American Top 40 quickly became one of the most popular syndicated radio shows in the country and then around the world. By 1986 the show was featured on more than 1,000 radio stations in 50 countries around the world as well as Armed Forces Radio and the Voice of America. American Top 40 spawned a television spin-off, America's Top 10, that ran from 1980 through 1990 and featured Casey Kasem counting down the week's top 10 hits and playing music videos.

Enjoy all the original shows just as they aired in the 70s with host Casey Kasem. He counts them down from number 40 all the way to number one every Sunday morning from 6 am til 9 am on Oldiez 96.1 Wodz.Here is one of my favorites from 1973. To this day we still do not know who the song was about. If I had to guess I would say James Taylor.
