"We're counting down the most popular songs in the country from Spud Rock to Potato Creek; from Bean City to Peasleyville (and from Summer, Michigan, to Winter, Wisconsin; from Spring, Texas, to Fall City, Washington). I'm Casey Kasem and the countdown continues with Supertramp at number twenty with 'Dreamer.'"


American Top 40 with Casey Kasem aired on radio from July 4, 1970 until August 6, 1988. This is a recording of a rebroadcast from internet radio.

In this broadcast:

AC/DC debuts with their first top 40 hit, "You Shook Me All Night Long" (at number 39).

Casey tells us whatever happened to Jerry Samuels, also known as Napoleon XIV, who had the million-selling hit "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!"

There is an artist in the countdown who once sued in court to have his name and picture removed from an album cover that billed itself as XXX-Rated.

A listener wants to know, "What family act has hit the most top 40 the most times in the rock era?" When Casey gives the answer, it's not the Bee Gees, the Jacksons, the Osmonds, or the Everly Brothers.

The only song in the history of the charts to begin with the letter X is at number 17: "Xanadu."

Casey answers the question, "Have any married couples managed to hit the top 10 both as a duo and individually with solo hits. Casey says two couples have been able to do it.

Hear Larry Morgan say, "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da."
