It's also a reverse jinx, if you count the Cash Box charts.

1/10/81 reverse jinx - Casey calls Steely Dan "the band that never tours," which was true at the time, but with their 90's reunion they would resume touring.

Jinx and reverse jinx in one. On this week's 1977 show Casey said BeeGees were getting started on their 'first big smash of 1977 with Boogie Child'. It would peak at a modest #12 and would be one of Barry, Robin, and Maurice's most forgotten singles. But later in the year came this little thing called SNF.

Casey said on 1/29/77 that the hottest new married couple in music were Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. But after one #1 hit they only had one more top 40 hit together, which hit #15. (Though they did have many hits earlier when they were 2/5 of the Fifth Dimension; they married in 1969 while in that group and are still together today.)
And there was something reverse-jinxy about Casey noting that "Blinded By the Light" only moved up one notch to #8 and that he had anticipated it would move up a lot higher. Three weeks later it was #1.

It would peak at a modest #12 and would be one of Barry, Robin, and Maurice's most forgotten singles. But later in the year came this little thing called SNF. The Brothers Gibb had a pattern going with their two pre-'SNF' studio LPs: Each one had three singles, the first of which hit #1, the second was top 10, and the third peaked at #12. For 1975's "Main Course" it was "Jive Talkin'", followed by "Nights On Broadway (#7) and then "Fanny (Be Tender With My Love); 1976's "Children Of the World" led with "You Should Be Dancing", then the #3 "Love So Right", and lastly the all-but-forgotten "Boogie Child". And the three singles from each peaked at about the same time of year in 1975/76 and 1976/77, respectively.

Kind of a sad jinx in 1/19/74 as Casey mentions a rumor that the Beatles would get back together. I remember hearing him mention that at least once in the early, summer 1970 AT40s, but I'm guessing that's the last time he brought that up.

On this week's 1975 show Casey said the Temps were one of America's most successful groups... they would graze the bottom of the top 40 twice more in the next year and that was it, other than being a featured act on Rockin' Rod's 90s Motown Song. Then in a reverse jinx he said the way Mitchell was climbing, her Taxi would pass the #29 peak of Neighborhood's. It would soon reach #24. On the same show a classic Casey jinx when he said Jim Stafford was at #25 with a hot one. 'Bulldog would be unbulleted at #24 the next week and off the Hot 100 by the end of the month. Then he said Wonder could be #1 next week. Boogie would get no higher than that panel's #3. But then he reversed jinxed Ohio Players saying Fire could be their first #1, which it would do the next week.

1/10/76 Casey mentioned that the Who were the only 60's British band still making charting records with the original members. They would have a bit less than three years to continue to enjoy that.

On this week's 1985 show Casey said Robert Plant had never had an album he was involved with fail to reach top tenner status. His next solo release just a few months later couldn't push higher than #20.

Casey 'jinxed' Santa Esmeralda on this week's '78 show by saying something along the lines of (paraphrasing) "The way they're moving, they'll take their remake of The Animals' 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood'" higher than the original". Which of course doomed the record to peak at the same #15 as the original...

On last week's 1972 show, Casey said "last year it was Carole King, this year it looks like it is going to be Melanie". She would never reach the top 30 again. 2/19/72 (airing this weekend) has Casey saying about Melanie "it looks like her year."

Reverse jinx: On this week's 1988 show Commentary Casey said MJ was trying to become the first act to get four #1s from one album. Not only did the gloved one's 'Mirror reach #1, but a few months later he'd get a 5th from Bad when the long since forgotten Dirty Diana reached the top.

On this week's 1988 show Commentary Casey said the Bosser had had more top tenners w/o ever getting to the top than any other act. Not only would Bruce never see #1 but he'd wait six long years before getting another top 10, his last.

On this week's 1981 show Casey proclaimed Stevie a top tenner Wonder saying if his countdown song reached, it would be his 23rd time there. But I Ain't Gonna would Stand no higher than #11.
