* SerialNumbersFiledOff: On at least two occasions local affiliates had one of their own [=DJs=] host a live in-house ersatz version of [=AT40=] in place of the genuine article. One was because the station didn't receive their copy of the show in time. The other was because WGCL in Cleveland, Ohio refused to play the scheduled "Top 40 Hits of The Disco Era" special in 1979. The DJ for that one was a young [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Townsend_Coleman Townsend Coleman]].

** Shadoe Stevens taking over for Casey Kasem was enough to evoke this reaction in a lot of listeners. Even those who gave Shadoe a chance were eventually turned off by the attempts to make the show more slick and energetic (they even edited out his natural speaking pauses!), and dropping the Hot 100 in favor of other Billboard charts (Hot 100 Airplay and later Top 40 Mainstream). Predictably, many ''[=AT40=]'' listeners tuned out in favor of of ''Casey's Top 40'' when that show premiered in January of 1989.

* {{Glurge}}: A lot of the letters for the Long Distance Dedication related stories that fell in this category. There was also a pool of sentimental songs that got used over and over. In TheEighties, you could count on hearing Music/BarryManilow at least once a month during the LDD. Other recurring faves were [[Music/KennyRogers "Through the Years"]] and [[Music/WhitneyHouston "The Greatest Love of All"]].

Were Still Relevant Dammit is not a trope anymore

* WereStillRelevantDammit: When rap started becoming a regular presence in the Top 40 (around 1986-87), Casey's attempts to acknowledge it tended to veer into this trope. He'd do PissTakeRap song intros and there was one infamous segment [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqIGFb2cXz4 where he discussed the meaning of rap lingo]].
