In 2015, Premiere optional extras 10/7/72: Helen Reddy - "I Am Woman" (#46) Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - "If You Don't Know Me By Now" (#61) Seals & Crofts - "Summer Breeze" (#59) Optional extras for 10/13/79 when it last aired (October 15-16, 2016) were: Hour #1: "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" - ABBA (NR) Hour #2: "Dreaming" - Blondie (#56) Hour #3: "Ladies' Night" - Kool & The Gang (#83) Hour #4: "Better Love Next Time" - Dr. Hook (#68; debuted) The Abba cut was a major curveball for that week, especially considering the Hot 100 did contain an Abba song, but it wasn't "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"--it was "Angel Eyes" which was in its peak week at #64. Since this is a 'B' show, the odds are that nothing changes but if anything does, that song would have to be the most likely candidate. There were 12 songs that debuted on the Hot 100 that week, so lots to choose from.

"If You Don't Know Me By Now" went to # 1 in 1989 in a version by Simply Red-It was awesome!

This will be the third straight pre-1973 show (8/21/71, 9/5/70, and now 10/7/72) that they have eschewed for the 'B' show option. Not upset about that, especially when it comes to the 4-hour '78-'79 shows.

Meanwhile WMGN, which for a while avoided almost everything pre-1973 but not so much lately, so far can't seem to make up its mind about either decade for next weekend. As of Tuesday at noon both are marked "tba". I was somewhat surprised by KOKZ's choice, as fall 1972 isn't quite the same musically as 1970-71, but glad for it as that at least gives us one place we can count on for the complete 1979 show. I may try to take the Premiere Casey challenge and see if I can get all 15 hours of AT40s in, as I either like all these shows or haven't heard them in a long time.

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 10/12/74 2nd Guess - 10/15/77
So a bit of a crap shoot for next week -- there are a handful of possibilities, but I'll guess these two have the best chance, and maybe in no particular order.

You're so funny, referring to this as a crap shoot, when your number two guesses are correct -- both 70s and 80s. And now a word from a certain Premiere advertiser.

OK, so now I get what Hervard's post in the 80's thread meant. Debby's 10-week run at #1 begins... The optional extras from the last airing of 10/15/77 (October 12-13, 2013): Hour #1: "Slip Slidin' Away" - Paul Simon (#81; debuted) Hour #2: "Mandy" - Barry Manilow (original AT40 extra) Hour #3: "Falling" - LeBlanc & Carr (#87; debuted)
