ETA: It is.

Just heard AT40 on WWIS only to hear basically the same songs repeated on Casey lite  ( What week does it correspond to, 8/2 like AT40, or the next week, 8/9? |

Next week's Casey lite 1982! Interestingly, between this and Premiere's AT40s, last weekend and this weekend we get countdowns for every year from 1978 to 1983. |

Next week's not AT40; 1988 Unintentionally funny moment in this week's countdown: calling UB40 "basically a one hit wonder" for "Red Red Wine". Casey Kasem, Shadoe Stevens, and Rick Dees might beg to differ, as their countdowns all ranked UB40 at #1 again in 1993 with "Can't Help Falling In Love", one of their several subsequent hits. |

Are they still replacing low-charting songs with more popular hits that hadn't hit the Top 40 yet?

From what I've seen on another board...no. It's been quite some time (maybe over a year now, IIRC) since they last did that.

Are they still replacing low-charting songs with more popular hits that hadn't hit the Top 40 yet? They seem to have a problem finding songs at an acceptable quality range. For example the song that they played (2 years in a row) was "Sunshine" by Dino the single remix at a very low quality it sounds like it was recorded from an old cassette minus the crisp sound. I bought my copy of the single on vinyl at "Cheapo" Records near Uptown here in Minneapolis it is at an acceptable quality range. Just saying, perhaps I could help them out and direct to some reliable sources. Yours, Josh Joel |

I just looked back on this thread, because I knew I had posted a comment when they seemed to stop replacing songs. My comment is on page 8 dated Sept. 4, 2010. They were on a 5 week consecutive run of no replacements at that time. They haven't made any since. ---- Thankfully!

OMG, Casey lite is playing Atlanta Lady by Marty Balin and it isn't the hit version! They also played the 70s studio version of Billy Joel's "Say Goodbye to Hollywood", not the live version that was a hit in 1981. (Now will someone tell 70s on 7 that the radio will not explode if you play a song from outside that station's assigned decade, in light of their deletion of all pre-1970 songs from Casey's AT40s?) |

Turkeys Of The 80's? So is that goofy songs? Songs that you'd think would be big but weren't? (Big artist, low charting hit)

Wow, I could make a top 100 of songs from the 80's I'd never like to hear again... Several by Mickey Thomas Starship, At This Moment, Pour Some Sugar On Me... Wow, the possibilities are endless!

Next week's not AT40; let's try 1987 again. I'd rather that they did December 1989; they've never played that month before and we're not currently getting AT40 or Casey from that period. We just had 1987 last month, from both SXM 8 and AT40, so even delayed a week it seems too soon, especially as, unlike AT40, they have the whole decade to choose from and no years or shows off limits due to special countdowns or guest hosts. To make matters even more redundant, they might end up next doing 1988 in January and thus repeating most of the December 1987 songs. |

Two random observations:
The past three Big 40 countdowns (1980, 85, 87) have all featured songs by Heart. This band did not hit the top 40 in December in any other year of the 1980s.
Also, the 3 shows counting this weekend (1985, 87, 83) feature the same year as the following week's AT40: the 80's.
