On the March 16, 1985 show, Casey mentioned "We Are The World" by USA For Africa near the end of Hour 3, saying that it should be debuting on the countdown soon (as it turned out, it hit the chart the following week - way up at #21). "We Are the World" also holds a rare distinction of being mentioned in the 'Last Weeks Top 3' recap *before* it actually made the top 3. I was just re-listening to the 4/6/1985 countdown, and Casey leads of fthe show making mention that the week before, WATW moved 20-5. |

On multiple occasions, Casey played Sara McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" as a LDD before it was in the countdown in 1999. One such occasion was the 4/18/98 AT40. There was a studio version released in 1995 which only made the AC chart and was played on Casey's Hot 20. This was the version played as a LDD. It was a live version that made it onto AT40.

On the 5/5/90 AT40, Shadoe mentioned that "Hold On" by En Vogue had entered the Hot 100 that week at #61. He mentioned it in connection to telling what song title had appeared most often in Billboard chart history. And that would be 12 times, the 11th being Wilson Phillips' "Hold On" at #12 btw.

"Hold On" by En Vogue would make it to Shadoe AT40 the following week - when it was the first of 3 annual May shows recorded from Disney World in Florida. |

I mentioned in another thread how David Foster had a top 40 hit in one era, as well as being interviewed in another era (actually Foster was interviewed in two eras: a song in the Casey Kasem era/ interviews with both Shadoe Stevens and Ryan Seacrest). I mentioned before that Foster was interviewed on the 4/27/91 show "Voices That Care" was in the top 40. However, on the 3/23/91 show, he is interviewed for the same song that had to that point not hit the top 40. Along with that, they played various snippets of the song as well. On 3/23/91 it was at 56 and would debut the next week on AT40 at number 40. So not only does "Voices That Care" fit into the category of being mentioned before it hit AT 40, a good portion of it was played as well. And to boot, Foster would have a song played on AT 40 with Casey, and have interviews done about him on Ryan and Shadoe's shows all while having only one top 40 hit in which he is credited as the artist.

Flipping the script: How many top 40 hits were mentioned AFTER they were on AT 40, however they were still on the Hot 100? I was thinking about the 11/6/82 show where Casey talks about how "Tainted Love" was at its 43rd week on the Hot 100, breaking Paul Davis's record. Obviously there have been many songs who have been mentioned/played after it fell off the top 40 and the Hot 100. How many though were still in the Hot 100 and were mentioned on the show?

Paul Davis' record was itself mentioned for the same reason in 1978.

You could include Long Distance Dedications that were played post-Top 40/pre-Hot 100 drop-off. |

Casey mentioned "I Go Crazy" after it fell out of the top 40 for the same reason that he mentioned "Tainted Love". He also mentioned "Why Me" by Kris Kristofferson after it fallen out because they were tracking whether it would break this same record. In this case, it did not. |

I guess for the most part every song that hit the top 40 in the Casey/Shadoe era was mentioned after they were off the top 40 the following week when they would announce the songs that dropped off the countdown. But let's not count those, lol.

It actually made me think of something that I hadn't thought about: when did Casey start announcing the songs that fell off the chart? |

On this week's 1980 show Casey mentioned Lesley Gore was attempting a comeback as a songwriter & she had written songs for Fame. Out Here On My Own would soon enter the top 40.
