American Top 40 with Casey Kasem: January 22, 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 January 22, 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 "Hungry Like the Wolf" at no.34, which was Duran Duran's first entry into the American Top 40. Produced by Colin Thurston, the single reached no.3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in March 1983.
At no.31 is Culture Club featuring singer-songwriter Boy George, who performed on Mark Ronson's 2010 Record Collection album that also included Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes.
