"Stay" by Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs is one of the featured "AT40 Archive" songs from this week's A show presentation from 8/16/80-It topped the pop chart in the fall of 1960 & has the distinction of being the shortest song to ever reach # 1-It clocks in at 1:36-Four years later,in 1964,The Four Seasons peaked at # 16 with their version-In the summer of 1978,Jackson Browne reached # 20 with his live rendition-Obviously,"Stay" is a certifiable rock & roll classic. I've gotten so used to hearing "Stay" together with "The Load-Out" that it seems odd now to hear it by itself, although that was normal on top 40 radio in '78. Similar to hearing "We Are the Champions" without "We Will Rock You".

The opening of ONJ's "Magic" sounds like the opening of #DN's "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)"? Uhm... really? That seems like quite the streeeeeeetch story to try to introduce the #1 song on the 1980 show, other than trying to make some backhanded acknowledgement that AT40 had just turned 10 years old. Was this just their way of making up for not mentioning that anniversary in the previous 6 weeks?

I always love hearing the ads on WWIS for Simmons roofing. (Yes, the owner is Gene Simmons, so the ad says!)

4th hour optional extra "I'm Alright" Kenny Loggins was replaced with "Deep Inside My Heart" Randy Meisner. ...but only on some stations, probably. Willing to bet others will still have "I'm Alright".

Kinda takes away the “magic” of ONJ’s third week at #1.

I will tell you all what really could be copycat songs right now in 2023 that nobody has never mentioned: “Anti-Hero” by Taylor Swift, completely copies “Me” by Paula Cole And “Made You Look” by Meghan Trainor has some rhythms similar to “Tell Her No” by Juice Newton. Listen completely and compare, you’ll see. And everything else also copies and rips off everything else else because lol nothing isn't a rip-off anymore assuming there ever was anything that was ever not a rip-off lololololololololololol

I love the show but I never understood the need for the Top 3 recap at the beginning of the show when Casey is just going to play them again at the end.
