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:

Until this week in 1974, Janis Joplin held the record for having more chart hits after her death than before. With this countdown, another artist earns the same distinction.

One song sets a record just by being in the countdown. It is by the fifth seperate act to come from the same family.

One artist in this countdown has had over 130 hit records! Casey tells who.

Casey answers the question, "What album has stayed on the album chart the longest?"

There a group in the countdown who at one time couldn't get booked unless promoters were allowed to bill them announcing the name of their lead singer who wasn't with the group anymore!
