Casey mentions that the Viscounts' "Harlem Nocturne" holds the record for the longest time between first hitting the Hot 100 and hitting the top 40 in connection with "I've Never Been to Me" which is in second place(not anymore). It's just short of 6 years for the Viscounts hit so it's going to require a 6 year range to break the record. So "At This Moment" and "When I'm With You" do not break that record. Casey implies that it has to be the same recording so Whitesnake's "Fool For Your Loving" and Rod Stewart's "This Old Heart of Mine" which took 9 and 14 years, respectively, to hit the top 40 do not count since those were different recordings. It's not the current AT40 hit "Murder on the Dance Floor" which was recorded in 2001 as that never charted at all then. A lot of honorable mentions but someone else may have to reveal the new record holder. This is the last of 3 weeks in a row in which no R&R #1 song is on AT40. Starting with "Physical" 24 of out 25 weeks the #1 song on AT40 did not hit #1 on R&R. "Ebony & Ivory" which debuted the next week is the hit that ended that stretch. The 1 week that there was a song which hit #1 on both charts, it was "I Can't Go For That" on top. And that spent 8 weeks at #1 on R&R tying it with "Every Breath You Take" for the most weeks on top in the 80s on their chart. Replaced at #1 by "Open Arms" which spent 7 weeks there.

A lot of honorable mentions but someone else may have to reveal the new record holder. Ryan mentioned something similar on AT40 last year when "Sure Thing" by Miguel was on the chart, 13 years after its first release. The record holder for longest wait between original release date and first hitting the Top 40 was "Shaving Cream" at about 29 years (I was hoping they would play a drop of it but they didn't). He didn't say "Sure Thing" was in 2nd place but I believe at the time, that would have gone to "What A Wonderful World" at about 21 years. And it looks like "Murder On The Dancefloor" at 22+ years is now in 2nd place.

This is the last of 3 weeks in a row in which no R&R #1 song is on AT40. At first, I was confused by this statement - I was like, "Wait a minute - several #1 songs on the R&R chart were on this week's chart. But when I read on, I saw that you meant that no songs that hit #1 on both R&R and AT40 were on the chart (as "I Can't Go For That", which was the only of those songs on the chart for two and a half months, had spent its last week in the Top 40 on March 13). Yeah, the charts were quite diverse around that time - and nearly every song that hit #1 on one chart and not the other spent quite a long time at the top. "Physical" (10 weeks), "Centerfold" (6 weeks), and "I Love Rock & Roll" (7 weeks) practically made up the entire 24/25 week "almost streak". Only "Chariots Of Fire" spent a single week on top. Over on R&R, there was "Waiting For A Girl Like You" (6 weeks), "Open Arms" (7 weeks), and "Don't Talk To Strangers (5 weeks). Even "I Can't Go For That" spent a considerably longer time at the top (8 actual weeks and 6 that were counted by R&R, who would ignore any skipped weeks). There was also a one-weeker on R&R, which would be "Make A Move On Me", sandwiched in between the Journey and Rick Springfield songs. It was a slightly longer "almost streak" on R&R, as "Ebony And Ivory" got to #1 there two weeks later than it did on the Hot 100 and "Private Eyes" vacated the #1 spot a week earlier on R&R than on the Hot 100. Interesting factoid you pointed out there, dukelightning!

Casey said the Oak Ridge Boys held the record for the group with the most former members. Santana has long since obliterated their record, currently boasting more than 60.

On this week's A show presentation from 4/3/82,Casey read a QL (Question Letter) from a listener who wanted to know if any top forty hits were later turned into movies-The answers were "Ode To Billie Joe","Convoy","The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia","Harper Valley PTA","The Gambler",& "Coward Of The County"-In 1984,a movie called "Rhinestone" was released-It was loosely based on Glen Campbell's 1975 hit "Rhinestone Cowboy"-It starred Sylvester Stallone & Dolly Parton-Unfortunately,it flopped at the box office.

KZOY is playing the Top 2 of the 4/3/1982 show instead of 4/6/1985; the opposite could end up happening tomorrow.

A fantasy we created about people and places as we like them to be. But you know what truth is? It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with this morning. The same one you are gonna make love to tonight. That's truth. That's love.
