Another reverse jinx from the same show:
Casey said Debbie Gibson hit #4 with her first 3 hit songs as "Out Of The Blue" went 7-4 that week. Two weeks later "Out Of The Blue" would peak one higher at #3.

And yet another reverse jinx from the very same show:
Casey said Michael Jackson was the first performer to get 4 #1 songs from a single album as "Man In The Mirror" went to #1 that week. 14 weeks later, Michael Jackson would get a 5th #1 from Bad when "Dirty Diana" hit pole position.

^ But there was a jinx in the 3/26/88 show, and not with any of the Top 40 songs/artists but with an update regarding Christopher Cross. Casey mentioned that Christopher had been racing cars for a few years and was recently involved in a bad accident. As a result, Christopher went back into the studio to record a new album, and Casey said the new record would be ready in a couple of months. Not only did the new album, "Back Of My Mind" not produce any Top 40 hits but the album didn't even chart on the Billboard 200. Poor Christopher Cross... injured from road racing, and kept away from the music charts thanks to Casey and his writing staff!

Casey said on the 3/26/1977 show that Natalie Cole had the #1 song om the Soul chart , while the song was #12 on the pop chart, and it might be her first #1 on the pop chart, as well. Oops--the song, I've Got Love On My Mind, made it to #5 the last week of April, 1977.

On 3/24/84 Casey noted that Blondie was the group (not duo or solo act) with the most #1's so far in the 80s, with Queen and Men At Work behind. He said that Blondie were no longer recording as a group and so Queen and Men At Work had the chance to overtake them. In fact not only did none of these three groups hit #1 on AT40 again, but none of them even made the top 40 for the rest of the decade after Queen's then-current "Radio Ga-Ga" finished its run.

The group that would wind up with the most #1s in the '80s, four, would just graze the 40 three weeks later, spending one week at #39 with their first top 40 record, "Runaway".

On this week's 1987 show, Casey said Peter Wolf was a long time hitter. He'd never get to the top 40 again.

Arguable jinx: 4/12/75 Casey said it looked like "Stand By Me" was going to be a big hit for John Lennon. It stayed on the countdown for only five weeks peaking at #20.

In the same episode Casey mentioned how Phoebe Snow's "Poetry Man" had climbed 8-7-6-5 and could reach #1. Nope, fell to #25 the next week and then off the countdown.

On this week's 1988 show Commentary Casey said the Bosser was headed another top tenner with One Step Up, just like the first two releases from Tunnel of Love. It would stall right there at #13. He'd wait six long years before getting another top 10, his last.

In this week's 1974 show we get a double dose of Casey jinxs in the top 10: he predicted that "Oh My My" and "Best Thing That Happened To Me" would both likely go to #1. Neither did, though both peaked in the top 5 the following week.

But the fish didn't bite on the pop chart, as it got no higher than the #23 it was at that week.

During the intro to Break It To Me Gently by Juice Newton, on the show from 10/23/82, Casey noted that the previous 4 Top 40 hits by Ms. Newton made the Top 10 and this song moved up 2 to #11 and looked liked it was headed there as well--oops, this song peaked at #11.
