"We're on our way to number one, counting down the nation's biggest hits."


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:

A listener wants to know, "What recording act has had the most number one albums without ever having a top 40 single?" Casey says this man most recently was in the movie, "Smokey And The Bandit."

The man with the most famous lips and the man with the most famous glove debut their new song "State Of Shock" in hot 100 all the way up at number 30.

Casey answers the question, "Who was the first Australian act to hit the top 40 in America?" It was a 1963 novelty song about a kangaroo.

Casey tells us whatever happened to Peter Frampton, the man ranked second only to Michael Jackson in the category of male solo act with the biggest selling album.

The Thompson Twins have their song "Doctor! Doctor!" at number 17, so Casey lists the other eight rock era top 40 hits whose title contain the word "Doctor" and tells about the only one to reach #1.

Casey answers the question, "What album by a female recording artist has spent the most weeks at number one in the rock era?" Casey lists the top three and says the number one album spent 15 weeks in the top spot.
