Right off the top I would NEVER blame Casey for ANY mixup (He's just too much of a legend to do so...) I own a copy of this Amazing Countdown and as Casey gets to MJ's "Beat It" at #8...He mistakenly says that it spent 7 weeks at #1 As we all know he's speaking of Billie Jean ranked at #3...Speaking of 3...that's how many weeks "Beat It" spent at the top...Full Circle ;D So I wanted to point that out so you can catch it on this weekend's part II of 1983...Again I BLAME the staff...for Casey doesn't make mistakes  ...Happy listening |

I'm not sure if Casey or the staff screwed up but on this week's 1973 show, Casey said here is Steely Dan with his latest hit Reeling In The Years.

I think Casey made a boo boo. On last week's 1980 show he said the title of Elt's album was his 21st 33rpm record. I thought 33 stood for Elt's age at the time the record came out.

When it comes to show errors, there's probably a mix of those that were Casey's fault and those that were the fault of the staff. Some of the ones that appeared to belong to Casey were things like when he said the wrong date at the end of the show. Some of those that would seem to be the staff's doing are things like editing mistakes--e.g. when an intro or outcue was left out, the wrong song was played, etc. As for when Casey gave wrong information, those could probably be just as likely one or the other. Maybe the staff fed Casey the wrong info, maybe Casey read something wrong and nobody caught it. Ahh...but wouldn't it have been the job of the staff to catch things he said and correct them? So therefore maybe every mistake was the staff's fault.  |

I have thought it was as Casey said ever since 1980. Now that does not mean I am right. But IIRC, it was info I got outside of AT40. |

I've never understood why there is this impression that Casey was superhuman and would never have the ability to make a mistake or error on his own. Granted, chart stats were going to be errors on the part of the statisticians and writers of the script, as Casey just read what was written, but, Casey still had the ability to make mistakes too.

If I recall correctly none of the outros (What Casey said at the end of a record or song) in the early years were scripted--so those errors were probably his--but errors that were written wrong on the scripted cards were definitely the staff.
Does anyone know when the outros were scripted--I think it started in 1973 or 74.

The chart information was there and Casey would adlib I believe all the way through 1988. It was the move to WW1 where the outros would be scripted.

And Casey was the one to set it straight. He did so on the Casey's Hot 20 from 7/13/96. Yes 21 at 33 does indeed mean his 21st Lp, recorded when he was 33 years old. 36 years later, I finally have it set straight! |

When mentioning the John/Johnny hits on this week's 1983 show, Casey omitted Elt's hit from just 12 months earlier Empty Garden (Hey Hey Johnny)

On February 27, 1988, Casey mentions that nine previous acts had their first Top 40 hits from films they starred in, and that Patrick Swayze's "She's Like the Wind" is the 10th. The problem is that Casey only mentioned eight previous acts (Grace Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, Hayley Mills, Lulu, Keith Carradine, Rex Smith, Irene Cara, and Morris Day).
Maybe they miscounted and made Swayze the 10th when he was actually one of the nine.
