American Top 40 with Casey Kasem: December 24, 1983 is a syndicated radio show multi-vinyl album box set featuring Duran Duran, released in the USA by ABC Watermark during 1983.
About the album[]
The album was used for licence broadcast on December 24, 1983, 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 "Union of the Snake" at no.3, an unknown song when it was performed at the Prince's Trust Rock Gala and the MENCAP Concert in July 1983.
