Some sort of jinx on 11/3/84...Casey said Elton John told the press that he was thinking his current tour would be his last. Flash ahead 34 years and Elton is now on his "farewell" tour, which I believe is supposed to run one or two more years.

On last week's 1975 show Casey said Eagles 'Eyes was trying to get to #1 just like their prior One Of These Nights. It would be stopped by Elt's Island, getting no higher than that panel's #2.

Shadoe jinx here - on November 10, 1990, right after Vanilla Ice hit #1, he said that MC Hammer could have the second rap hit to reach #1. He stalled right there at #2, and going by AT40 continuity (using the top 40 airplay chart following the split from the Hot 100), would never go top 10 again.

Casey said on 11/27/76 that Captain & Tennille were trying to get to #1 with "Muskrat Love", then in its second week at #4. But it never got there, getting stuck at #4 for five weeks. (It did hit #1 in Radio & Records, though, so sometime from 1989 on Casey might have referred to it as a #1.)

On AT40: The 80's 11/23/1985: Casey mentioned "You're a Friend of Mine" by Clarence Clemons and Jackson Browne was their first time together - Clarance would never make the top 40 again, but Jackson Browne would have 1 final top 40 hit a year later with "For America".

"I'm Alive" did not make the 40 in the early '90s ('92?)? My chart data only goes through 1990, so I don't know.

"I'm Alive" (1993) Bubbled Under at #118, went top-20 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and top-30 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

On last week's 1976 show Casey said at the rate Firefall was climbing, two spots a week, they would be at #1 in six. They would climb only one more to #11. Then he double jinxed Faron Young saying one of Country's most consistent hitmakers had a probably never to be broken top 40 string of 24 years. He would reach the top 40 only a couple more years and then never again. And wasn't his record was shattered by George Strait who had top 40s for 30 years+.

Actually Firefall's hit "You Are the Woman" peaked at #9. And Dave Roberts (RIP) may have jinxed "Endless Love" on 11/21/81 when he said it "may be the #1 song of the year". It was #2 for the year; in another late 1981 show Casey correctly predicted that the top song of year was a two way battle between EL and "Bette Davis Eyes".

On 11/25/72 show Casey says at the end of I'm Stone In Love With You by the Stylistics (#15 that week) that the song looks like a possible #1. The song would peak at #10.

On this week's 1980 show, Casey said that Paul McCartney had hit the top 40 every year since 1970. 1981 would be his first year without a top 40 hit since the Beatles started.
Elton John, who was also mentioned, however, did keep his streak intact until 1995.

He did not release anything in 1981, partly I think because he took extra time preparing his first work after Lennon's death. But yes.

Unsettled time in Pauls's life: He was dealing with legal issues following his January 1980 arrest and brief imprisonment in Japan, plus he had disbanded Wings in 1980 as well. After his quickly-made-at-home "McCartney 2" album, he probably took some time figuring out what to do next. By the time "Tug Of War" was ready for release it was already 1982. I'm sure John's murder put a damper on things as well.

Was Paul helping out on backing vocals or something like that on George Harrison's "All Those Years Ago" in 1981?
