The next times where 2 different songs with the same title were in the top 40 were in: 1988 - "Don't Be Cruel" - One by Bobby Brown, another by Cheap Trick 1990 - "Hold On" - One by Wilson Phillips, another by En Vogue Earlier this year was “Die For You” by both The Weeknd and Joji. Ryan mentioned on the Hot AC show that there’s a mash up of the two. And I forgot to mention in June 1998 during the early months of the Second Casey AT40 era there were 2 different songs titled "Stop" in the top 40 - one by the Spice Girls, the other by Merideth Brooks.

Is that the overplayed program back in the days of XM Radio, 2007 or so?

This week's optional extras; I think both are the same as before. B: April 9, 1988:Hour #1: "Wild Thing" - Tone Loc Hour #2: "Everything Your Heart Desires" - Hall & Oates Hour #3: "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me" - Paula Abdul Hour #4: "One More Try" - George Michael None of these was on that week's Hot 100. The George Michael and Hall & Oates songs entered it the following week (which was guest hosted), Tone Loc hit #2 in February 1989, and Paula Abdul's first charted at #88 in late 1988, then returned to hit #3 a year later. George also came in at #40, the only one in all of 88 to go right into the countdown on their debut week. So they went with two songs that would been in the Hot 100 within a week, a song from late 1988, and the Paula Abdul cut, which didn't hit the top 40 until October 1989! Quite a spread of extras. If only Premiere could've somehow incorporated Casey's Top 40 from 1989 into the 80's series, they wouldn't have had to figure out how to work all the '89 extras into the 1988 shows. But we won't go there again...

On this weekend's A show presentation from 4/12/80,Casey mentioned that Cliff Richard reached the top forty in the 50's,60's,70's & 80's-Three other singers managed to pull that off:Neil Sedaka,Elvis Presley,& Paul Anka-Granted,Elvis' appearance was posthumous but it still counts.

Upon hearing this on WWIS earlier, I thought 'What about Sinatra?', as I knew "New York, New York" would soon be in the 40. But no, after scoring at least one top 40 single every year between 1964 and '69, including two #1s, The Chairman had been shut out of the 40 since "My Way" (written by another on this short list, Anka) reached #27 in spring '69. Best he could manage in the '70s was #47 in 1975 with "I Believe I'm Gonna Love You".

Is that the overplayed program back in the days of XM Radio, 2007 or so? Yes. XM played this show during the initial Dabue of AT40 on XM, the marathon on Aug 6th 2006. An then played it 4 times in 2007. On April 1st, replayed on April 5th then May 6th, replaced on May 10th. I really wouldnt call that overplaying though. I'd call it 1 extra play in May that likley should not of happened. Course XM only aired AT40 for a lil over 3 yrs. (technically they still do but only on the 70s channel) But it was originally on AT40 Flashback!!!!

Interesting LDD on the '80 show, and a non-overdone LDD song: "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". Looked up Niue both on Wiki and in my World Atlas. Definitely an isolated island--only 2,000 people live there now, vs 3,400 in '80. Has an airport, but only a twice-weekly Air New Zealand flight to/from Auckland. The island is a Kiwi possession. Between the multiple islands of the kingdom of Tonga to the west and the more populous New Zealand-controlled Cook islands to the east. Photos look very inviting.

Frank Sinatra's reign on the Billboard pop singles chart began in July 1940 when he reached # 1 with "I'll Never Smile Again"-He sang with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra at that time.

And as for the other LDD in the '80 show, I guess we all can read into it a bit more than what was said.

I can name three other artists who achieved that feat: Johnny Mathis (He barely snuck into the Top 40 in 1982 with "Friends In Love", a duet with Dionne Warwick) Ray Charles (He snuck in just in the nick of time for the '80's with "I'll Be Good To You", from December 1989. It was a collaboration with Chaka Khan and Quincy Jones.) and finally, Ben E. King (This was probably the most notable of these seven examples in that Ben E. King was the only one to hit the Top Ten in all four decades. Casey made a big deal about this feat in late 1986 when "Stand By Me" made the Top Ten in its re-release. Of course, Ben's lead vocals on Drifters songs are counted, not just his solo hits.)
