American Top 40 1972 August 5th Top 40 Albums

American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988.

This broadcast is one I found on the internet and is not your usual countdown.

With each chart position, Casey reports the single that holds that spot this week, but plays a track from whatever album is in that spot on the album chart (so the song you hear is not by the artist on the singles chart, but the one on the album chart).

For instance, at position number 22 on the singles chart is "Goodbye To Love" by The Carpenters, but Casey plays "Peaceful Easy Feeling" from the the Eagles self-titled album because it holds position number 22 on the album chart.

When position number 19 gets its turn, on the singles chart was "Take It Easy" by The Eagles, but Casey plays a track from the album at number 19 that week, "In Concert" by Janis Joplin (and the track is "Down On Me").

Then, later on you do get to hear The Carpenters "Goodbye To Love" when their album comes up in spot number 6 right after Casey tells you who had the 6th best selling-single that week.

Also, he doesn't play numbers 36, 31, or 8, but this show had so much good music that I had played it more than a few times.

Enjoy!
