"Now, on with our survey of the forty top hits in the nation. This is American Top 40, I'm Casey Kasem, and the countdown continues."



American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This recording is a rebroadcast from internet radio.

In this countdown:

Casey reads from the AT40 Book of Records (before it's due back at the Countdown library). This week's honor goes to the man who accumulated more consecutive weeks in the top 40 than anyone else in the rock era. This man had a string of 23 hits which kept him on the chart for three-and-a-half years (and that is about how long it was before the library eventually got their book back).

There is a famous musician in this countdown who has been nominated for 35 Grammys, four Oscars, two Emmys, has his first top 40 hit in this countdown, but when he gets angry, he still says, "Well, I never!"

A listener writes in to ask, "Has there ever been a record that hit the top 40, then fell out, then at a later date came back on the chart and hit number one?" Casey says there have been two such yo-yo tricks, and gives the specifics.

Casey gives his Special Report on Motown: the little record company that started with a $700 loan in 1960. By the end of the decade the Detroit based label had put more singles in the number one spot than any of its well established competition (but look, if I started a record company with the talents of Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, the Four Tops, and Marvin Gaye, I wouldn't even need the $700).

Casey answers the question, "What group, other than the Beatles, has been the most successful on the charts?" He says the line-up of this American group was all-female, and what’s more, they worked for Motown!

There is a band in the countdown which once got this review, "They are perverted, outrageous, violent, repulsive, ugly, tasteless, incoherent, a travesty, and that's what's good about them." That review was written by Geoffrey Cannon, then editor of "The Radio Times, "the official organ of the BBC." If I was in charge of any official organ, I would make Harpo Marx look like a blabber-mouth!

Finally, I somehow didn't get the extras this week, but my assistant Amy found out what they were and even put in an "extra" extra. That's all folks!
