On February 21, 1987 Casey introduced "Ballerina Girl" as Lionel Richie's 13th top 10 of the 1980s. He wouldn't hit the top 10 again in that decade (or any other). This would allow Madonna who was in 2nd place at that time with 11 to overtake him. She would later have "La Isla Bonita", "Who's That Girl", "Causing A Commotion", "Like A Prayer", "Express Yourself" and "Cherish". Jinx for Richie; reverse jinx for Madonna. Lionel Richie did make the Top 10 on R&R in 1992 in the Casey's Top 40 era with "Do It To Me".

On this week's 1980 show Casey said w/Desire the team of Karl Richardson, Albhy Galuten, Barry Gibb and Andy Gibb were batting six for six with top tenners. They'd never reach top ten base again.

On 2/21/87, Casey suggested that we might be hearing a lot more from Billy Vera. Nope.

On 2/21/87, Casey suggested that we might be hearing a lot more from Billy Vera. Nope. But after "At This Moment" was a re-released hit, Rhino re-released "I Can Take Care of Myself" as a single but it never returned to Billboard's Hot 100.

I remember that song being the Sure Shot on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 the weekend of February 7, 1987.

That Feb. 7, 1987 week Bruce Vidal (whatever happened to him?) was guest hosting for Rick Dees on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 (In the Chicago market at the Feb. 1987 time WKQX Q 101 FM was carring Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 Sunday mornings).

On this week's Supersized 1978 show Casey said David Gates hadn't left popular Bread, he was just moonlighting. Bread would never reach the Hot 100 again.

In another Supersized 1978 jinx Casey said hot ED and JFC were debuting with their 5th straight top 40. Their next release would miss the countdown and they'd only get there once more.

If either of his songs should have had a second chance on the charts it was "I Can Take Care Of Myself" and not "At This Moment."

Something that was mentioned in the 80s thread: Casey sort of reverse-jinxed vocal groups in general in the 3/12/88 show. He told a big story about their decline in the 1980s leading in to Expose’s “Seasons Change”, one of only two #1’s by such acts thus far in the decade (“Venus”, by Bananarama, was the other). Starting in 1989 a new surge of vocal groups, male and female, started topping the charts and continued to frequently do so in the 1990s and after.

On 3/12/77 Casey said that Steve Miller might hit #1 the following week with "Fly Like an Eagle", giving him two chart toppers in a row. Instead the eagle crashed into the branches of an "Evergreen" tree.

Steve Miller would hit # 1 for the third & final time with "Abracadabra" in 1982.
