When 9/7/85 last aired in 2011 and 2015, these were the optional extras: "Part-Time Lover" - Stevie Wonder (#43; highest debut) "Miami Vice Theme" - Jan Hammer (#59) "I'm Goin' Down" - Bruce Springsteen (#48) "And She Was" - Talking Heads (#94) I am thinking they will stay the same for the third time this year, would be shocked if any were changed. It´s a good selection. 1985 has a lot of good songs, even this selection wouldn´t be bad: David Foster - Love Theme From St. Elmo´s Fire Loverboy - Lovin´ Every Minute Of It Scritti Politti - Perfect Way Starship - We Built This City

WKIX is playing the 1984 option, while WPLP is airing last week’s 1983 show. Not sure if they air the previous week’s shows on a somewhat regular basis, or if this is a mistake or something.

^WPLP-LP Bulldog 93.3 is a week behind. The station will air last week's 1977 show tomorrow morning.

Regarding this week's August 29, 1987 show... ...Casey fulfilled three Long Distance Dedication requests. ...George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" appeared in the countdown. Did Casey offer the song's title during this program? He did not, furthering the inaccurate belief that he *never* did. In fact, he (or guest host Charlie Van Dyke) mentioned the title on occasion, including 9/19/87 (the song's last week in the countdown) and 9/26/87, as part of a list of singles which had fallen out of the Top 40. Some other things I found notable: Casey did a story about Tower of Power, whose horn section backed up Huey Lewis & the News on their countdown hit, and we hear it in the same week that the 70s countdown included one of TOP's original hits, "Don't Change Horses (In the Middle of a Stream)". Another Tower member, singer Lenny Williams, hit AT40 soon after singing Kenny G's hit "Don't Make Me Wait For Love". In this countdown we hear the album version of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again". Usually AT40 played the single remix, though the version heard this week is the one that gets the recurrent play and so will be more familiar to current listeners. This is one of a number of 1987 shows that feature a hit from Smokey Robinson along with ABC's salute to him, "When Smokey Sings". But Smokey didn't write the hit included here, "One Heartbeat"--something I didn't know or forgot about until Casey pointed it out here.

This is one of a number of 1987 shows that feature a hit from Smokey Robinson along with ABC's salute to him, "When Smokey Sings". This is very likely to happen again on the current version of AT40. "Post Malone" by Sam Feltd is right below the Top 40, while Post Malone is currently charting with "Goodbyes" and "Wow."

This week completes the "La Bamba" trifecta. Los Lobos was at #1 with the title song from that movie on this week's 87 show. Last week, we heard Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats who played Eddie Cochran in that movie with "She's Sexy and 17" on last week's 83 show. Two week's ago, we heard Marshall Crenshaw who played Buddy Holly with "Someday, Someway" from the 82 show.

"Post Malone" by Sam Feltd is right below the Top 40, while Post Malone is currently charting with "Goodbyes" and "Wow." Big difference being that your average person in 1987 knew who Smokey Robinson was. Who or what the heck is a 'Post Malone'?

With 1985 next week, now it's okay to say that Snuggles can rest in peace for another year, missed by one week if my math is right. Gotta say that i thought this week's 1987 show was not that enjoyable for me. Something about the music in 1987 and 88 just doesn't do it for me. Great to see 1985 back!!

Mix1077 (Iheart) out of Dayton should have bonus Casey on tomorrow (Labor Day) from 6 -10 AM Eastern. It will most likely be the 1987 show.

Gotta say that i thought this week's 1987 show was not that enjoyable for me. Something about the music in 1987 and 88 just doesn't do it for me. Great to see 1985 back!! Mike, I agree. Late 1987/early 1988 was a weak musical period, with precious, few number one songs that I actually liked. Seriously - between July, 1987, when "Alone" by Heart was #1 and February, 1988, with "Could've Been" by Tiffany at the top, the number one songs were, IMO, mediocre at best - that is, at the time, as I've since come to like a few of these songs, while many others I'm still burned out on. And during that time, especially the fall and winter, it seemed like my favorite songs ran out of gas before they hit the Top Ten - some of them coming nowhere near. So yeah, you are definitely not alone in your feelings about the music during 1987 and 1988 - and there are others that agree. That might be one of the reasons that those two years are always paired up with a "B" show when they come up in the rotation.

I think you are referring to WTKU out of Atlantic City instead of WKTU out of New York City. Shane but as far as I know NYC doesn’t broadcast classic American top 40’s and I’m not sure they ever well .
