American Top 40 1986 June 7th

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 1974, all four members of the disbanded Beatles had solo hits in the top 40 at the same time. In this countdown there is a band that "out-Beatles" the Beatles by having four current or former members with solo hits, all while the band itself debuts with its current single.

The first extra is "Modern Woman" by Billy Joel (debuting this week at number 54) from the film "Ruthless People." Also, El DeBarge is at number 18 with his hit, "Who's Johnny" from the film, "Short Circuit." In order to provide a better 1986 experience, I am supporting the seeding for these two movies for at least a month AND to a ratio of 30 (whichever comes last), so you can download and run with a clear conscience. Don’t be impatient though, I turned down the movie upload rates in favor of those who need their American Top 40 fix.

If you would like a copy of either of these, follow one of the links that appears after the countdown list.

Casey tells the tale of the first country single ever to hit number one on the pop chart. It was an anti-smoking song released seventeen years before the anti-smoking bandwagon left ruts in mainstream public consciousness.

The Fabulous Thunderbirds are at number 24 with, "Tuff Enuff." Casey tells how they had to replace their drummer in the middle of a tour, and ended up calling the Royal Canadian Mounted Police!

From the AT40 Book of Records: Casey tells about the youngest performers (two infants each less than a year old ) ever to appear on a top 40 hit, and plays a small part of the song.

Howard Jones is at number 14 with his song, "No One Is To Blame." Casey tells who he was thinking of when he wrote it.

Only the second singer in chart history to have four top 10 hits from her debut solo album has that fourth song in this countdown.

That very last file (segment 99) is a notice that you can re-listen to the latest AT40 weekend broadcasts throughout the following week at the iHeart Radio link that follows. It looks like they are also playing shows from other years (and other times of the year) and they played the year-end countdown for 1986. If you can't get iHeart Radio in your country, there is a subscription service I use called DAR.FM (Digital Audio Recording). For $40 a year, it is not a bad deal. DAR records internet radio, and you play it back when you want, or you can download what you recorded. Everything is in 15 minute segments, and AT40 records at 96KBS, 44 kHz, joint stereo. I have included a sample.
