I was wondering if anybody wanted to have AT40/AT10/AT20/Casey's Top 40/20 Trivia. Heres the idea. i will ask the first question who ever get it right will ask the next one and so on. If anybody is Game heres the first question. For a first one here i go. name the classic late 70's/early 80's hit that Casey never got to announce until twenty years after it spent it's one week on a broadcast version of the show and why did he not get the announce this classic ground breaking hit when it was originally a top 40 hit?

The song is "Clones" by Alice Cooper. He didn't get to introduce it because he did a special show for the only week it was in the top 40.

I believe the answer is Rappers Delight by the Sugarhill Gang, the first rap record ever to make the top 40. It debuted at #37 on 1/5/80 when Casey was counting down the top 50 hits of the 70s. Then it peaked the following week at #36, but Casey never played it because Mike Cleary was guest host. When Casey returned for the 1/19/80 show, RD fell out of the top 40.

The Ansewer indeed was Rappers Delight. i would Hardly Consider Clones A Clasic But it was a great song. Next Question name 4 songs that both Casey and Shadoe got to announce as current chart hits On AT40

How about: Roll With It Hands To Heaven Hold On to the Night Make Me Lose Control
(Or is there a trick I'm not seeing here?)
Here's one: Which top-3 hit from one of Canada's most successful artists failed to make a year-end countdown because it fell through the cracks of a change in the year-end show methodology?

One has to be "Into the Night" by Benny Mardones. It was a top 40 hit in 1980 and 1989.

That wasn't clear from the original question. The first things that come to mind (besides Into The Night) are Send Me an Angel from Real Life and December 1963 from the Four Seasons, though each was slightly remixed.

Another one was "Red Red Wine" by UB40. Charted originally in 1984, then reached #1 in 1988.

the answer to the question about the Canadian artist is Gordon Lightfoot, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It peaked at #2 in Nov 76 but didn't make either 76 or 77 year end countdown. Also Rock N Me by Steve Miller Band, which hit #1, didn't make either YE countdown.

The other song is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, originally hit in 76, then re-released in 92 from the movie "Wayne's World."

Most of you were right but Send me An Agel was rerecorded and relased in a new version as Send Me An Angel 89. it does not count. the ones for the record that do count were Red Red Wine, Into The Night, December 1963 (Oh What A Night) and Bohemin Rahapsody (I hope i Spelled that right).
I'm going to go back to coldcardinal what asked a question earlier the'll have to let us know what answer in right since I'm not sure of the right answer
Here's one: Which top-3 hit from one of Canada's most successful artists failed to make a year-end countdown because it fell through the cracks of a change in the year-end show methodology? I'm going to guess "Wheeew Does My Hear Beat Now By Celine But i Could Be Wrong coldcardinal You'll have to let yus Know if i'm right.

Actually, dougray2 got the correct answer above (sorry for not chiming in earlier to verify): the answer to the question about the Canadian artist is Gordon Lightfoot, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It peaked at #2 in Nov 76 but didn't make either 76 or 77 year end countdown. Also Rock N Me by Steve Miller Band, which hit #1, didn't make either YE countdown. Interestingly, I considered using Rock N Me because that's probably the most peculiar year-end snub -- but Edmund Fitzgerald is probably my favorite song of the '70s, and I was completely baffled at its omission before I read about the change in YE formats between '76 and '77.

I've got a good one for you: In the Classic AT40 Era, (1970 to 1995), which record label had the longest string of consecutive No. 1 hits on the BB Hot 100, and when did it happen? By "consecutive No. 1's," I mean that a single released on this particular label gets bumped off the top by another record on this same label, then another release on the very same label comes along and knocks THAT single from the top slot, and so on and so forth. Good luck!

I believe the answer is RSO records with 21 consecutive weeks at #1 with 6 songs from Dec 77 through May 78.
