This is my audio mp3/wma-collection (list updated on 11/23/2024). Almost all AT40 shows have a bitrate
of 192 kBit/s. (I have reduced the bitrates on my main page to enable
easier downloads.) CT40 shows are in various bitrates. AT20/AT10 shows are in 192

* In addition to the original recordings my collection

versions. (Only guest-hosted
shows were not remastered.) Those recordings have better sound quality
and include additional "extras", songs later inserted by the Premiere Radio Networks,

extras each, the 1980s four. All shows are without commercials. Birates vary,
but a lot have
320 kBit/s.
* Those remastered shows also include five curiosities: the #1 Hits of the
1970s in 6 parts or 8 parts (4 hours each or 3 hours each, i. e.
24 hours overall), the #1 Hits of the 1980s in 5 parts (4 hours each, i. e. 20 hours
overall), #80-#41 of 1971, #80-#41 of 1973 and #100-#51 of 1979. Those shows were

4 hours each), 2022/2023/2024 (1970s, 3 hours each - so far only 5 [of
8] parts have been aired), 2015 (1980s), on 12/26/2020 (1971), 1/1/2017
(1973) and 1/1/2022 (1979). The #1 songs from 1970 through 1979 and 1980
through 1988 (not 1989!) respectively are played chronologically (plus extra

"Casey's Top 40" is not the same as "American Top
40" (AT40)! From 1989 to 1995 AT40 (with Shadoe Stevens) and CT40 (with
Casey Kasem) ran parallel each week. From 1995 to 1998 there was only
CT40. And in 1998 Casey re-started AT40 (and abandoned CT40). You can read all
the details on Wikpedia, just enter "Casey's Top 40".

* During the whole Dick
Clark era NMS was a Top 30 show based on the so-called CHR (Contemporary Hit
Radio) format which equals the "pop charts". During the Bill St. James
era NMS fluctuated between Top 20 and Top 25. And under Charlie Tuna and Bill
Maier/Sylvia Aimerito it was a Top 25 show. It ran from 5/30/1981 until 6/30/1990,
and was launched in direct competition to AT40. Before that Dick Clark served
as an AT40 guest host for Casey Kasem once on 3/25/1972.

30 format and changed from CHR ("pop charts") to AC (adult
contemporary). in 1991 CA was further reduced to just a Top 20 show. It
ran until 1995 when there was a name change to "US Music Survey". This new show
continued with Dick Clark until 2004, and until its very last edition on
12/25/2005. I have just 2 shows from it: The Top
60 of 1996 (only #60 - #31) and the one from 11/18/2001.

* WT40 has been running
from 10/8/1983 until now which means it is the longest running
countdown with one and the same host of all! Here is proof of the very
first show on just 18 radio stations, all of them in the US: Radio&Records,_1983-09-23,_1st
WT40 show,_p._8.pdf, Radio&Records,_1983-10-07,_1st
WT40_show,_ p._37.pdf
* My WT40 shows are
overwhelmingly based on the so-called CHR (Contemporary Hit Radio) format which
equals the "pop charts". They used the same Radio&Records basis
as "Casey’s Top 40".
WT40 also had a "hot adult contemporary" (HAC) spin-off until 9/14/2019,
but only a few shows from 1994, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 are additionally
available in this format. 9/21/2019 saw the union of the CHR and HAC
charts. All shows from there until now are therefore a mixture of CHR and HAC.
