I do miss the days when billyonaire used to give us the show(s) by Friday morning, which is actually 8 days before the shows were played.

"Stranger On The Shore" was the first of three instrumental hits that topped the chart in 1962-The other two were "The Stripper" by David Rose & "Telstar" by The Tornadoes.

"Stranger On The Shore" was the first of three instrumental hits that topped the chart in 1962-The other two were "The Stripper" by David Rose & "Telstar" by The Tornadoes. And it was also the first #1 single by a British artist to top the 'Hot 100' The Tornadoes' "Telstar" at the end of '62 would be the only other one prior to "I Want To hold Your Hand" and the ensuing 'British Invasion' in 1964.

"Troglodyte" by The Jimmy Castor Bunch is a certifiable guilty pleasure-It spawned a sequel "The Bertha Butt Boogie" which reached the top 40 in the spring of 1975.

The entire B show from 1977 has Casey talking about the #1 song whether it is in saying that we are counting down to a new #1 song as he did all the time in the 70s or in what he said three different times before getting to #1. He said that there were 3 artists which had hit #1 twice in 1977 and they were all in the top 10. Now I wonder what percentage of the listeners fell into these 2 categories. One would be that he is giving away the #1 song with what he is saying because if they were regular listeners, they would know that the Eagles and Leo Sayer had hit #1 twice and that the third one had to be Stevie Wonder. The second group could be scratching their heads because of Casey referring to 3 artists that had hit #1 twice in 1977 because this statement seems to be based on what has already happened to that point in 1977. Thus, they were drawing a blank because going into this show only the Eagles and Leo Sayer had already hit #1 twice in 1977. This is more or less a past or present thing if you will. Stevie hitting #1 this week is a present thing so any comment about his being at #1 in the past (twice) is misleading IMO. It makes me wonder if Casey did this deliberately just to make things more interesting with various people thinking differently like that. Now when we get to #1, it is not until the outro that Casey mentions it again about Stevie hitting #1 twice. That is because he tells a story about Stevie breaking a tie for most #1 hits by an American artist before he plays "Sir Duke". And he makes a mistake! He says there was a 4 way tie that Stevie broke. Except it was a 5 way tie because Casey omitted the Eagles. "Hotel California" was their 4th #1 hit with that hitting the top just 2 weeks earlier which is probably the reason the staff goofed. So Casey is misleading maybe on purpose about one chart feat relating to #1 and then makes a mistake about another chart feat about it! Btw, those 3 artists hitting #1 for a second time in 1977 did it in 3 consecutive weeks. And they ended up being the only 3 artists to hit #1 twice in all of 1977.
