On this week's 1976 show Casey said Jimmy Dean had a hot record moving 35-83 in only its 2nd Hot 100 week. IOU would go no higher, holding at #35 then falling to #58 before departing the Hot 100 after just 4 weeks.
Then he said the only thing Al Wilson was serving up his customers today were hit records. I've Got A feeling would drop to #65 the next week, the final week Al Wilson would ever spend on the Hot 100.

Non-chart related jinx on 6/4/77. Casey recounted the Fleetwood Mac soap opera and mentioned that Mick Fleetwood and his ex wife Jenny were trying for a reconciliation. Didn't happen.

On this week's 1976 show, Casey stated next week Boogie could be #1, two in a row for Sliver Convention.
They would never Get Up higher than #2 and would never reach the top 40 again.

Humble Harve, who filled in for Casey in July 1974, predicted Elton John's Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me would be a #1; after the song moved from 25 to 6. Elton made it to #2 before the sun ...Er song went down the chart.

As I stated in my critique for the show, when Casey said there was a "new" number one song on the chart, I'm sure that many people thought that the Silver Convention song was it. But, technically, it was NOT a new number one - just a song that had NOT been #1 the previous week, but had been #1 before. Going into the final commercial break, Casey did clarify that, disappointing many fans of the Silver Convention song in the process.

These predictions ultimately proved right on the Billboard Hot 100; it just took 18 years, as the live George Michael/Elton John rendition of the song hit #1 there in February 1992. (It hit #2 on CT40 and #4 AT40.)

On this week's 1976 show, Casey said with all the attention Bob Marley was getting, he could be in for a big chart breakthrough soon. He would never hit the top 40.

On this week's 1988 show, Commentary Casey said "H&O are still the dynamic chart duo." The guys would never reach the top 10 again.

Elton did make it to the top of the Cash Box & Record World charts with the 'Sun' song--it only came up short on Billboard and R & R (probably more due to the length of the song--5:30-which probably affected the amount of airplay the song received).

On this week's 1978 show Casey hard sold Rare Earth returning to the top 40 'in style' with a BeeGees assist. Even with the help of the red hot brothers, the Warm Ride would only last to #39 the following panel, then plummet to #77, 94 and off the chart & RE would never reach the top 40 again.

Casey was at it again this week in 1978, saying O'Jays had their sights set on #1. Used To Me My Girl would top off at #4. Then he said Heatwave was making a hot name for themselves w/three top 40s in the past year; they would never reach the Hot 100 again. Finally he told the story of how the new non bubblegum sound for Sweet was paying off. They would only scrape the bottom of the Hot 100 once more, their final charter.

On the re-broadcast on SiriusXm (6-21-75), at the end of Linda Ronstadt's #2 hit, When Will I Be Loved, Casey said she was about to have back to back #1's hits (since You're No Good a #1 was her last hit). Well Linda got stuck behind the #1 song (Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain & Tennille) for a second week instead.

Casey jinxed himself on June 25, 1988 when he said "he'll set a new record if he gets it and we'll sure be talking about it if he does" referring to the possibility of "Dirty Diana" becoming the 5th #1 song from Michael Jackson's album Bad. Casey never said anything when it happened since there was a guest host the week the song became #1 (and it only spent one week there).
