Great show! One of my favorites for 1982...and funny, the last time both of these shows aired was the same weekend (June 6-7, 2015), but they were swapped -- 1988 was the 'A' and 1982 was the 'B'. Here were the optional extras from both times 6/5/82 was played (the weekend of June 5-6, 2010 was the first): Hour #1: "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" - Chicago (#75; debuted) Hour #2: "After The Glitter Fades" - Stevie Nicks (#41) Hour #3: "Abracadabra" - The Steve Miller Band (#56) Hour #4: "Eye Of The Tiger" - Survivor (#73; debuted) As for 6/11/88, the optional extras from 2015 -- by then they had started going with the late 1988 thing: Hour #1: "As Long As You Follow" - Fleetwood Mac Hour #2: "Don't Know What You Got (Til It's Gone)" - Cinderella Hour #3: "One Moment In Time" - Whitney Houston Hour #4: "Armageddon It" - Def Leppard

I guess this proves that episodes previously given "B" status can regain "A" status. I remember asking a while back if the January 17, 1987 episode was previously aired as a "B" show before this year's broadcast as an "A" option. The intent of the question was to find out if previously aired "B" shows can regain status as an "A" show. With the June 5, 1982 show - previously a "B" option - airing next weekend as an "A" option, my question, for which I have been awaiting months for a reply, has been answered. I also agree that 1987 is due pretty soon. Definitely by early July. The last 1987 broadcast was early in April. Whether or not we will get the much-anticipated June 13, 1987 show last aired a decade ago, or one of the two previously aired "B" shows from June 1987 regaining "A" status, or July 4, 1987 getting aired as an "A" option again, remains to be seen. I wouldn't be surprised if the last 1988 "A" option will probably occur later in July. Probably July 16 or 23, 1988. There's no way a show from April 1988 can be the last 1988 show of any year - I'd be surprised if they did.

Since 'B' shows began in the 80's series at the start of 2015, it hasn't happened often, but it has happened a handful of times. During 2018, there were two shows whose previous airings had been as 'B' shows, that were aired as 'A' shows: 7/3/82 and 8/6/88. It's happened in the 70's series also--one that comes to mind is 7/14/79, which was actually the very first show in either series to be offered as a 'B' show back in 2012 (not counting specials or the 3/25/72 show that was offered as an alternate in the wake of Dick Clark's passing). 7/14/79 was played last July as an 'A'. More recently, 3/11/78 was just aired as an 'A' show earlier this year after being played as a 'B' show in 2013.

There's another song used as an optional extra seven times since Larry Morgan took over. It's not sung by Phil Collins, but co-produced by him! Has to be "I Know There's Something Going On" by Frida, a slow climber at 16 weeks that finally hit the Top 40 in its 17th week. I was a rather naïve 20-year-old in 1981, but I knew that "In the Air Tonight" should have charted much higher than No. 19. It did make it to No. 3 on my personal chart that summer. AOR songs tended to chart lower than I hoped that year (Tom Petty's "The Waiting," for instance). Frida's song had a March feel (a stormy late winter/early spring sound), which may have explained its slow ascent.

6-2-84 was a very enjoyable show to listen to,especially the first hour where the "S" word and the "B" word had to be edited in "Legs" and "Rock You Like A Hurricane." An interesting factoid I stumbled upon. ZZ Top debuted with "Legs", nearly 13 months after "Gimme All Your Lovin" debuted in the Top 40 on May 7, 1983. This was quite a gap between Top 40 hits from the same album without sountrack hits, hits from previous albums, or re-released material hitting the Top 40 in the light of a long running album. The only other act that I could think of that did this was Lita Ford with "Lita" in which "Kiss Me Deadly" debuted on 5-14-88 (speaking of lame edits, a song we'll hear next week) On 4-22-89, 11 months after "Kiss Me Deadly" debuted , her duet with Ozzy Osbourne on "Close My Eyes Forever" debuted on the Top 40 from the same album "Lita"

