It would be interesting if Kylie's latest hit does make it to Ryan's AT40, since it's very rare for recording acts from the 1980s to hit the top 40 these days. Madonna (currently), Elton John and Kate Bush are the only recent ones I can think of.

I know this is Casey’s last show and I personally haven’t heard the outro. I’ll listen for the sign off to see if he gives a hint. Does shadoe Stevens start the following week?

Yes, Shadoe took over the following week. The only real "hint" Casey gave at the end of 8/6/88 was that his typical line of "join me next week and again we'll count down the 40 top hits in the land" was omitted from the show's closing. I believe he does promo his America's Top 10 TV show though.

Heads-up for anyone recording Casey's last original show today on WWIS--Jackson County Fair live remotes are extending the show's run time. Hour three is starting now at :08 after the top of the hour.

Heads-up for anyone recording Casey's last original show today on WWIS--Jackson County Fair live remotes are extending the show's run time. Hour three is starting now at :08 after the top of the hour. This brings back memories of when I heard that exact show ten years ago on WWIS when they had the fair; I remember listening to the last hour on WGHN because I couldn't take it anymore. For fun, I went back quite a ways to find posts from that time: They should have Casey appearing at one of the fairs...that would increase attendance! Wow...AT40 on WWIS really running late today. They are at #1 in the 70s countdown...probably won't be on until 2:30pm ET, I bet. 2:34pm. The show is STILL on at 7:07pm ET going into #4...lots of county fair updates. It started late, of course, but usually my recording of 4 hrs, 30 minutes is enough to get it all, but not today. As someone who's lived all his life in the mid to major markets of Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa this is foreign to me. What do you talk about pertaining to a fair so much that a show runs behind this far apparently? The state fair is here and I never hear anyone talk about it. Jacksonville has a big one in October, never heard anything much about it on the radio. Seriously, what are they talking about? Pig contest? Charlie Pride tribute band in concert? What? I can't remember everything being discussed in the segments, but during one of them they interviewed a girl that won a "Miss Jackson County Fair" pageant or some such and in another they were talking with a guy who was either nervous about being on the radio or he didn't know what he was talking about because every fourth or fifth word out of his mouth was "uh". This part below in bold gives an idea of what time the show could end today: I went on Wikipedia to discover that the Black River Falls market is rather tiny. The two WWIS stations are the only radio stations in the area. That would make sense since they are able to air weekly death notices & little league baseball games. So the Jackson County Fair must be like their Super Bowl; an event you just simply don't miss. Can't knock the station for doing their coverage. BTW, I had the patience to stick around and listen to the show to the very end at 7:45 pm.

I’ve liked Kylie Minogue since she released “I Should Be So Lucky” and “The Locomotion” in 1988. I think the last time she had a top 40 hit in the US was “Love At First Sight” in 2002. Yet she’s huge in her home country of Australia and Europe. Go Figure. And in 2004 Kylie's songs "Slow" and "Red Blooded Woman" missed hitting Ryan Seacrest's AT40 chart - or did one of these? I thought it was very ironic that before Kylie’s “Locomotion” extra, Larry said something about how she is one of the few to hit the charts a decade later. Could happen for the third time with her new song “Padam Padam”. I am thinking the last time we heard from her on the AT40 was with the song “Come Into My World”, from January 2003. Her voice still sounds awesome after 20 years. Also, come on Premiere! Lol. It’s Casey’s last AT40 for the next 10 years. They should have had the extended closing music right to the end.

Quoting Casey's close from the original show of 8/6/1988:
My name's Casey Kasem. Till next time, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
Haven't heard the Premiere version, so not sure if or how they tweaked the closing (like they did on the 6/4/1988 show).

Both counties are in their core coverage area.

