There has to be an explanation for so many acts having their last hit land exactly at #40, instead of somewhere else in the lower 5 of the chart.... Actually there must be quite a few that peaked in the lower 5 positions with their last hit. Just looking at the A and B artists, Alabama, Allman Brothers, Bellamy Brothers, Blackfoot, Blondie, Blue Magic, Blues Brothers and Jimmy Buffett did so. In the process of looking that up, I uncovered 2 more artists whose last hit peaked at 40...Beverly Bremers in 1972 and Laura Branigan in 1985. Pre AT40 but Everly Bros... Bowling Green #40

Willie Nelson is at #40 with his last top 40 hit on this week's show. Excluding one hit wonders, this is the 15th time in AT40 history that an artist's last top 40 hit peaked at 40. The first 14...Curtis Mayfield in 1974, Stampeders, Supremes and Average White Band in 1976, Ray Stevens as the Hen House Five Plus Two in 1977, Gene Cotton in 1978, Exile in 1979, Bonnie Pointer in 1980, LTD, Con Funk Shun, Andy Gibb, Stephanie Mills, Teddy Pendergrass and Blue Oyster Cult in 1981. Didn't Beer For My Horses reach the top 40 on the Hot 100?

Jerry Lee Lewis’ last pop top 40 hit, a rendition of “ Me and Bobby McGee”, hit #40 in January 1972. 'The Killer' had two others in that time period that 'missed it by THAT much': His next single, a remake of "Chantilly Lace", reached #43 in the spring of '72, and his final Hot 100 single (somewhat of a 'signature song' for Lewis), "Drinkin' Wine Spo-Dee O'Dee", hit #41 in spring 1973. All three were bigger hits on the Country chart.

Eurythmics also did that with their last hit in 1989. There have to be others after 1982 to the present day. Paul Anka: "Hold Me Till The Morning Comes (1983) Yes: "Rhythm Of Love" (1988) Simple Minds: "See The Lights" (1991) are 3 more.
From R&R/Casey's Top 40/AT40: Free As A Bird - The Beatles He Like That - Fifth Harmony Suddenly I See - K.T. Tunstall Auld Lang Syne - Kenny G Fall From Grace - Amanda Marshall Cloudy Day - Tones and I

And if we consider Radio & Records, "See the Lights" was not Simple Minds' last top 40 hit. "She's a River" Hit #24 there four years later.

Regarding AT40: The 80's 9/25/1982: Following the top 3 recap and regarding #40 and #39 and their extra things that would happen the next week when Casey took the week off when he had laryngitis and Mark Elliott filled in for Casey that 10/2/1982 week (This would be Mark's last guest host stint for Casey on the original run of AT40, though his next guest hosting for Casey gig wouldn't happen until Casey's Top 40 came along in 1989 when Mark became the more frequent CT40 guest host for Casey until 1993 when David Perry became the new CT40 guest host - Why didn't CT40/Westwood One hire 1983-1988 frequent AT40 guest host Charlie Van Dyke as the Casey guest host?):
* Prior to playing the Willie Nelson "Let it Be Me" version pieces of 3 others (Everly Brothers/Jerry Butler and Betty Everett/Glen Campbell and Boobie Gentry) were played as the song held at #40 for a second week. This song would hold at #40 for 1 more week - Making 3 weeks at #40 for that song that wouldn't happen again until "Don't Tell Me You Love Me" by Night Ranger in early 1983. * After "Heart Attack" by Olivia-Newton John entered at #39, the next week on 10/2/1982 it took the biggest move in the top 40 in the 1980's for a song that next went to #1.
More for 9/25/1982 leading into 10/2/1982: "Take it Away" and "Love is in Control" would fall off the AT40 reaches even in the Mark Elliott guest host.
And for 9/25/1982 but not leading into 10/2/1982: Tane Cain is from Hawaii? The next Hawaiian born singer to make AT40 wouldn't be until 1987 when Glenn Mederios hit with "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You".