The only other act that I could think of that did this was Lita Ford with "Lita" in which "Kiss Me Deadly" debuted on 5-14-88 (speaking of lame edits, a song we'll hear next week) On 4-22-89, 11 months after "Kiss Me Deadly" debuted , her duet with Ozzy Osbourne on "Close My Eyes Forever" debuted on the Top 40 from the same album "Lita" In both cases, there was a non-Top 40 single in between ("Sharp Dressed Man" and "Back To The Cave") that explains some of the gap. Not all of it, though; in both cases, that non-Top 40 single followed immediately on the heels of the first hit, and there was then a months-long gap between the non-Top 40 single and the second hit. I'm not sure why that happened in either case. During the gap between "Gimme All Your Lovin" and "Legs" (or even just in between "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Legs", despite the lack of a commercially released single), Eliminator never went away on AOR radio. It reached its all-time peak position of #9 on the Billboard album chart in November 1983, and never fell any lower than #26 before the success of "Legs" caused it to start climbing again in the spring of 1984. The single of "Legs" is heavily remixed; did the remix prompt someone to say, "We just have to release that as a single - it's a hit!"? In the wake of the chart success of "Legs", Eliminator would climb as high as #10 on the album chart. It didn't ultimately fall out of the Top 40 of the album chart until November 1984, and didn't drop completely off the 200-position Billboard album chart until the fall of 1986. By contrast, in between "Back To The Cave" and "Close My Eyes Forever", Lita appears to have been all but given up for dead. It was completely off the Billboard album chart for a period of about five months in late 1988 and early 1989. I don't know what prompted the record label to allow the album to lay fallow for all that time, then release "Close My Eyes Forever" as a single in the spring of 1989. In its initial period of popularity in 1988 prompted by "Kiss Me Deadly", Lita peaked at #29. When it returned to the chart in 1989, it reached a peak of #29 again for a second time.

Two other 80s albums had notably long gaps between the release of singles. Many people thought that "Don't Lose My Number" was the last single from No Jacket Required, as its run ended in the fall of 1985 and "Take Me Home" was not released until March. Of course, this was understandable, as I'm pretty sure they halted single releases so Phil wouldn't have to be competing with himself, as his duet with Marilyn Martin, "Separate Lives" started climbing the charts as "Don't Lose My Number" was waning.
The other example is Billy Joel's An Innocent Man. "Leave A Tender Moment Alone" had its run in the summer of 1984 and did not release "Keeping The Faith" until late January, 1985. The first five singles were released roughly three months apart (except for the first two, which were released within two months of one another), and "Keeping The Faith" was released nearly eight months after "Leave A Tender Moment Alone".

The first five singles were released roughly three months apart (except for the first two, which were released within two months of one another), and "Keeping The Faith" was released nearly eight months after "Leave A Tender Moment Alone". I'm assuming that the reasoning behind Phil Collins' releases were as you say--that there was some sort of agreement with the record companies not to release another single from No Jacket Required on top of "Separate Lives", though this hadn't always been the arrangement in the past with soundtrack songs (see Madonna's releases off of Like a Virgin while "Crazy for You" was high on the Hot 100, and same for Diana Ross' singles from Diana during the release of "It's My Turn".) There are other cases of a second release from an album not making the top 40 created such a gap. It happened a few times during 1986 and '87 with the Jets (between "Crush on You" and "You Got It All"), Jody Watley (between "Looking For a New Love" and "Don't You Want Me"), and Prince (between "Sign o' the Times" and "You Got the Look"), though those gaps seemed to be lesser than Phil Collins', Lita Ford's and ZZ Top's. Billy Joel's is maybe the biggest mystery -- doesn't make a lot of sense that "Keeping the Faith", which debuted on 2/9/85 wouldn't hit the top 40 until nearly five months after "Leave a Tender Moment Alone" (which had its last week in the 40 on 9/15/84). Curious if there may have been a release in between that didn't chart on the Hot 100 at all? Though that seems unlikely with Billy's popularity and the success of that album at the time. Or between Billy and his record company (Columbia/CBS at the time), did they decide that it was worth releasing "Keeping the Faith" a few months after "LATMA" had dropped out?

Different sources show the release date of "Keeping the Faith" as either September or December of '84. December sounds more believable to me. And I think what held it up was that a special remix was done just for the 45, an increasingly common strategy at that point.

Another factor was that "Keeping the Faith" also had a big-budget video, which included then-wife Christie Brinkley. CBS may have wanted to release the single and video at the same time, and the video shoot may have been held up or delayed until later than originally planned.

Good news for those of you who are members of the Charlene Fan Club... The June 5, 1982 program this week is one of only three AT40 shows where "I've Never Been To Me" is played twice.
