American Top 40 with Casey Kasem: March 24, 1984 is a syndicated radio show multi-vinyl album box set featuring Duran Duran, released in the USA by ABC Watermark during 1984.
About the album[]
The album was used for licence broadcast on March 24, 1984, by a syndicated independent radio program created by Casey Kasem, Don Bustany, Tom Rounds and Ron Jacobs.
As its title implies, American Top 40 counts down the forty most popular songs in the USA, from no.40 to no.1. The show used Billboard charts in its early years, then switched to those from Radio and Records upon its late 1990s return.
The compilation includes Duran Duran's "New Moon on Monday", a single which reached no.10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and featured a music video directed by Brian Grant.
At no.14 is Culture Club featuring singer-songwriter Boy George, who later performed on Mark Ronson's 2010 Record Collection album that also included Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes.
