American Top 40 1984 April 28th (Size: 277.76 MB)
Description"Every week we countdown the most popular songs in the USA from Day, Florida, to Dayville, Connecticut; from Daykin, Nebraska, to Daysville, Tennessee; and, at number twenty-five this week here’s Tony Carey with 'A Fine Fine Day'." American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This recording is a rebroadcast from internet radio. In this countdown, Talk Talk is at #39 with "It's My Life." Casey lists the other seven double named acts that have charted in the Rock Era. The Scorpions debut this week with their first Top 40 hit, "Rock You Like A Hurricane" (at #38). Weird Al Yankovic is at #32 with his novelty hit, "Eat It." Casey tells about the hottest novelty hit of all time. It was a record about an alien with a very strange appetite, and it reached #1 on only its second week in the Hot 100. How Ray Met Chrissie: Casey tells the story of how Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders (at #29 with "Show Me") and Ray Davies (leader of The Kinks) became and couple. Casey gives a fitting tribute to Art Thurston, the Australian distributer of AT40. A listener wants to know if there has ever been a time in chart history when the top five positions on the Pop Singles Chart were all occupied by women. Casey says it's happened, but only once, and tells about that day the women ruled the roost. "Here Comes The Rain Again" at #18, is by The Eurythmics. Casey says there are some 60 other song titles that mention rain, and tells about the three that stormed their way to #1: songs by BJ Thomas, Neil Sedaka, and Eddie Rabbitt. On a previous show Casey said 3 artists have hit the Top 40 with versions of the song "Puppy Love." Disc Jockey, chart buff, and future AT40 team member Rob Durkee writes in to say that one of those songs had the same title, but was actually different from the other two. The biggest mover in the survey is from the #1 album in the land, "The Footloose Soundtrack." Up 11 notches to #12 is Deniece Williams with, "Let's Hear It For The Boy." A listener wants to know what song has taken the longest fall out of the top spot. Casey calls the answer to this one a trivia buff's delight. It only happened twice. The first time, it was a fall of 15 notches, and the second time, it happened to the song that replaced the first song at the #$1 spot. Casey delivers the details. 40: The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll - Huey Lewis & The News 39: It's My Life - Talk Talk 38: Rock You Like A Hurricane - Scorpions 37: White Horse - Laid Back 36: The Reflex - Duran Duran 35: Borderline - Madonna LDD: Faithfully - Journey 34: Holding Out For A Hero - Bonnie Tyler 33: Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper 32: Eat It - Weird Al Yankovic 31: I'll Wait - Van Halen 30: Sister Christian - Night Ranger 29: Show Me - The Pretenders 28: No More Words - Berlin 27: Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper 26: Dancing In The Sheets - Shalamar 25: A Fine Fine Day - Tony Carey 24: Leave It - Yes 23: Jump - Van Halen 22: Breakdance - Irene Cara 21: The Longest Time - Billy Joel 20: Girls - Dwight Twilley 19: The Authority Song - John Cougar Mellancamp 18: Here Comes The Rain Again - The Eurythmics 17: Oh, Sherrie - Steve Perry 16: Don't Answer Me - Alan Parsons Project 15: Adult Education - Daryl Hall & John Oates 14: Tonight - Kool & The Gang 13: Head Over Heals - The Go-Go's 12: Let's Hear It For The Boy - Deniece Williams 11: Somebody's Watching Me – Rockwell 10: To All The Girls I've Loved Before - Julio Iglesias And Willie Nelson 9: Automatic - The Pointer Sisters 8: They Don't Know - Tracey Ullman 7: You Might Think - The Cars 6: Love Somebody - Rick Springfield 5: Miss Me Blind - Culture Club LDD: Beginnings - Chicago 4: Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins 3: Footloose - Kennt Loggins 2: Hello - Lionel Richie 1: Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now) - Phil Collins Related Torrents