On the AT40: The 80's 7/28/1984 show Casey mentioned several other acts to come from Montreal, Quebec, Canada besides Corey Hart: Andy Kim, Gino Vanelli, France Joli, Aldo Nova, April Wine, the Bells, and Men Without Hats. Casey forgot to mention the Montreal duo named Cheri who hit #39 in 1982 with "Murphy's Law", and did a singer 2 years later in 1986 named Nancy Martinez who made AT40 with "For Tonight" come from Montreal, Quebec, Canada or not? I forgot to mention post 1984 there was one more Montreal, Canada singer to make the top 40 - Celine Dion - she started to hit the top 40 in the 1990's and she continued into the 2000's. And in the 2000's, Simple Plan would join the list of Montreal acts to hit the top 40, as they had a streak of hits then.

I am thinking the last time we heard from her on the AT40 was with the song “Come Into My World”, from January 2003. Correct. "Slow" did reach R&R's Top 40, but only made it to #33 - not good enough to make it onto AT40, that early (February 2004) into the Seacrest era.

Till next time, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.Haven't heard the Premiere version, so not sure if or how they tweaked the closing (like they did on the 6/4/1988 show). I have recordings of the Premiere rebroadcasts from 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2019. On all of them, Casey's close is as follows: My name's Casey Kasem. By the way, don't forget to catch a glimpse of your favorite stars each week as I count them down on my TV show, America's Top Ten. Til then, keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars.Did Premiere drop in the close from a different show in place of what Casey actually said in this show? They replaced the last words he ever said in his original tenure as AT40 host with something he didn't actually say that week? Why? What purpose does that possibly serve? It never would have occurred to me that the close wasn't authentic, it as makes perfect sense to me that Casey would have wanted to promote his ongoing appearances on America's Top Ten. Casey states the correct date earlier in the show outro, so at least the beginning of the show outro appears to be authentic. I checked my recordings of the Premiere rebroadcasts of Casey's last few shows before the final one, on 7/9, 7/16, and 7/23 (7/30 was guest hosted). On those recordings, Casey's close is the same as on the 8/6/88 Premiere rebroadcast, except that on those earlier shows, after "My name is Casey Kasem", he says, "Join me again next week, and we'll count down the 40 most popular hits in the U.S.A.". That sentence does not appear on 8/6. So it's looking like this: --On the 8/6 show, Casey's close was worded differently than it had been on other recent shows. Most notably, he dropped the second and third of the four sentences he usually said ("Join me again next week, and we'll count down the 40 most popular hits in the U.S.A." and "By the way, don't forget to catch a glimpse of your favorite stars each week as I count them down on my TV show, America's Top Ten."). His final sentence was also worded a little differently, starting with "Til next time" rather than "Til then", presumably because the dropping of the second sentence left no "then" to reference. --Instead of giving us what Casey actually said in his close on 8/6, Premiere replaced it with his close from one of the preceding shows, but with the third sentence edited out (presumably because it wouldn't make any sense for Casey to have said that sentence on his last show). Aside from that, Premiere gave us what Casey had said on the preceding shows, not what he said on 8/6. This includes one sentence that he didn't say at all on 8/6, and one sentence that he worded differently on 8/6. With all due respect....What the @#$*? I don't like it when Premiere tinkers with the shows like this, but I can usually at least understand what they're trying to accomplish, even if I don't like what they're doing. With this one, I am at a complete loss as to what purpose this edit could possibly serve. It has left those of us who listen to the rebroadcasts, but don't have collections of the original shows, thinking that Casey's final words on his final show were something other than what he actually said. My sense is that this show hasn't been touched in years, so this edit isn't one of the "improvements for a better listening experience" Premiere has been making over the past few years, but is the way Shannon originally mastered the show back when the Premiere rebroadcasts began. Your guess is as good as mine as to why.

The final first Casey original run AT40 show where Casey said the "join me next week..." quote was the 7/23/1988 AT40 show (7/30/1988 AT40 was guest hosted by Daryl Hall and John Oates).

I remember being curious that Casey said nothing about leaving the show in his last broadcast. I even wrote a letter to the editor of Billboard, and it was actually printed! They also printed a reply from someone from ABC (I think her name was Susan Storms). She said ABC gave Casey the option of saying some sort of farewell, but he declined. Don't know if that's really true, but it's what they said publicly.
