I vaguely remember seeing reports of this previously but did WPNC start the show early today or did they just have a very light commercial load? I turned it on about 3:30 and they were already starting #2. Casey's credits ended at 3:45.

WPNC didn't play H3S3 from 4/25/1981 (#12, the Elvis bonus song, #11, and the third hour AT40 Archives song), which brought it in under the wire by about 15 minutes.

H3S3 was restored to the show for the replay overnight. Speaking of which, now that I've heard both shows I have a couple questions about them: 1. Was this the only week where Casey did NOT mention Kenny Rogers as the uncredited duet partner to Dottie West on "What Are We Doin' In Love"? 2. I noticed that the 4/23/1988 show contains "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" and "One More Try", which are the first two songs that were still in the Hot 100 the week Shadoe took over for Casey. Both had obviously fallen out of the Top 40 by then. This has probably been answered already but what was the first show to include a song that was still in the Top 40 when Shadoe arrived and therefore was counted down by both of them?

Such a great show -- maybe my favorite 1986 show (along with 7/19/86) and one of the best of the 80's. Weird that its only airing since 2010 was as a 'B' show (in 2018). 5/3/86 was also featured in AT40 flashback around the turn of the century. Aka the 1st incarnation of AT40 80s retro broadcasts. I should have both broadcasts (2010 & 2001/2002). But definitely interested in grabbing the may 84 broadcast. I don't have anything from May although I do have a piece of that show from when I recorded it in 1984 from WRAR fm. IIRC farewell my summer love also debuts. I believe "Farewell My Summer Love" debuted on 6/23/84. There were some really good lost/forgotten hits during both May and June 1984. Most times you want to hear the album version of a hit, it is because you want to hear a longer version of a song you like. But there are 2 songs in this show with a different reason for wanting to hear the album version. People might want to hear the album version of "Mr. Sandman" because they prefer hearing the vocals of Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton in the song. Coming up will be "While You See a Chance" and people would want to hear the album version of that to avoid having to hear the bad edit on the single ('eeeee'). I feel like "While You See a Chance" (probably one of my favorite all time songs) got chopped almost every week it was in the 40 either originally by AT40 or by Premiere. I'm thinking 3/28/81 was one of the weeks it got played in full. One of those songs that once the show producers decided that it was a longer song that could easily be cut down, they chopped it a lot.

Just a quick look, but it looks like two songs debuted in the Top 40 5/21/1988 that were still on the chart by 8/13/1988: Pour Some Sugar On Me - Def Leppard (#18 on 8/13) The Flame - Cheap Trick (#26) Another hit debuted in the top 40 on 5/28 that was still around on 8/13: New Sensation - INXS (#33) So those are probably the three hits that spanned the longest back into Casey's tenure until Shadoe took over.

Did WSMG ever play a show last night? I listened until 7:20 and they were still playing current hits.

One of my faves from this week's show includes the line 'love at first sting'. It checks the box on 2 unusual things, one a lot more unusual than the other. It is the name of the Scorps album which has no title track. Have not checked all the lyrics for the other songs on the CD, but I will guess that is the only time that line is sung. Secondly, it is an instance when the phrase is a play on words for the group's name which sounds like something Casey would make a list for but I don't think he ever did even into the CT40 and second run AT40 days. Happens again later in the countdown except they edited out the verse that it happens in. "Miss Me Blind" has the line 'kissing to be clever' which is the title of the Culture Club album. No title track on that one either.

No title track on that one either. Not on Casey's AT40 but Amy Grant's "Baby Baby" has the phrase "heart in motion" which is the name of the album that has no title track.
Wonder how many other instances like this occur.
