It's now been three months since the last 1986 standalone so I'm sticking with my prediction of 8/30/86 for the week of August 31.

Fun fact -- on this week's show, Casey states that the only male solo artist over age 40 to chart so far in 1985 was Mick Jagger. It turns out that John Fogerty missed making the list by less than three weeks, and he would have made it had Centerfield hit the top 40.

The story about “You’re Only Human” by Billy Joel really affected me. As someone who has struggled with that and had friends who’ve committed suicide the song gets me very emotional, even though it’s a very energetic song. On a side note, Billy Joel had considered suicide and luckily didn’t do it obviously. I still can’t watch “It’s A Wonderful Life”. That’s one movie that’s too triggering for me even though it’s considered a classic.
Casey mentioning “Dynasty” really brings back good memories of watching that show with my mom (another one was “Dallas”) Women with massive shoulder pads and other gaudy fashions from that era is what I remember the most.

1985 few notes First ldd about 24 yr Laurie in Indiana, Pennsylvania to Bobby who had diabetes, but later gets better 5 movies Opt xtra bumpers jingle from 1984 Pointer Sisters led to traditional lives long ago, no costumes no makeup, no listening radio Soft jingles: you give good love, never surrender Music video of Billy Joel you're only human, inspired from its a wonderful life movie. Teen was committing suicide, but angel tells to remind good times and have wonderful years ahead 14 British acts Bruce Springsteen about glory days for about baseball (Dynasty 80s series many older women) There are 4 women over aged 40 in top 40 in 1985: Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Patti LaBelle, Diana Ross; one male over 40 was Mick Jagger Most white with soul: from Mississippi: Elvis Presley Most black with country: Charley Pride Foreign acts #1 most was 14 weeks, also before happened with Bee Gees and Andy Gibb THe second LDD was to Tom Hulce, star of "Amadeus" whom the writer credited with sparking her interest in classical music. "Hooked On Classics" was the requested hit (less than a year later "Rock Me Amadeus" could have been chosen.) Casey led into "Glory Days" by telling of the classic baseball poem "Casey At the Bat", and referred to himself as "Casey At the Mike", which he had done earlier in his career, before AT40. This was the last of a 14 week block of foreign acts at #1 (Huey Lewis broke the streak the following week). This had happened twice before, with the Beatles in 1964 and the Gibb family (the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb solo) in 1978. Interestingly, the oldest recording in the countdown which had been in there for those 14 weeks was "Raspberry Beret" by Prince, an American artist who just missed snapping that streak. That hit peaked at #2 behind Duran Duran's "A View To a Kill".

^^ That LDD from “Betty Jo” was a nice departure from the usually depressing LDD’s.

That "It's a Wonderful Life" story tying in to "You're Only Human" could have been perfect for one of the AT40/AT20/AT10 Christmas shows.

...and also we lost Jack Russell, former lead singer of Great White, who had some hits in the later 80s. Unfortunately Great White is probably known more for being held partially responsible for The Station Nightclub fire than they are for having hit records. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Station_nightclub_fireOh, and for 1983 I predict that "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" will once again be the OE that gets dropped due to a tribute song, as "Jeopardy" will replace it.

Any word on whether "Jeopardy" will be played as an OE for this weekend's presentation from 8/20/83?

A little AT40 / 80s trivia… With next weekend’s 8/20/83 show, I believe this will be the 10th Premiere program in 2024 that immediately followed a guest-hosted countdown. Keri Tombazian, the first female voice behind the AT40 mike, sat in for Casey on 8/13/83. In fact, her other AT40 show (4/16/88) preceded another 2024 program, 4/23/88. Other 2024 programs that originally aired after guest hosts: 1/17/87, 1/18/86, 3/17/84, 4/3/82, 4/23/83, 7/16/88, 7/21/84, and this weekend’s 8/17/85. 8/13/1983 guest hosted by Keri Tombazian also had for the wrong #38 song "Pieces of Ice" by Diana Ross instead of "It's Inevitable" by Charlie. With Casey noting that in this show by saying that "It's Inevitable" is at #53, it's one of those rare times when Casey mentions where a hit is below the top 40 the same week of the show. Not sure how many times this happened but here are a couple other examples. In 1976, Casey mentioned how "Grow Some Funk of Your Own" had unexpectedly dropped out of the top 40 and was at #42. In 1985, he said Madinna nearly had 3 songs in the top 40 with "Angel" at #41.
