Two different Caseys, two different eras, same great radio host. They really don't make them like that any longer. Shame.

Taking a few days off of work, but not from listening to Casey. I can't help myself.
Today is the CT40 from 4/22/89, a week with some pretty big droppers. "My Heart Can't Tell You No", "You Got It" and "Dreamin'" all take double-digit plunges, but the winner (loser?) of the week goes to Karen White's "Superwoman" with a 22-notch plummet out of the top ten to 32.
Ultimate 1980s one-hit wonder Jimmy Harnen with Synch debuts at 36 with "Where Are You Now?", one of my favorite songs from the spring of '89, which was a pretty fun time for pop music. I think from then on, that year was quite entertaining, actually.

AT20 HAC from 6/22/02 - i'd say this time period was when that chart was at its slowest. Yes I agree. There were only 5 number ones during 2002 on the HAC chart, the least of any year of the chart's existence (1994-present)

CT40 from April 30, 1994 - the week of the PPW chart change. Listening in lieu of the Rick Dees "all-request special" that he has up.

Just finished up with March 9, 1991. Now: Bedtime! Looks like we're in the same month--listening to Casey's Top 40 from 3/30/91. Very good mix of songs--at #7 with Tracie Spencer's "This House"--a great song that's so seldom heard anymore. One of several forgotten hits on this countdown. A not so good song from that time: Gerardo's "Rico Suave". I actually like the tune, but the lyrics are awful.

AT40 from 4/25/92 and they just did a flashback of the top 5 from 1987. It just so happens that I just heard that top 5 in the previous show I heard, the 4/25/87 show that I heard yesterday. Good thing I heard these shows in this order. A couple months ago, I heard a Shadoe AT40 where they did a top 5 flashback from the show that I was to hear next. Ended up scrubbing that because I don't want to know what the songs are ahead of time. Back to this show, heard a tidbit that was a surprise. Shadoe thought that MJ's "In the Closet" featured the voice of Madonna because it sounded like her on background vocals. Of course it is not her although I found out upon doing a search that MJ and Madonna thought about collaborating on this song. Never happened but that may be why Shadoe and/or the AT40 staff got the idea that she was on the record.

This morning it's 5/5/84, only the third show from that year to which I've listened thus far in 2015. It's funny how AT40 censored the word "pregnant dog" when playing "White Horse" by Laid Back, whereas CT40 had no choice to air the word in 1997 when Meredith Brooks hit the top of the chart with a song sporting that word as its title.
Ahh, censorship, in the land of the free. Refreshing.

7/19/80 this afternoon. The tail end of Disco Casey is still here, which is much more upbeat than most of the music

Anyway, seems strange that they edited that word when Elton John and Rod Stewart had hits in the 70s with that word as part of the title and they never edited it.

Ahh, censorship, in the land of the free. Refreshing. And going back 10 years prior to 1984, Elton John's hit with a pregnant dog in the title was not censored either. Listening to the 4/18/81 right now. Nothing like getting to hear all three of John Lennon's hits from Double Fantasy in one countdown. Actually, I don't mind "Starting Over", but "Watching the Wheels" is annoying and "Woman" ranks as one of my least favorite songs of the first AT40/Casey era. Not that I dislike all of Lennon's material--most of his early-mid 70's stuff I like, other than "Imagine". Maybe there's part of me that doesn't like him getting all introspective or something... 1981 was starting to turn around at this point--there are a number of good to great songs in this show. One strange one at #39...the Rovers...does anyone remember this song? Even with the schizophrenic charts of '81, this song sounds pretty out of place.
