Listening to the '86 show on WMGN... Casey played "The Rain" by Oran 'Juice' Jones (it debuted at #31) and they omitted the spoken part at the end (which was pretty much the reason the song was a hit in the first place). Guess they were waiting to see whether it became a bigger hit?

Is anyone else having issues with the KRTZ player? They're playing "Oh No" by the Commodores and it's all choppy. EDIT: It was resolved going into the first commercial break.

So based on what's on top of the page, WODC will likely go 70s this week, with a four hour 1979 show.

How ironic that Casey would mention that the Bee Gees were the top act of the 70s and then play "He's a Liar". Because I think he is a liar when he says that. In my book, Elton John was the top act of the 70s. Of course I don't have any books that I wrote but Joel Whitburn does and he always lists Elt as the #1 artist of the 70s. Carl Carlton is just a week away with his 7 weeks at #2 on the soul chart from tying the record on that chart. He will get that 8th week at #2 and then settle for tying the record which was set by Betty Wright with "Clean Up Woman" for most weeks at #2. So it was not just the pop chart where the records for most weeks at #2 or #1 for that matter, were being tied or broken in this time frame. Casey finally changed his tune about the #1 act of the 70s. Not sure if they just realized the fallacy of their previous statements or whether it was simply because in 1997, he was basing his chart data on R&R. And by that measure, Elton had better numbers the Bee Gees. Not sure if that is the case about R&R or not actually. But in a promo for the 10/11/97 CT40, Casey said, "The #1 act of the 70s is still rewriting the record books here in the 90s. Elton John just released "Candle in the Wind '97" and it sold more copies in one week than any other single in history. Selling well over 3 million in the US alone".

And on the following show for Casey's Hot 20 (10/18/1997), Casey quotes that same reference as Elton John debuts with "Something About The Way You Look Tonight". And IMO, Sir Elt is undoubtedly the #1 act of the 1970s, no question.

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 10/19/85 2nd Guess - 10/25/86
Next two weeks are going to be dicey as far as guesses go...I would have had 10/27/84 as a lock for the last weekend in October if '84 hadn't already been played this month. So, we'll go with an 1985 show that hasn't been aired since 2009. The '86 show hasn't aired since 2011, and I can't come up with another great option for 1986 until December...

I'll also go with 1985 next weekend, with 10/23/1982 as a dark horse (last aired in 2013). Could be paired together also. Maybe either 10/18/1980 or 10/25/1980 could be also paired with 1985. I'm hoping for the new 11/22/1980 show to air in November, guessing the weekend of 11/19.
I still think 10/27/1984 could air the following weekend - despite three weeks between show dates, there'll be four weeks in between airings. Otherwise 10/30/1982 could be a good pick for the last weekend of October (last aired in 2012, I think).
