American Top 40 with Casey Kasem: December 20, 1986 is a syndicated radio show multi-vinyl album box set featuring Duran Duran, released in the USA by ABC Watermark during 1986.
About the album[]
The album was used for licence broadcast on December 20, 1986, 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 "Notorious" at no.4. This single was produced by Nile Rodgers and named after an Alfred Hitchcock thriller film ["Rope" and "Vertigo" are two more Hitchcock films].
Also featured are The Bangles at no.1, a band Duran Duran performed with during July 1987.
