I meant ages in the top 40 anyway. But that wasn't the listener question.

Weekend of 8/5....8/6/88!! www.charismusicgroup.com/Cue%20Sheets/1988-0806.pdfCasey's final show last played 2018 w/extras: Hour #1: "The Loco-Motion" - Kylie Minogue Hour #2: "Domino Dancing" - The Pet Shop Boys Hour #3: "I Don't Want Your Love" - Duran Duran Hour #4: "What I Am" - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians It actually last aired in 2019 as a "B" show. I know this is the 35th anniversary of this show and there hasn't been a 1988 standalone since May, but it annoys me that yet again a show that hasn't aired in over five years (8/2/1980, which had its one and only airing eight years ago) is skipped over for one that last aired four years ago. One thing is clear, of course - even if it is not used: If the A-B system were applied to all vintages and some stations always chose the "B" show, the waiting time at many a show would be reduced.

I’m shocked. Another Craig chaquico story. Guy is a good guitarist but there’s plenty of talent in that band and lord do we a lot about that guy!

Maybe he was the only member of the group willing to give an interview to the AT40 staff at the time. More than likely they were able to get several stories from an interview with him and used them from time to time.

'Four SHORT weeks and already at number 15'--a bit of hype from Casey there. Hitting #15 in a song's fourth chart week isn't all that special.

Territory FM from Darwin,Australia now running '84. Started at 3:30 eastern time. This station doesn't run the show at consistent times. They alternate 70's and 80's on a weekly basis.

I wonder when the next AT40: The 80's 1981 show will take place, maybe the 3rd. weekend of August 2023 for the 8/22/1981 show? And that show could have as an OPTIONAL EXTRA Randy Meiser's "Hearts on Fire" in memory of this Eagles singer.
If 8/16/1980 gets featured in August 2023, it could be the Eagles "Seven Bridges Road" in memory of Randy Meiser as an OPTIONAL EXTRA.

Listening to Eddy Grant's "Romancing the Stone" makes me wonder why producers will commission a song for a film and then not use it. I seem to recall that RTS wasn't the only case of this. I think CSN's "War Games" was another.

I liked the rodent story on AT40. Have there been any other acts named after rodents that have hit the Top 40 since Ratt? Off of the top of my head, I can only name two alternative bands from the 90's-Squirrel Nut Zippers and Modest Mouse, but I don't think they hit the pop chart. Funny that Van Halen was almost called Rat Salad (I think it might have had something to do with a classic track on Black Sabbath's Paranoid album)
