This special millennium edition of American Top 40 originally aired on December 25, 1999, counting down the biggest hits of the year 1999 as we prepared to enter the year 2000. This historic broadcast captured the musical landscape at the turn of the millennium.
This special episode featured not just the hits of 1999, but also looked back at the most significant songs and artists of the entire 20th century of popular music.
In his sign-off, Casey Kasem reflected on a century of music and the role American Top 40 played in documenting the soundtrack of people's lives. He ended with his famous sign-off: "Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars."
