Saturday on AT40, hear the big songs this week in 1981! New albums by The Police, Foreigner, and The Go Go’s were on the Christmas wish list of good girls and boys. Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham have solo hits in the Top Ten. Hall & Oates were red hot with two songs in the top twenty and Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” has been parked at #1 for 3 weeks…will it be four? Classic 80s AT 40 on KIX, Saturday 6-10am, with an encore presentation 8pm to midnight.

Sunday morning on KIX, Casey Kasem plays back the favorite tunes this week in 1976! “Nadia’s Theme” from “The Young and The Restless” is a big hit. It’s the first time we heard Boston’s “More Than a Feeling”, “Beth” by Kiss, and the silly “Muskrat Love” by The Captain and Tennille. Rod Stewart has held the top spot for the last four weeks with “Tonight’s The Night”, but The Spinners’ “Rubberband Man” and Bee Gees’ “Love So Right” are worthy challengers! The Countdown, Casey’s stories, and the Long Distance Dedications, every Sunday 9-noon, only on KIX!
