1982? Well that's a curveball, but earlier this year they did 1987 twice within two months so it's not all that surprising. Plus 9/11/82 is new I think, and because Lee Sherwood subbed for Casey on AT40 that week, it won't be offered by Premiere.

That's two weeks in a row we get charts that Premiere doesn't play, as this week's 9/6/80 was also a guest hosted week. 1989 and 1984 are the years we haven't heard from them in longest, though we get Casey from 1984 next week so good they're not playing it. Next longest is 1981--can that and 1987 wait for October please?

That's two weeks in a row we get charts that Premiere doesn't play, as this week's 9/6/80 was also a guest hosted week. And if 84 goes up next, that'll hit a trifecta (unless they swerve and do 9/22). 89 to close out the month would then make it a superfecta (or a clean sweep, depending on your preferred metaphor).

It would be nice to see them do a clean sweep of dates that won't be aired on Premiere this month. But it's strange that they bump 1982 up so early. Maybe to avoid doing 10/9 again?

Which makes it a slight overcorrection, in that 9/18 or 25 would have been new, and 10/2 was last in 2013. Either way, some digging yields that there've only been two trifectas thus far (August 2017, and following 8/6/88 for the irony , and 2017-18) and both involved Shadoe weeks. If 9/15/84 goes next, that'd mark the first one where they're all guest-hosted weeks.

Eh, at least it's one that hasn't been done in 6 years as opposed to one or two years.

9/11/82 was played six year ago, which I consider an acceptable amount of time for repeating a chart. The oddball selection also sets up some interesting possibilities. For example, 1989 is still due and none of the last three weeks in September have ever been played. Also, we may now get charts from mid-October 1987 and late-October 1988.

Dang, I thought 1989 was going to be covered next week. I guess the Big 40 didn't want to cover a chart with a Treasure Chest (formerly "Lost Hit") recurrent ("Hangin' Tough", by New Kids on the Block) at the number-one spot. It'll probably wait until later this month to avoid an October repeat.
As far as doing one year within a short timeframe (even the shortest timeframe possible), nothing beats the Big 40 covering charts from the 1983-84 season just four weeks apart (the December 24/31 "frozen week" chart of '83, and then the January 21 of '84 chart).

There were two instances when the same year was played three weeks later--1989 in 2016, and 1988 in 2015.

Nothing will ever top the beginning of 2014, when consecutive charts aired on consecutive weeks.
First week of January saw the frozen chart from 12/28/85 air. Second week: 1/11/86.

I still seethe when I remember this. They promoted that first week as "this week in 1985" when it really wasn't. Then Nina Blackwood responded to the backlash on Facebook by explaining that they had "no other options." No other options? I can think of roughly nine...

Are you going to say this every time? It's clear they aren't going to fix it, so why keep mentioning it?

Mark acknowledged the passing of Ronald "Khalis" Bell after "Big Fun".

so why keep mentioning it? Put simply: To annoy you. Put him on block, then you won't have to see what he says anymore.

Next week it'll be all about 1989. I was hoping that 1984 would be up for next week because it would also be a chart Premiere won't be able to air, plus it has an underated Billy Joel song spending its last week on, but alas it didn't happen. 9/16/89 is new regardless, if I'm right, and if 1984's next week, it'll also more than likely be new. I can only remember the last four or so years of shows considering that was when I started listening regularly, so anything before 2016 I'm a bit foggy about.
