On this week's 1981 show Casey said Diana and Lionel were gonna try to get back to #1 to tie the rock era record. Arthur would hold tough the next week, then Endless Love would began to descent. It's also too bad Kim Carnes and her song "Bette Davis Eyes" didn't rebound to #1 for a 3rd. time to tie the rock era record after she was knocked out by Air Supply's "The One That You Love".

On the show from SiriusXM (10-18-1975) Casey introduced the song at #10, Who Loves You by the Four Seasons, as possibly heading toward the top. The song would peak at #3.

Double jinx,
On this week's 1979 show Turbo Casey said that Michael Johnson's hits are "coming later than (fellow Chad Mitchell Trio member) John Denver but they're coming." Even though he would have later country success, he would never reach the Top 40 again. And BTW, John Denver would only get there twice more.

"Who Loves You" by The Four Seasons did make the Opus 75 year-end countdown at #98, that's why I like it because they made up for big classic AT40 snubs!

"Who Loves You" by The Four Seasons did make the Opus 75 year-end countdown at #98, that's why I like it because they made up for big classic AT40 snubs! I did a 1975 year end countdown based on Broadcasting Magazine's chart. Broadcasting magazine was an industry magazine that mostly focused on TV & Radio from a revenue standpoint--but did publish radio only airplay charts from Jan 1973-Jan 1980. Who Loves placed at #31 on that survey. It was also on the Radio & Records year end at #67.
As indicated both Billboard & Cash Box did not list the song on their 1975 year end charts. Record World didn't have a full comprehensive year end chart during the life of the magazine (1964-1982).

Casey suggested that James Taylor was headed to the top with Fire & Rain, on the 10-24-70 show, when the song moved from #10 to #6. The song would peak at #3.
I wonder if this was one of the first 'misses' during an AT40 show by Mr. Kasem.

Possible reverse jinx on 10/22/77: Casey introed Judy Collins' "Send In the Clowns" by noting that it moved up from 40 to 36, making the exact same move as it had when it first charted in 1975. But in 1975 it peaked at #36, while the second time around it continued to move higher, eventually peaking at #19.
A real jinx occurred later in the show when Casey said that when Johnny Rivers' then-current hit ("Swayin' To the Music") fell off, chances were that he'd be back soon with another remake. Johnny's followup, "Curious Mind (Um, Um, Um, Um, Um, Um)", a remake of a Major Lance song, just missed AT40 at #41, and thereafter he never again made the Hot 100.

'Frampton Comes Alive' probably did eventually exceed 'Tapestry' in sales, but Casey jinxed them both: 'Rumours' would soon take the best-selling LP title.

A couple from last week's 1983 show. Casey listed Paul Anka as the only act to reach solo, in a duet and in a trio. He would be joined by Kenny just 1 year later when he charted with Kimi and Jimmy. Speaking of Gambler Casey mentioned he had the most top tenners after reaching the age of 40. But countdown 'Islands would be his last and he would only reach the top 40 a few more times.

You must have listened to the 1983 show on October 18, 2020 on internet station Star1079.com

Methinks there's more than one jinx going on in here...

There was kind of a jinxy quality to Casey's lead-in to Air Supply's "Young Love" on 10/23/82, when he made a big point of noting that their first seven singles had all made the top 5. But this song ended that streak by stalling out at #38, and they made the top 5 or top 10 only once more.
More directly, later in the show Casey introed Juice Newton's "Break It To Me Gently", at #11, by saying "Here's a singer whose first four hits have made the top 10, and it looks like this one may do it as well." The song went no further, and Juice had no more top 10 pop hits (though she did have more country chart success later.)

Reverse jinx on this week's 1983 show, where Casey mentioned that John Mellencamp wanted to drop the "Cougar" from his stage name. By the time the 90's rolled around, he was solely billed by his birth name, completely de-Cougared, showing he stayed true to his word.
