Incorrectly answered, as I explained above in regard to "I Want To Hold Your Hand". And, after checking further, the staff gave him incorrect info about "Theme From 'A Summer Place'" also. That huge instrumental (which always reminds me of the 'Otter'/Dean Wormer's wife seduction scene in 'Animal House'  ) actually also reached #1 on the Hot 100 before Leap Day week in 1960--one week prior, the week ending Feb.22. Billboard's chart weeks ended on Monday in 1960, they had switched to Saturday by '64. Which explains why there were two Leap Day-ending chart dates only four years apart. "To Be With You" did reach #1 the week ending 2/29/92. I guess I understood the question as "was there ever a #1 song on a Leap Day," not "did a song reach its #1 peak on Leap Day." Do you mean a #1 song for that particular year? If that was the question, then both the '60 and '64 songs do qualify. Was "To Be With You" actually the #1 song of 1992 on Billboard? |

Will have to listen again--carefully!--tomorrow morning on my over-the-air station, KDRI. Do you recall where in the show this question is? Unrelated question: Are you having trouble posting on here today? I am. My screen keeps 'jumping'. |

In 1976 show, who were the youngest in countdown, barely less than year old, and made top 10 in 1961?
I missed mostly 1976 WPNC, except last hour, will listen tomorrow WHNR.
each hr begin with shuckatoom
WVWP repeating 1978 for past few weeks in row
-------------------
I missed little begin (listened KTRQ).. WHNR, and WTOJ listened rest 1976.
Elvis Presley double sided:, actually played For The Heart
at the end of the show, played shuckatoom even with Casey ended the show.

WVWP repeating 1978 for past few weeks in row Buzz Crawford's newborn with "Baby Sittin' Boogie". And though Casey mentioned then in 1972 9 year old Little Jimmy Osmond hitting the top 40 in 1972 with "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool", Casey didn't even mention Barry Gordon who hit the Billboard pop chart at the age of 6 years old with "Nuttin' For Christmas". By the way, have you ever tried to call or email WVWP to find out the problem with the station repeating the AT40: The 70's show from 1978 for the past few weeks? |

It's been a good while since I've heard a more forgotten 45 on a '70s show than Frankie Valli's "Fallen Angel". Not a bad tune! Also a rare AT40 song: The B side of Elvis Presley's "Hurt" played on 5/15/1976 AT40 called "From The Heart". The song For The Heart was written by Dennis Linde who also wrote Burnin' Love for Elvis. Linde also wrote the song Goodbye Earl by the group that used to be known as the Dixie Chicks. |

No, I wasn't referring to #1s for the year, just songs that were #1 on any week ending Feb. 29. Here is the question as Casey read it: "Has a chart date ever fallen on Leap Day, and, if so, what was the #1 record that week?" [emphasis mine] The question comes in the show right after #25 by Billy Ocean, but in this most recent airing Premiere moved it so that it plays right after #18. |

So it was Casey who added that the #1 songs on both the 1960 and 1964 Leap Days also happened to be the #1 singles of those respective years. |

Yes it was, or more precisely, it was Casey's script-writer(s). |

And on Ryan Seacrest AT40, what was the #1 song on the 2/29/2020 Leap Year Day holiday? “Circles.” Which, I may add, moved back to #1 for the third time that week (6th week overall). |

Casey said Johnny Cash's "One Piece At A Time" was his "biggest hit since 'A Boy Named Sue'." Biggest Country hit, maybe, but certainly not biggest *pop* hit since "Sue". "What is Truth" got to #19; "Piece" ended up peaking at 29.

Casey starts the show by mentioning that 20 artists in the survey already had hit #1. Eventually 6 more will: ABBA, Billy Ocean, Commodores, Queen, Fleetwood Mac and Hall & Oates. Is 26 a record for #1 acts in a single countdown? Adding 'eventually' makes it a different question. But doing so makes the record 32 set on 12/28/74. |
