: "The Colour Of Love" - Billy Ocean (#38) "Just Got Paid" - Johnny Kemp (#39) "1-2-3" - Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine (#40) Three songs fell off this week: "Two Occasions" - The Deele (#37) "Wait" - White Lion (#38) "I Don't Want To Live Without You" - Foreigner (#39) Biggest Mover: "Pour Some Sugar On Me" - Def Leppard (#18 to #10) Biggest Dropper: "Anything For You" - Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine (#23 to #36) Original extras: None Long Distance Dedications: "Endless Love" - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "I Don't Wanna Live Without Your Love" - Chicago (#41) Hour #2: "Do You Love Me" - The Contours (#45) Hour #3: "I Should Be So Lucky"- Kylie Minogue (#42) Hour #4: "Fast Car" - Tracy Chapman (#61) The '70s preview is coming soon. Update: Premiere has replaced "Do You Love Me" as the Hour #2 optional extra with Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" to honor the recent death of band member Alec John Such. That's the third week in a row Premiere has altered the '80s optional extra lineup for a death (the drummer from Yes two weeks ago for the 1984 "B" show and Larry Morgan altering the intro and outro for Depeche Mode's Andy Fletcher for "People Are People" last week). |

My copy of the original 1975 show includes a whatever-happened-to segment about Sadler. Since he died in '89, Premiere replaced it with an update. This is just as bad as airing those Newsmax ads. Aww, c'mon now. Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. (Or, save all of it for your favorite politics board.) |

This weekend, there is one '80s show and two '70s shows so once again the weekend preview will be a two-parter. We'll start with the one '80s show first. "AT40: The '80s" this week presents 6/30/1984. Here is my repost from 2014: Five songs debuted this week: "Ghostbusters" - Ray Parker Jr. (#29) "State Of Shock" - The Jacksons (#30; Hot 100 Debut) "Romancing The Stone" - Eddy Grant (#36) "If Ever You're In My Arms Again" - Peabo Bryson (#37) "Panama" - Van Halen (#39) Five songs fell out of the Top 40 this week: "Breakdance" - Irene Cara (#17) "Run, Runaway" - Slade (#27) "I'll Wait" - Van Halen (#32) "What Is Love" - Howard Jones (#33) "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" - Phil Collins (#34) Biggest Mover (three-way tie): "Legs" - ZZ Top (#19 to #13) "Dance Hall Days" - Wang Chung (#25 to #19) "Sad Songs (Say So Much)" - Elton John (#26 to #20) Biggest Dropper: "Hello" - Lionel Richie (#18 to #40) Original extras: None Long Distance Dedications: "Beth" - KISS "(You're) Having My Baby" - Paul Anka with Odia Coates Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "Round And Round" - Ratt (#56) Hour #2: "The Warrior" - Scandal featuring Patti Smyth (#77; debuted) Hour #3: "Sexy Girl" - Glenn Frey (#63) Hour #4: "Stuck On You" - Lionel Richie (#49) The '70s preview is coming up. |

Now to preview the two '70s shows for this weekend. The "A" show is from 6/30/1973. Here is an edited repost: Four songs debuted this week. Make that three new songs and one old song debut: "Monster Mash" - Bobby (Boris) Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers (#31) "Misdemeanor" - Foster Sylvers (#32) "I'll Always Love My Mama" - The Intruders (#39) "Time To Get Down" - The O'Jays (#40) Four songs fell out of the Top 40 this week: "Leaving Me" - The Independents (#26) "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" - Stevie Wonder (#32) "Stuck In The Middle With You" - Stealers Wheel (#35) "Little Willy" - The Sweet (#37) Biggest Mover: "Doin' It To Death" - Fred Wesley & The JB's (#40 to #28) Biggest Dropper: "Hocus Pocus" - Focus (#19 to #37) Original extras: None Premiere optional extras Hour #1: "Why Me" - Kris Kristofferson (#50) Hour #2: "Tequila Sunrise" - The Eagles (#82) Hour #3: "Hummingbird" - Seals & Crofts (NR) Of note: Premiere has replaced Maureen McGovern's "The Morning After" - an optional extra for its' 2013 and 2017 airings - with "Hummingbird" due to the recent death of Jim Seals. Interestingly enough, the last time 6/30/1973 aired Premiere replaced one of the op extras due to Gregg Allman's death but that time it was "Why Me" that got replaced. At least this time we have advanced notice of one of the extras getting swapped out due to a death unlike recent '80s shows the last few weeks. The "B" show for this week is from 6/24/1978. Here is a previous repost. Six songs debuted this week: "Thank God It's Friday" - Love & Kisses (#34) "Runaway" - Jefferson Starship (#35) "It's The Same Old Song" - KC & The Sunshine Band (#36) "Stone Blue" - Foghat (#37) "Dance Across The Floor" - Jimmy Bo Horne (#38) "If Ever I See You Again" - Roberta Flack (#40) Six songs fell out of the Top 40 this week: "Baby Hold On" - Eddie Money (#26) "The Closer I Get To You" - Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway (#27) "Cheeseburger In Paradise" - Jimmy Buffett (#32) "Disco Inferno" - The Trammps (#35) "This Time I'm In It For Love" - Player (#36) "Everybody Dance" - Chic (#38) Biggest Mover: "Grease" - Frankie Valli (#39 to #31) Biggest Dropper (tie): "On Broadway" - George Benson (#8 to #21) "Deacon Blues" - Steely Dan (#19 to #32) Original extras: None Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "Two Tickets To Paradise" - Eddie Money (#83; debuted) Hour #2: "Macho Man" - The Village People (#86; debuted) Hour #3: "Hot Blooded" - Foreigner (NR) |

BTW I just realized Premiere played "Hummingbird" to honor the aforementioned Jim Seals even with Seals & Crofts already represented on the 6/30/1973 chart with "Diamond Girl". Didn't notice that.

BTW Premiere is now running the Newsmax ads promoting Greta Van Susteren.
Just what I needed after yesterday's Supreme Court news *sarcasm*
