On 1/18/86, Casey introed Pat Benatar's "Sex as a Weapon" (at its peak position of #28) with a recap of her chart history, and said that despite 14 top 40 hits she was "still looking for that big #1." She never found it; afterward she only had one more top 40 hit ("All Fired Up", which reached #19 in 1988.) Pat should've went to #1

On 1/31/81, Casey responded to a listener question about who had top 40 hits in the most consecutive years, and among the several artists he ranked in that list were Paul McCartney, hitting each year form 1964 to 1980. He noted that "Paul's streak is still alive", but ultimately 1981 would be his first miss.

On this week's 1976 show Casey was at it again saying Miracles "have charted for 17 straight years". They never reached the Hot 100 again.

On this week's 1976 show, Casey said Elt "was headed for another big #1" with 'Funk. It would climb from #17 to #14 two weeks later before plummeting outta the top 40 the week after that!

A reverse jinx in the September 12, 1981 AT40 guest hosted by Gary Owens. He mentions, leading into "For Your Eyes Only", that, while James Bond movies have generated the most top 40 hits, the fictional characters with the most movie adaptations are Dracula, Sherlock Holmes and Tarzan, and that you don't see many hits from those films. 18 years later, Phil Collins hit with "You'll Be In My Heart" from the Disney version of Tarzan.

On this week's 1979 show Casey said #2 Pointer Sisters "might not be done climbing yet". Fire would freeze right there. Did some station(s) run 1979 this week? I thought 2/28/76 was the sole '70s offering.

I thought 2/28/76 was the sole '70s offering. Sirius XM 70s on 7 aired February 24, 1979 (which Premiere has never done.) Last week they did February 19, 1977 in which Casey said Kenny Nolan's "I Like Dreamin'" looked like a potential #1. It topped out at #3.

On this week's '70's show from 3/9/74, the #24 song was the great "Mighty Love, Pt.1" by the Spinners, which was #1 on the R&B chart. In the song's outro, Casey commented that the song was also heading for #1 on AT40. It would only peak at #20.

On the same show Casey said Eddie Kendricks last record reached #1 and this one could get there as well. Boogie would stall right there at #2. Yeah, I knew that Casey had "jinxed" a later song, but I forgot to make a note of which one it was. Thanks for filling me in.

On this week's 1978 show Casey said "here is a duo that is really hot w/their 5th consecutive top 40". ED & JFC would miss the top 40 with their very next single and would only get there one more time.

Interesting "jinx" on this week's 1986 "B" show: Casey said that Paul McCartney was just 1 behind Bing Crosby for the most top 10 hits in chart history. It would take him 29 years to tie as "FourFiveSeconds", which he backs up Rihanna and Kanye West, is currently top 10.

On this week's 1976 show, Casey introed Maxine Nightingale saying "this is what the track record of a #1 song looks like, she is headed in that direction". Right Back would stall at #2.

On the 3/31/73 show, Casey predicted that Gladys Knight would be #1 the following week when "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" ended up leaping 10-1.

On this week's 1985 show, Casey said that the Commodores had survived the departure of lead singer Lionel Richie. Turns out "Nightshift" would be the only top 40 hit they'd have after he left.

Casey commented on the #15 debut for the Jackson Five's "Never Can Say Goodbye". 'I do believe it's headed for #1."
Sorry Casey. Should have set your sights one notch lower. 'Course I would've said the same thing.
