American_Top_40_1983_July_9th torrent

American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This rebroadcast is one of many I have recorded from internet radio. A few are incomplete but most are not and I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.
In this broadcast:

Casey remembers the only three acts in chart history to occupy the number 1 and 2 spots at the same time.

The highest debuting act of the week, The Fixx, helps set a new chart record. Casey tells how.

In the rock era, there have been three top 40 hits that have named future years in their titles. 1999 is in the countdown. Casey names the other two.

Casey explains how the song "Spill The Wine" by Eric Burdon And War got its name.

This is the first week of eight at #1 for "Every Breath You Take" (1984 Grammy Awards' Song of the Year).
