AT40 from June 10, 2000. Some great memories from my senior year of high school just about to end, and my graduation song from Vitamin C is on here.

Casey's Top 40 "Top 40 Acts of the 80s" special from 11/25/89. Probably my favorite and the most "reputable" of the numerous 80s specials CT40 did in 1989 and 1990. I feel this show is actually a much better representation of the decade in music than the Top 40 # 1's of the 80s that aired as the decade special. If I could pick one CT40 show to find a way to include in the AT40 the 80s show package that would be worthy, it would be this one. heard that show the other day too,currently listening to the CT40 british hits of the 80s at the moment

AT40 from June 19, 1999.
Casey is telling a story of a song identifying phone service for whatever song is on the radio at the time, kind of like a primitive version of Shazam before smartphones existed. It's fun with the old technology stories.

It's fun with the old technology stories. Like the extended 1983 story of the newfangled thang called a compact disc. Or, getting away from Casey and AT40, I often hear Rick Dees' 90s shows with "now we're on the World Wide Web at rick.com!" As for Shazam, many years later that eventually became a regular AT40 verb as well as a noun; Ryan Seacrest regularly points out "that's the most Shazamed song of the week."

Or how about Dees always plugging some multi-disc CD changer or something similar at the start of his 80s and early 90s shows? I remember how cool it was when I got a shelf system with a 5-disc rotating tray! Ah the good old days...

Just starting to listen to the august 21st 1971 show and right at the begining of the show casey makes a mistake as he says dave and ansell collins are brothers, Dave's name was dave barker so no relation at all to ansell collins (wonder how many weeks when double barrel was in the charts did casey made that error )

Earlier I was listening to the top 100 of 1989, Now I'm listening to Casey's top 40 October 1992, can't remember the exact date. I noticed on en vogues free your mind Casey and Shadow played different versions of the song

It's a show with a few significant tidbits associated with it for either myself or the show itself. The AT20 from 6/13/09. It is Mike guest hosting for his Dad. You know they must have determined by this time that Casey's last show would be broadcast the first weekend of July. So you have to think the only reason Mike did this show is that Casey was not healthy enough to do it. That is most unfortunate. But the fact that this show aired on the weekend of June 13 and 14, 2009 which ends up being essentially five years to the date of Casey's passing is the saddest fact of them all. And a current significance for this show for me is that the Fray are aiming for their 12th week at #1 with "You Found Me" as Mike said in the opening. I worked their show with Train here in Raleigh last week.

Just finished 6/11/88--this show has to be one of the best shows of 1988 IMHO. This countdown was full of great songs, including several "lost" hits (the Church, OMD, "Tall Cool One", "Rush Hour", etc.). One time that 1988 ranks up there with some of the best years of the 80's. The only really bad song of the bunch was the JJ Fad clunker...I remember when Billboard was hyping these guys (or gals I should say) as the first big female rap act earlier in the year...but Salt n Pepa had already beaten them to it, and would go one to dwarf JJ Fad in terms of success.
Somebody mentioned the crappy edit to Debbie Gibson's "Foolish Beat", which I would agree with. Maybe just as bad was the edit to "Everything Your Heart Desires"--both sounded pretty awkward. I think Premiere's staff may have tried to get too cute with both of those. On the other hand, they left "Piano In the Dark" and "The Valley Road" untouched--which I think might be the first time since I've been tuning into the series that either of those songs haven't fallen victim to the PRN editing staff's knife...kudos for finally letting them play out in full.

A couple firsts for me in listening to the Casey's Countdown from 6/13/92. Heard the remixed version of a song I heard the original version of in a show I heard earlier in the same day. Robert Palmer's "Every Kinda People" whose original version I heard on the 6/10/78 AT40 was in this show as a remixed version. Then I heard back to back songs with the same title...."I'll Be There". It was an R&D by teh Escape Club and then after a commercial break, it was the #7 song by Mariah Carey. If someone already had a copy of R&R and knew the chart ahead of time, when Casey said that the dedicated song was "I'll Be There", that person would have surely thought it was the Mariah Carey song that was going to be played. Would have been surprised when the Escape Club song was played a few seconds later. Of course these are two different songs.

Right now, it's 6/15/85, in which we were treated to the debut of the AT40 Hall of Fame, a feature that wouldn't quite catch on and last. I think that's a shame - it's definitely better than hearing LDDs two or three times a show.

Just finished listening to AT40 from 6/5/1999. With all the slow chart movement of the 90s, I was surprised to hear that two songs in the Top 20 that week moved up 8 or more notches. Will Smith's "Wild Wild West" moved up from 19 to 11. The week before that it moved up 18 from #37.
EDIT: I couldn't recall the other song when I was typing the post, but it was "All Star" by Smash Mouth. Moved up 19 notches to #19!

Casey's Countdown, 20 June 1992. Discovering "new" music that I never listened to at that time.
