This weekend's AT10 show

[BROWNJB1]

I have 2 tidbits about this past weekend's American Top 10 show:

1. Casey mentioned about ABBA's decision not to reunite, and he played the song, "Mamma Mia" by ABBA as an AT10 extra, and by the way, I actually saw "Mamma Mia" at the movies last Saturday night. It was a good movie and there was a lot of singing in it.

2. Casey also did something on the show that he never does much anymore, which was something he did regularly during his AT40 days, which was he mentioned the No.1's on the other charts at the time he was about to play the No. 1 song on AT10. He did a story about Leona Lewis while her song, "Bledding Love" was at No. 2. Normally, he tells a story leading into the No. 1 song. He didn't do it this week.

He also said something about Daughtry's "Feels Like Tonight" staying at the #10 spot for 8 weeks, a record on the AC chart.

Actually, this has happened a number of times on the HAC show. It's a matter of a song being at #1 long enough that they've run out of stories to use to tie in to it. This is, however, the first time this has happened on AT10.

This weekend it happens again, Casey ties the story with Leona at number two and checks out the top of the other charts only before playing the number 1 song in the land.

Tidbits from this weekend's AT10 show:

Casey played the songs, "How Do I Live" by Leann Rimes, and "Foolish Games" by Jewel as extras this weekend, and here is an interesting coincidence. "Foolish Games" was the B side single of "You Were Meant For Me" and "Meant" had once held the record for the most weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 single charts with 65 weeks, and then "How Do I Live" ended up breaking the record for the most weeks on the Hot 100 which was previously held by "Meant" and "How" spent a record 69 weeks on the Hot 100.

With this week spotlight segment featuring artist from Pennsylvania, one of the artists that was featured was Hall & Oates, and their No. 1 hit from 1984, "Out Of Touch" was played, and Casey stated that H&O are the most successful act to come from Pennsylvania. By the way, since I am mentioning Hall & Oates, Daryl Hall will be a guest on the Lost 45s tonight as Barry Scott will have a conversation with Daryl, and I am sure that "Out Of Touch" will be played on the show as well. To listen to the Lost45s, go to www.oldies1033fm.com

One last thing, with the many songs that are played on American Top 10, which are played on their spotlight segment, extras, hits from years past, and long distance dedications, it looks like Premiere radio has a huge music library, and it looks like they won't be running out of songs to play on AT10 anytime soon

The fact that "Bleeding Love" was number one on the HAC show might have also had something to do with it.

This weekend's edition of "AT10" (9/20 & 9/21) spotlights artists who have had five or more songs that hit #1 on either the pop or AC chart.

This weekend's edition of "AT10" (9/27 & 9/28) spotlights songs whose titles aren't mentioned in the lyrics-Examples would be "Streetcorner Symphony" by Rob Thomas,"Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers & "My Immortal" by Evanescence.

Two others would be "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls (1998) and "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart (1982). On the 1982 YE countdown, I remember Casey saying "if you listen carefully, you'll never hear Rod Stewart say the phrase 'Young Turks'"

Were those two songs included on AT10 this past weekend?

Young Turks was, at least. Casey mentioned it as one of three Rod Stewart hits that don't mention the title. The others were 1971's "Maggie May" (no "May") and 1991's "The Motown Song" (at least technically; the somewhat generically titled song does mention the word "Motown").
