9/12/1992 (From the Top 40 Radio Monitor chart source era):

Debuting at #75 is dance singer Cynthia with "Love Me Tonight" (I think I remember hearing this Cynthia song on WBBM B-96 FM Chicago, then home to Casey's Top 40 at the 1992 time until a year later in July 1993 when the station dropped the show, at the late Summer/early Fall 1992 time):

This is a low charted E. Humperdink song that should have been covered by Elvis Presley as I listened to it.

Debuting at #100 is Brownsville Stations' #3 smash "Smokin' In The Boy's Room", and Barry White debuted at #99 with his future #7 song "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up." Now, debuting at #98 are the soul group The Intruders and "I Wanna Know Your Name", which would peak at #60. I couldn't find the 3:40 edited version, so here's all nearly 6 minutes of it.

For Halloween weekend: Here's something I didn't do last year when Premiere offered a bonus AT10 show from 2004 that was Halloween related.

This is the BOTTOM OF THE CHART of the R&R Mainstream AC chart used for the American Top 10 AC October 30-21, 2004 show (the Mainstream AC chart for R&R had 30 positions):

Entering at #30 on the R&R AC Mainstream chart is Celine Dion with her cover of a song originally done by John Lennon on his 1980 Double Fantasy album (An album Mr. Lennon recorded and released prior to his tragic December 1980 death) called "Beautiful Boy":

1) The 1972 "You Can Do Magic" by Limmie/Family Cookin' has nothing to do with the 10 years later in 1982 America song of the same name, of course.

2) Since you already covered "Talk Talk" by Talk Talk for the 11/13/1982 BOTC last year, let's go to #99 for 11/20/1982: Dropping to #99 from #93 after peaking at #70 is early 1980's teen R&B singer Stacy Lattisaw with "Attack of the Name Game":
