And right on cue according to LVK liking the whole top 50 as Pete quipped, 5 of those hits did not make the top 40.

What on Earth does "embarrassment of riches" mean? A colorful way of saying that he likes the songs on this one is how I took it. Many shows from 1977-1983 fall into said category.

This week's 70s show is one such show IMO.

I don't know how many of you are on Facebook, but this random story popped up in my feed, and it's Bruce Springsteen telling his version the story Casey told about Bruce in the show from 6/27/81 about Bruce killing time between concerts in DENVER by going to a movie, and meeting a boy in the theater lobby who asked Bruce to come home with him to meet his parents after the show. Except in Bruce's telling of the story it happened in St. Louis, and he looked up that family each time he returned to St. Louis. Hope this link works.

The word 'or' seems to have disqualified a hit from the list of songs with a time in their title. "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago is referring to two times not just one which appeared to be the basis of the question. One of the more bizarre trivial notes is part of the chart for this week's show. "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Hungry Like the Wolf" are in their third of 10 consecutive weeks being back to back. Even "Physical" and "Waiting For a Girl Like You" did not accomplish that feat. And no other pair of hits accomplished that feat in the first run of AT40. That's neat that both the show with the mistake in it and the show with the correction were played this year. No mistakes of commission on this show but there is one of omission. No mention is made of either "Come Dancing" nor "Electric Avenue" being tied for the biggest mover.

It hasn't been that long since 1982 was last featured (first weekend of April.) But 6/19 or 6/26/82 would be good candidates for later in June (6/12 was played last year). I'll vote for 6/19, featuring the only top 40 appearance of Rainbow, the one-and-done "Stone Cold." 6/19/1992 last aired in 2020.

This doesn't happen to me very often. I have no memory of Kenny Rogers' "All My Life" even though I listened to AT40 every week. I know it wasn't a big hit, but I remember lots of minor chart entries....

I know it wasn't a big hit, but I remember lots of minor chart entries.... Something similar happened to me many years ago. I'd started following AT40 roughly six weeks before this 1983 show, but like you I had a really good memory of all the songs that charted. Flash forward to the later 1980s, looking through my first Joel Whitburn book and seeing "I Couldn't Say No." I had zero memory of the song, despite the fact that it would have been one of the first debuts I encountered. I remembered every other song from that era like it was yesterday.

Casey on Boy George: "He wears makeup and dresses oddly for a man."
Has there ever been such a massive understatement uttered in the history of AT40?
