Hopefully, we can hear the year ends for 1988 and 1989 at some point in the future. I guess if Premiere is hesitant to broadcast Shadoe, they could redo the 1988 year end so it could sound like it was hosted by Casey (using some of the earlier 1988 content). There is a Casey's Top 40 year end for 1989 (only a Top 40) which they could use instead of Shadoe's Top 100 of 1989.

No matter how much they make the 1988 year end countdown sound like it was hosted like Casey, he is still Shadoe. The 1988 year-end countdown is out of the running, so don't count on hearing it at all.
Casey's Top 40, along with its year-end countdowns, are probably out of the running too - possibly due to a vast majority of the run being lost forever.

As I understand it, most, if not all, Casey's Top 40s are in fact intact and mastered. The original masters may have been destroyed but remastered copies do exist. There may be legal, distributional, etc. issues preventing CT40 from being reaired, but it's not because playable copies of the shows themselves don't exist. As for the suggestion of redoing the 1988 countdown "so it sounds like Casey", unless Premiere can find a perfect Casey Kasem impersonator and obtain Casey's permission, how can that be done when some of the included songs didn't hit the chart until after he left?

Yeah 1988 is not gonna happen but it makes for an interesting trivia question and answer....what is the only year in Casey's 39 year countdown career in which he did not host a year end countdown.

A perfect Casey Kasem impersonator? Now that's one voice even pros, let alone, anybody can't mimic perfectly. Even Frank Caliendo can't do it and he's one of the best that I have ever heard.

Yes--and it would be interesting to take a count of how many songs from Aug. 1988 - Jan. 1989 that never got announced by Casey on any program. Sure, there were a handful of songs during his original AT40 run that never got announced because they spent only one week (maybe two) in the 40, and it was during a guest hosted week. But there are how many songs during that 5-1/2 month stretch that had a significant run on the Top 40, and which Casey never introduced in any form.

From what I understand, the year-end shows for Premiere's 70s and 80s stations are exactly 10 years apart. Perhaps that will refine the predictions a little bit.

I think it should. Those are the only years 10 apart that have not been played. But to think that would mean they played 1987 but 4 times without playing the year end show while playing 86 7 times is a major disappointment IMO. Likewise, to think they would play 1970 just twice which prorates to 4 just like 87 is equally disappointing. BTW, 1973 actually makes a lot of sense the omitting of 1970 notwithstanding. The last show from 1973 was originaly supposed to be 9/22/73 until they flipped it with a 74 show. So to play a year for the last time in Sept. and then play the year end show from that year mirrors what happened last year with 1985.

Original end year of 1973 is a 40 song show, Premiere dont need to edit any show as they did last year with 1974.

1977 and 1987 could be done, though if they did it would be preferable to play the entire top 100 of 1977, as half has already been played by Premiere.
But 1973 and 1983 would be the only pairing of shows 10 years apart of which they have not previously aired any part.

Another question is... which songs from that time period that didn't get introduced by Casey on a weekly show, DID get introduced by Casey in some other form? I know he played "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart as an LDD a few times, and "Red Red Wine" by UB40 in its initial chart run in 1984.

Remember that Casey was still hosting "America's Top 10" on TV during that gap between radio shows, so songs really would have had to have peaked no higher than #11 to qualify.

But 1973 and 1983 would be the only pairing of shows 10 years apart of which they have not previously aired any part. Obviously with Pete B's clue, I will retract my guess of a 1975 show for the year-end special. At this point, 1983 does make a lot of sense, but I still wouldn't be surprised to get 1977 and 1987. The '77 was played in '09, but Premiere's pattern for the 70's year end specials has been to alternate between early and late 70's years ('78 on '07, '71 in '08, '76 and '77 in '09, '74 in '10). And both years have only been aired twice in the second half of 2011 (5 times total for '77, 4 for '87) The other possibility would be 1971 and 1981. The '81 year-end has not been played in any form at this point (the '71 Top 40 was played December '08) and not a ton of shows from either one of those years played during 2011. Likewise, 1970 and 1980 wouldn't be out of the question, though the second half of the 1980 year-end was played in '08. But given that 1980 has been played 6 times this year (3 in each half) and possibly a 7th, this would seem unlikely. Hard to tell at this point...
