If AT40 had used the Record World charts instead of Billboard, the 4 Ex-Beatles would've all had #1's with in a one year period. George Harrison made it to #1 in December 1970 with My Sweet Lord and Paul & Linda McCartney made it to the top spot in September with Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey, while John Lennon's Imagine made it to #1 in Record World only in November. Here is the Rewind Countdown, featuring the Top 40 from RW from the last week of June, 1971 where the ex-drummer, Ringo Starr, reached #1; plus lots of other great summer time hits. archive.org/details/rwc-1971062601 Thank you, djjoe1960 - love 1971 musically. Really looking forward to this one. 🙂 |

Time for another Top 40 from the Record World chart--from the September 12, 1970 issue. There are 3 songs not heard on AT40, making the Top 40 in RW not Billboard--and of course, another unique #1. Enjoy these hits in stereo from 1970. archive.org/details/rwc-1970091201_202209 |

If you listened to AT40 from 12-11-1971, via satellite radio, you heard Casey countdown the Top 40 from Billboard--but what if AT40 had used Record World's chart for that week--this woulda been the result-- archive.org/details/rwc-1971121101A few of the songs during the first hour never made the Billboard Top 40 and the song at #1 reportedly sold 2 millions copies according to an article in RW (although where they got that information is not indicated). |

I was thinking to myself during that first hour - "I have never even HEARD of these songs!" - part of the blame for this is listening to Rick Sklar's WABC playlist when I was a kid. I must have heard Aquarius by the Fifth Dimension 30 times a week for a couple of months there. It was ridiculous. Thank God for your shows, Joe. I have heard so many great songs that I had never heard before - and I was on the radio for almost 30 years. |

OK, countdown fans, here is the Top 40 pop singles via Record World magazine from Feb 13, 1971--featuring the highest charting song (to make a rival trade paper) never played by Casey on AT40. In addition, are 4 other tunes that didn't make the Top 40 in Billboard; and three double sided hits (of course both sides are featured). archive.org/details/rwc-1971021301/RWC1971021301.mp3 |

Record World Magazine sadly went under in April, 1982 lasting 18 years under that name (after starting in 1946 as Music Vendor). Although I consider it to be the least accurate of the Big 3 , especially starting in the mid -1970's when singles lingered on their chart for many weeks after falling off both Billboard & Cash Box. Perhaps the magazine was trying to appeal to the retailer that wanted to know what singles heading down the chart were still selling nationwide; regardless here is a countdown from the first week of March, 1982 (just 6 weeks before they ceased publication). archive.org/details/rwc-1982030401 |

There are no words. I mean, the song had lyrics, but...well... It just screams 1982. Hey, Brits. Please HURRY with that 2nd Invasion! |

"There are no words" has a double meaning here, right? Well, there are a few lyrics. I was referring to my inability to sufficiently express my dismay when we reached #10 (#10!) and there it was. And oh by the way Spoiler Alert. But I guess it's a little late for that. There must have been two dozen better COUNTRY hits that week that could have crossed over. Not that I can name any of them. Just assuming. And of course just my opinion. But that record is my #1 1982 pet peeve in a year with many of them (Beatles Movie Medley?). So hearing it in the Top Ten just rubbed it in.  It's the Joe Piscopo of 1982 Top 40 hits. I actually kind of like Charlene. But maybe that's just the contrarian in me. |
