Casey Kasem’s American Top 40

Noon to 3pm Sunday’s for our sponsor Foreverboards 
and the Swansea Hotel

“ Here we go with the Top 40 hits of the nation this week
on American Top 40, the best-selling and most-played
songs from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico.
This is Casey Kasem in Hollywood, and in the next 3 hours,
we'll count down the 40 most popular hits in the
United States this week, hot off the record charts
of Billboard magazine for the week ending July 11, 1970.
In this hour at #32 in the countdown, a song that's been
a hit four different times in 19 years!
And we're just one tune away from the singer
with the $10,000 gold hubcaps on his car. “

inaugural AT40 broadcast
