10-24-92....Shadoe says its the Halloween show and that he would be gone next week. He doesn't reveal who the guest host is, but says you know them. Has some good Halloween stories from various artists. James Walters from the Heights tells one about egging an off-duty cop. Good story about origin of Monster Mash and Boys II Men ties AT40 record for weeks at #1.

With the sudden and very saddening departure of Bob Kingsley, I'm going to listen to the first ACC weekly show I acquired some time ago, 10/4/1980. Some familiar tunes on there, as a few were charting or would chart soon on AT40.
Won't be too long before I do a year-end marathon with Bob hosting, starting with 1978, and going to 2018.
He's a big reason why I got into and appreciate country music. I can hear the passion in his voice; it never wavered even up to the last show he hosted just two weekends ago. I loved how he still got into today's artists and songs.
This just seems so wrong, how this all happened so fast. The word "legend" is not nearly enough to describe Bob, however, I don't have the words. It's hard to accept the finality, and suddenness. This life is all I know; my finite mind cannot grasp anything beyond it, other than I trust the Lord. And may He comfort Bob's family, friends, and all those that were impacted by his presence, wherever it may have been.
He'll be deeply missed.

In the top 10 of CT40 from 10/19/1991 in the car, and there was a commercial about a class action lawsuit regarding Milli Vanilli.
On deck: AT40 from 10/20/1979.

Just started AT40 from 10/20/1979. Evidently Billboard ignored ELO's plea of "Don't Bring Me Down", as it plummeted from #13 to #39. That's one of my favorite ELO tunes, along with "Xanadu".

Christmas in America w/Bob Kingsley - 1999 edition I have 10 of the CIA’s with Bob Kingsley, but don’t have the 1999 show. I have nearly every one from 2001-2013. They’re all wonderful shows. Enjoy

I've only got the one from 1998, which I'll listen to sometime after Thanksgiving.
Working through the CT40 from 11/2/1991 and then AT40 from 11/3/1979. Been falling behind a little bit with these.

I'm back, well for one show anyway. Into different things these days than AT40,etc. but I needed to hear 3 more shows from 1988 to have heard each one and yesterday and today was the time to hear one of them, the show from 11/26/88. A couple of records are reached for the third time on this show, both pertaining to singles from albums. First MJ debuts with "Smooth Criminal" and ties the record he originally set and was later tied by Bruce Springsteen of having 7 top 40 hits from the same album. Of course we are talking about Thriller and Born in the USA and now Bad. The other record happened when "Kissing a Fool" was played. It made George Michael the third artist to have an album with 6 top 10 hits. By the way, this actually happened 2 weeks earlier when KAF hit the top 10 so the AT40 staff was late to the punch on this one. The other 2 albums coincidentally to have 6 top 10 hits on them were the first two from above, Thriller and Born in the USA. And both of those had 7 top 10 hits. Shadoe pointed out that "I Want Your Sex" while on the Faith album actually originally appeared on the Beverly Hills Cop II soundtrack so the Faith album did not generate 6 top 10 hits but had that many hits on it. Btw, The Bad album will become the 4th such album in a few weeks when "Smooth Criminal" becomes the 6th top 10 hit from it. 1988 is definitely the year for deep hits from albums. But even more is deep hits hitting big. This is not a comprehensive list but these are albums released in the 1987/88 time frame whose 4th single either hit #1 and/or was the biggest hit from the album. Faith, Bad, Whitney Houston's Whitney, Miami Sound Machine's Let it Loose, Expose's Exposure, Def Leppard's Hysteria(title track was the second LDD), Debbie Gibson's Out of the Blue, Richard Marx' self titled album and the album which included the week's highest debut record, Taylor Dayne's Tell it to My Heart and "Don't Rush Me", my fave song from that album. And a couple of references/stories about bands delving into other musical genres well before they were known. Huey Lewis thought reggae was the big thing musically back in the mid 70s and that is all he listened to back then. "Small World" has some reggae influence in it. And in 1977-78, U2 thought that the only people who like the blues were oldsters and Led Zeppelin fans. That genre was the inspiration for their Rattle and Hum movie. Shadoe mentioned a couple songs from it including "Angel of Harlem" that was recorded at Sun studios in Memphis where Elvis and Johnny Cash first recorded. Unbeknownst to Shadoe, AOH would be the followup single to "Desire" that was sitting at its #3 peak position this week. Another instance of being late to the party was saying that "Kokomo" set a record for the Beach Boys of most time between their first #1 hit and latest #1 hit of 24 years and 4 months. "I Get Around" having hit #1 in the summer of 1964. Previous record holder also involved songs hitting #1 in 1964 and 1988. That was George Harrison as part of the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and his own "Got My Mind Set on You" that hit the top in January. Late on this because "Kokomo" was on top 3 weeks prior. On top this week btw is Bon Jovi with "Bad Medicine". And those are the highlights from the 11/26/88 show with Cinderella's "Don't Know What You've Got 'Til It's Gone" being a musical highlight for me at #13. Good listen even if Shadoe is no Casey.

Welcome back, dukelightning! Even if just for a brief moment. Good to "see" you. I'm on this past weekend's 70s offering, 11/17/1979. Many songs in this show are in the 1980 year-end. Looking forward to the 11/24 show in the next few days; the only 1979 show I haven't heard yet. Bummer that it wasn't selected to air this year, hopefully next year. It's been a fun journey through 1979.

Thanks onwiththecountdown. I may be back on a more regular basis. I have a ton of shows to hear from 1989 on. Btw, I figured someone would quibble with my claim (had to edit what I originally posted...the word I used was censored!)that the Def Leppard Hysteria album's 4th single was the biggest hit from the album. 4th hit was "Pour Some Sugar on Me" which reached #2 while the next release "Love Bites" went to the top. However, in the year end survey, Sugar came in at #19 while Bites was #30. I think that is the better barometer of what is the bigger hit. Similar to John Mellencamp having "Hurts So Good" a #2 hit outranking the #1 hit "Jack and Diane" in the 1982 year end survey.
