On last week's 75 Casey reverse jinxed Lady Marmalade saying you could bet it was headed to #1.
Did he ever do the same w/C Aguilera's version??

No Casey rarely made that type of statement in those days, meaning the 90s and 2000s. A little too scripted then IMO. He certainly could have predicted it would hit the top when it moved 7-3 the week before it hit #1.

The group that the Knack knocked out of the #1 position...Chic. They had 4 top 10 hits in a year and a half and that huge #1 hit "Le Freak" and then poof gone! In fact Casey jinxed them on this week's 1979 show when he said w/two songs in the countdown you better keep an eye on Chic.

On this week's 1979 Casey said having two hits on the countdown was nothing for an act like BeeGees. They would do it three more weeks later that Spring with Tragedy/ Love You Inside Out. Then the Brothers would never come close to sniffing a double dip again.

In fact Casey jinxed them on this week's 1979 show when he said w/two songs in the countdown you better keep an eye on Chic. He should have focused on the guys behind Chic, Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. They produced Sister Sledge who would have two songs in the countdown themselves a few weeks later. Then they would do that again with Diana Ross in 1980. Not to mention their, mainly Nile Rodgers, various other exploits going forward such as The Power Station.

On this week's 1980 Casey said countdown Romeo wasn't a bad way for Fobert to launch a career. Steve would only graze the bottom of the Hot 100 once more.

In the 1988 show Casey mentions that Belinda Carlisle had her first (and only) #1 with “Heaven Is A Place On Earth” and it looked like her follow up “I Get Weak” was going to go to #1 as well. Well it didn’t, it almost got to #1 but had to settle for peaking at #2.

On this week's 1983, Casey said Criss Cross hadn't missed the top 20 yet. But his next release No Time For Talk wouldn't even crack the top 30.

In this week's 1976 show, Casey said Foghat (at#20) were taking a "slow ride" up the chart, with six weeks in the 20s. They ran out of gas before entering the teens.

On March 20, 1976, Casey said that Aerosmith was happy that "Dream On" flopped the first time... and disappointed that it was a huge hit the second time around since they felt it was the only song like that they had done and that would disappoint fans who'd want to hear more like it. Eventually, they recorded many more power ballads, particularly in their 80's-90's comeback era, and every album from "Permanent Vacation" on had at least one power ballad hit the charts with a long series particularly from "Get A Grip" with the Alicia Silverstone videos. Of course, this included their 1998 "Armageddon" hit "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing", which became their only #1 hit.

Casey said "Talk about a number 1" in reference to how quickly Maxine Nightingale's "Right Back Where We Started From" was climbing the chart. To quote Maxwell Smart, "Missed it by that much."

In a Supersized 76 jinx Casey said SWAT had spent a lot of time in the top tenner of TV ratings. It was soon to be cancelled.

On March 26, 1977, Casey said Natalie Cole's "I've Got Love On My Mind", which was at #12 and at the same time #1 on the soul chart, might become her first pop chart #1. That never happened with it or any other single; "I've Got Love..." peaked at #5, her highest charting pop hit (1988's "Pink Cadillac" matched it.) Not really a jinx, but here's an interesting example from the same show of a Casey fact quickly becoming obsolete: Casey told listeners that the longest running #1 of the rock era was Perez Prado's 1955 hit "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White", with 10 weeks on top, something that had not been achieved by anyone else in the 22 years under consideration. Before the end of 1977 Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" hit that mark which nobody else (according to the charts Casey cited) had been able to do since 1955. Casey also said all Lattimore spells now is H-I-T-S. He'd never reach the Hot 100 again.
