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

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. Oddly, Casey calls Elton John "the Brown Dirt Cowboy." If I understood that album title correctly, Elton was Captain Fantastic and Bernie Taupin was the Brown Dirt Cowboy.

A bit of a reverse jinx in 12/6/80. When Casey mentioned Rick Springfield in a list of Australian acts who had hit the top 40 (while introducing Air Supply) he probably had no idea that the former 1972 one-hit wonder would have a string of hits starting in 1981.

On AT40: The 80's 12/12/1987: Casey mentioned Billy Idol had hit #1 for the first time with "Mony Mony", but it would be 3 more years until Billy Idol would make the top 40 one more time with "Cradle of Love" (And during the Shadoe Stevens AT40 era).

On this week's 1973 show Casey said debuting Corazon was a hot record by a hot artist. It would climb to 37-39 the following week and was out of the top 40 the next.

The 12/22/1973 week Corazon fell out of the top 40 was the same week AT40 did the 1973 Christmas countdown shutting out El Chicano's and Ann Peebles' songs from being played on their only top 40 weeks!

On 12/12/87, Casey said of Jody Watley's "Don't You Want Me", "Lookin' as good as Looking For a New Love, which hit #2 back in May." But DYWM, at #9 that week, only peaked at #6. Jody did return to the #2 spot in 1989 with "Real Love", but never got a pop #1.

December 17, 1977: "If Debby Boone holds on for one more week she'll break the record for the longest running #1 of the rock era and the longest for a female singer in all chart history".
Well, the following week 'twas the night before Christmas and a new record 'twas not to be, as the Bee Gees ended her chart topping streak at 10 weeks. Though some listeners may have thought she did break those records, as instead of broadcasting that regular chart AT40 began its year end show. Not until 1/7/78 was a new show with "How Deep Is Your Love" at #1 aired and Casey able to bring listeners up to date on the charts.

On AT40: The 80's 12/18/1982: Casey mentioned that "Muscles" by Diana Ross has been holding the #10 spot for 6 weeks and he hoped to check if it is a record, but following the 2 week top 100 of 1982 on the first AT40 chart of 1983, the song was gone from the top 40 reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Yes, it fell from #10 to #41 the following week, just one of many songs that fell off the 40 from a high peak position on those suspicious charts of late '82/early '83.

And if anyone was wondering, 6 weeks peaking at #10 was a record at that time. It has since been broken by Five's "When The Lights Go Out" which peaked at #10 for 7 weeks in 1998.

Casey said on 12/11/76 that Barry DeVorzon wrote the theme from "SWAT" which hit #1 earlier that year, and "he's shooting for another #1" with "Nadia's Theme" (also used in "The Young and the Restless"), which that week was at would be its peak position of #8. However, both of DeVorzon's themes can be heard regularly on TV today, with the reboot of SWAT and the continuing popularity of YR.
Later in the same show Casey said of the Bee Gees "They had a #1 record with "You Should Be Dancing" and they're trying to make it to #1 with this one", that being "Love So Right", then peaking at #3. But over the next few years they would return to #1 again...and again...and again...

In part 2 of the Top 100 of 1986 in the lead in the Prince's song "Kiss" Casey mentioned that Prince's band the Revolution broke up that 1986 year, however, Prince had a new back up band in 1992: The N.P.G. (credited under Prince's Shadoe Stevens AT40 era songs "My Name is Prince", "7", and "The Morning Papers").

Do you think this counts as a Casey jinx?:
In Part 2 of the Top 80 of 1972, Casey said "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" by Wayne Newton from Summer 1972 was Wayne's biggest hit to date, but it would be 8 more years until Wayne Newton would hit AT40 one more time with "Years" in Spring 1980, and then after that, no more top 40 hits for Wayne Newton.
