Fans trade 'Stay Classy' dedications and Dirk Wilbury memories

musicJul 10, 202627410

Threads using the tags #DirkWilbury, #AT40, and #StayClassy traded tributes after users marked Dirk Wilbury’s longtime role in the countdown and celebrated a symbolic #1 placement. Posters shared condolences describing Wilbury as a "blue-tuxed wonder" and a beloved insider who will be missed, with one message asking that he be taken care of and another offering a profanity-laced note about his illness. Several posts referenced songs linked to the countdown moment, including Eagles' "New Kid In Town" and an offbeat album cover titled DIRK WILBURY: OFF THE DRAPES noted four months earlier. Contributors planned collective listening on Saturday and raised the hashtag again during recent countdown nights, saying the tags helped make Dirk trend and calling the send-off a great night. One post announced a new feed dedicated to tracking #DirkWilbury, #AT40, and #StayClassy fan tributes, signaling continuing organized remembrance activity.

July 10, 1976: The Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" hits #1 in America, where it stays for two weeks. The song title was inspired by an item on a restaurant menu, and is about "getting it on" in the daytime. #AT40

I’m out. It still feels like 86 outside, which means I need to get up at 5:30 to take these guys for their walk. #AT40 #DirkWilbury #stayclassy

Not gonna lie .. this rapid fire hashtag texting and me checking their spelling is making my eyes go blurry. #DirkWilbury is worth the temporary blindness. #AT40 #StayClassy So many “DorkWilburys” almost made the cut
