LOL!

[cartman2002]

where did you get that info from?

[620 Soul Train]

Too bad nobody we really know such as Casey Kasem and Rick Dees ever used this chart from this date. Back in 1984 Rick Dees used Cashbox.

Yeah, but this chart was, in fact, used for a countdown show called Countdown America, hosted by John Leader (and back then, it used the Top 40 chart)

I heard of that show back in 1984 when "Panama" debuted in the chart and "I'll Wait" dropped from the countdown by chance. But John Leader was not as popular as Rick Dees and Casey Kasem, at least not in my eyes. I thank you for the info at the same time. It makes sense because Dick Clark took over as the host. Rick Dees and Dick Clark aired their shows simultaneously in 1985 in the Wichita market on Sunday mornings using the same chart.

I love Lady Gaga by Queen. I like "The Kid's American" by Matthew Wilder, and "The Politics Of Dancing" by Re-Flex.
