On this week's 1988 show, Commentary Casey said "H&O are still the dynamic chart duo." They would never reach the top 10 again. Almost. #11 would be the peak position of the so aptly named "So Close" toward the end of 1990. Excellent song, as was it's follow-up "Don't Hold Back Your Love".

'Don't hold back' ended their top 40 hits, by peaking at #41.

Chicago was on the end of it this week in 1975(on XM) as Casey referenced the good outlook of "Old Days" as it moved up a few notches to #5. The song peaked at #5.

Casey said the O'Jays 'Use ta be my girl' had its sights set on #1 pop. It'd peak at #4. He said the #1 prediction on the 6-17-78 show.

On this week's 1983 show Casey said Neil Diamond has hit the top 40 for 15 consecutive years. The star from Brooklyn would never reach the countdown again.

On this week's 1983 show Casey said Neil Diamond has hit the top 40 for 15 consecutive years. The star from Brooklyn would never reach the countdown again. Indeed, and the artist who would break the record - Elton John - had a hit of his own that week.

On 6/28/75, Casey played Olivia Newton-John's "Please Mr. Please", which jumped from 34 to 15, noted her previous "Have You Never Been Mellow" got to #1, and said that "this one has a good chance" to do the same. It was a good guess at the time, but "Please..." ultimately only reached #3.

Moving up 19 notches within the top 40 or debuting at 19 are good signs that a record will hit #1. Olivia did both of those chart feats in 1975 but failed to hit #1 either time. Her next release debuted at 19 and only peaked at 13....the highest debuting song on AT40 that never hit the top 10. Casey could not jinx her then because the show was guest hosted. Casey also noted that 3 consecutive artists including ONJ were coming off #1 records. Only Eagles as Casey said....'the' Eagles as he would later say..... would hit #1 with Frankie Valli also falling short of the top spot.

On the July 3, 1993 CT40, Casey mentioned that Taylor Dayne was the first female artist to hit the top 10 with her first 9 singles. After her then-current hit "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love", she would never hit the top 10 again. Ironically, he said that Taylor broke a tie with Mariah Carey in the process; Mariah would take the record back by the end of the year with her next two singles.

Sort of an implicit jinx, or at least ironic: Casey introed the Carpenters' "I Need To Be In Love" on 7/10/76 by listing the Carpenters' three prior #1's and saying "Here's their newest big hit." It ultimately wasn't that big, only hitting #25, and only once after that did they even get that high ("Touch Me When We're Dancing" hit #16 in 1981.)

In the outcue of 'New sensation', Casey said that INXS was'lookin' like a #1 sensation.' It'd go on to peak at #3.

In the second-ever AT40 (broadcast 7/11/70, using the 7/18 chart) Casey noted the Beatles' record number of #1 hits and stated that Elvis Presley was the only act with the potential to plausibly surpass it. Elvis never had another #1 after that, and only really came close to doing so once ("Burning Love" hit #2 in 1972.)

In the outcue of 'New sensation', Casey said that INXS was'lookin' like a #1 sensation.' It'd go on to peak at #3. In the same show (July 9, 1988), Casey said much the same with the next song: "Def Leppard are roaring to hit the top with 'Pour Some Sugar On Me'". It fell one notch short, reaching #2 two weeks later. (DL did get to #1 with their next single, "Love Bites", but Casey didn't get to announce that.)

On the lost 1970 show, Casey named the 7 "ideal dates" as chosen by some bachelorette society. One of the seven was Bill Cosby...oops!
Ralph Nadar...really?

On the same show, Casey said Elvis "has had more songs listed than anyone ever had or probably will ever have". Unfortunately that record was broken by the Gleesters.
