Talk about staying power--I found three songs that we heard on 11-23-18 from 33 years ago that we will hear from 1986 on 3-1-19. These songs are "Burning Love," "That's What Friends Are For," and "Conga." All three songs debuted on the Top 40 on 11-23-18.

Next week it'll be all about 1984! Plus it was a guest hosted show for AT40 so it'll never been played by Premiere. Let's hope this time Alan doesn't mix up his Billys.

Thank you Michael for correction to "Burning Heart." Got my word association with the Elvis song "Burning Love!" Well, 1984 will be the 10th and final different year featured, and will be interesting to see if 1980 follows 1984. Now for 1984, "Owner of A Lonely Heart," is the only song that we heard on 11-30-18 when 35 years ago (11-26-83) was featured last.

I'm hoping they going with 1982 for the week after so they won't repeat 3/20 that's what it would look like if they go with that same pattern, with 1980 to follow after.

Tonight's show will be from 3/10/84. It's being advertised as "Yes, Queen and more" and those songs fall between 35 and 39 on the survey.

Also, Owner of a Lonely Heart is the only song we heard on the 11/26/83 survey back in late November 2018 on SXM.

You have to wonder now if they will pull Michael Jackson's songs off their 80s channel and/or skip the years that have him on the charts (this week included that features 3/10/84) in the future given that questionable documentary being featured (Leaving Neverland).

I know some FM stations are pulling MJ's songs from regular rotation, as a way of comforting their audience. With satellite radio, it might be different as the customer is choosing to pay for a subscription, and a subscriber can cancel at anytime if they take offense to the content. Howard Stern and others fall into that category, too. You can't have a SXM Big 40 Countdown that skips songs, that's Rick Dees department. If anything, limit the VJ talk about him and let the music do the talking.

His songs are still on whatever channels that play MJ on. I'm interested as to how they'll talk about him on this week's show. "Thriller" was at #4 that week and they usually both intro and outro the top 4. Maybe they either won't mention the documentary and just talk about the Thriller album in general or something.
Also, as I mentioned before, Pop2K has been skipping R. Kelly's songs in their countdowns but of course they may have different rules about this.

When they got to Thriller, Nina just first mentioned MJ singing back up on "Somebody's Watching Me," which preceded it, and then talked about the song and its video and all that.

How is the advertisement going to have their names if the singles they had on the countdown are fading into the sunset (read: exiting the Top-40 the following week)? If anything, it should have red "Pet Shop Boys, George Michael, and more". Personally, I'll be glad when a January 1988 chart gets covered next year. The advertisement is just as lazy as the rest of the show. They randomly choose two artists between #32 and #39 and they're done. Could be new, could be falling, could be legendary (Prince) or could be forgotten (Prism.) And guess what--we get Prism next week ("Don't Let Him Know"--#39 in March 1982). With Tommy Tutone, Rick Springfield, and more...

They would have to skip a majority of the 80s countdowns if this was the case. That's too many as he has songs in almost all of them. They would probably just skip his songs if they had to. Or skip the shows where he was #1. I doubt they would get this drastic though.
