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.

In a reverse jinx, on this week's 1977 show Casey said ABBA was trying for #1 next week. It would take an extra panel but Dancing Queen reached #1.

This week, Casey suggests that Queen and Men At Work each have a shot at overtaking Blondie as the group with the most #1 hits of the 1980s. None of those three artists would even hit the top 40 again.

None of those three artists would even hit the top 40 again. Queen did make Shadoe AT40 twice more in the 1990's, with the 1992 re-release of "Bohemian Rhaspody" and the 1993 live duet with George Michael of "Somebody to Love".

I think this means that Dancing Queen needed to be bought not only by Dorothy Kilgallen, Steve Allen, Arlene Francis and Bennett Cerf, but also by Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, and...ummmm...uhhhh....aww screw it you guys know where I'm going with this.

On AT40: The 70's 3/31/1973 Casey predicted for next week's #1 it would be "Neither One of Us" by Gladys Knight and the Pips, but next week the #1 song would be Vicki Lawrence with "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia" even though that next week was the AT40 Top 40 Hits of the Past 5 Years special.

And if there should be a remake any time soon, it could get a boost from Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin!

Unlike some previous reissues, "Bohemian Rhapsody" also recharted in Radio & Records and thus made CT40 in 1992; it peaked at #3 that time, five notches higher than on the same chart in 1976. The Queen/George Michael collab mentioned reached #11 in R&R a year later.

Casey, while wrong, was right. It's one of the all-time chart injustices.

In a reverse jinx on this week's 1979 show, Casey said with their chart action, Reunited looked like a #1 record for P&H.
