The male lead singer of WTP, DID sound like a Britisher, though.

On 3/1/75, played by Premiere this week, Casey introduced George McCrae's "I Get Lifted", debuting at #37, by noting that after his chart-topping "Rock Your Baby", George "had a weak hit in between but this one looks like it's on its way." It went no higher.
At least Casey didn't jinx "My Eyes Adored You" or "Have You Never Been Mellow", both of which (especially HYNBM) he mentioned as potential #1's.

On this week's 1971 show, Casey said (#2) Can't Get Used To Losing You was Andy Williams biggest hit, but Love Story could top it. The latter would only reach #9.

When Barry White's song "I'll Do For You Anything You Want Me To" debuted at #40, I believe Casey mentioned he had five top 10 records in the last couple years and "He is going to do to again". The song stalled at #40 and dropped off. Haha! I remember that! SiriusXM played that last year. I thought I knew all the Barry White singles, but had never heard this one until then. Sounds almost like a parody! Casey's predictions can be pretty funny.

On this week's 1976 show, Casey says Barry Manilow "moves up only one surprising notch to #29". This One's For You would stall right there. I don't think this is a jinx either. I think old Barry himself might have jinxed this one. The first line of the song is, "This one will never sell..."
Fixed the typo's in the artist and song title for ya!

On this week's AT40 from 1988, Casey said that debuting Rick Springfield was trying to catch Phil Collins as the foreign singer with the most 1980s top 40s. Rock of Life would be not only Rick's last top 40, but final trip into the Hot 100, ever. And since then Phil ended the decade with three straight #1's - "Groovy Kind Of Love", "Two Hearts" and "Another Day In Paradise" (the last #1 of the '80s).

Rock of Life would be not only Rick's last top 40, but final trip into the Hot 100, ever. He didn't even pass Elton John who was in 2nd place at the time & "Elt" (as LVK likes to call him) had a couple more top 40s in the 1980s. I forgot who Casey said were in 4th & 5th place.

On last week's 1979 show, Casey said at #4 Donna's Heaven Knows was "shooting for #1". It would stall right there.

I guess Casey loved the charts as much as we did, and tried to guess where the songs were going in following weeks. I certainly got enough of them wrong too! Sometimes songs would still be popular in my area and getting lots of airplay, but all of a sudden start dropping on the Hot 100.

On this week's 1984 show, Casey said Men At Work and Queen were chasing 1st place Blondie as the 80s group with the most #1s. The former would never reach the top 40 again & Queen's last top 40 Radio Ga Ga was on that countdown, so Blondie, who themselves would never reach the top 40 again had nothing to worry about from those two.

On this week's '76 show, Casey said that Donny & Marie Osmond were at #14, and movin' up, with 'Deep purple'. The song would peak right there!

Casey was at it again, on the show from '77. He said 'Disco Lucy' was at #24, and movin' up. That's as high as it peaked!

On 4/13/74 (played last weekend by SXM), Casey said "At number 9, and I believe headed for number 1, Ringo Starr with 'Oh My My'". It peaked at #5.

I found it ironic in this week's 1979 show when Casey referred to the "unstoppable Bee Gees" debuting on the Hot 100 in the top 40 for a third straight time with "Love You Inside Out". After that song (which became their 6th straight #1), their four year hot streak promptly stopped.

Yes, whenever I hear "Love You Inside and Out", I pay close attention to the verse beginning with "Don't Try to Tell Me It's All Over" and replace it with lyrics along the line of:
Don't Try To Tell Me It's All Over" We will never have another #1 Our Next Song will be "He's a Liar" And it won't even get into the Top 20.
