Next week it'll be all about 1984, meaning all 10 years have been featured at least once so far this year. And another chart (3/10/84) that has never been played by Premiere due to it being a guest hosted AT40, though unlike in this week's show there are no songs in it that Casey never counted down (the #40 song, "Don't Let Go", by Wang Chung, comes fairly close with only two more weeks in the top 40)

I just realized: If this gets followed with 89-80 in that order, it could mean an entire month of non-Casey weeks, and the first streak of such weeks extending to 4. (Back in September there were 3, also involving 89 and 80.) I say "could" because there'd always be the chance that they do 3/22/80 instead of 3/29 (since that Friday will be the 26th). In more practical terms of what has/hasn't been done it would make no difference (neither has yet been done), rather the difference would be in the statistical factoid sense.

I am thinking 1988 will be following 1984 as the programming staff seems to play the year furthest back, which will begin the cycle that started in 2021. I also don't think they give much thought as to whether or not any of the other episodes were a Casey guest show, and not played on AT 40 the 80's. I base this on so much misinformation that is given to Nina, Alan and Mark. A poster stated that interns do the research for the show, but how would we know that to be true?
At least this 1988 show would be 10 weeks after the last one unlike when it was 3 weeks between the December 1987 and January 1988 episode which duplicated 33 songs.

While I agree that it's unlikely that the station programmers give any thought to "when was this chart last played," you have to admit that from April 2020 through now the vast majority of chart selections were unusually good. In some cases they at least appeared to be doing it deliberately, such as when 1988 was due to play in May but it waited an extra four weeks and we ended up with the first-ever June 1988 chart. So while everybody's happy to get 1984 next week, it's one of the only shows in recent memory that repeats a chart from within the past three years. Continuing in order with 1988-1983 will continue to give us recent repeats as well. Personally I refer to things like Oscars, Grammys, and Golden Globes by the year of release of the films or music being considered, or most of it (Grammys, like Billboard year end charts, don't go by exact calendar year), not the year early in which the award was given and ceremony held. I generally do as well, although I admit it always makes me cringe when I hear people refer to Titanic as the highest grossing film of 1997. The film was in theaters for the last seven days of the year and made virtually all its money in 1998. Darn logistics...

I agree with the recent chart selections with the exception of 1988 (1-8-21) being played three weeks after the 1987 episode (12-18-20). Not much thought went into that--just the thought it was a different year without realizing it was 37 years ago in both instances.

I know this is several months off, but I wonder if they'll do 8/1/81 in the beginning of that month because of the 40th anniversary of MTV launching.

I kind of feel like that'd be more likely to be a Premiere thing to do than a Sirius thing to do. But, who knows?
Then again, the calendar this year is kind of unfriendly to that date unless either or both are willing to break being strict on the month - July ends with the 30th and 31st being Friday-Saturday this year. But then, Sirius isn't as strict on that as Premiere is and Premiere's already gone off-week twice past January, so...again, who knows?

And of course it depends on when in either May or June 1981 is featured. As long as 1981 is featured no later than mid-May, it could be worked in on 7-30-21 and run that weekend. For course they don't do extras, but it might be fun to hear "Video Killed the Radio Star." I would love to hear a clip of their first appearances as VJs. Was Nina's voice that raspy back then? Sorry for going on so much, but lastly, a tribute to the 5th original VJ, JJ Jackson, would be great.

Also in response to Laura's request for 1981 on 7-30-21, maybe Martha Quinn could also guest host or speak about the early days of MTV.

3/19 was played just three years ago. Looks like we're hitting a rough patch, chart selection-wise.

Yippee I was right! 1988 started the year and hasn't been played in 10 weeks. Betting on 1983 for the following week.

The programming staff have more interest in what was played ten weeks ago, not three years ago. If you look at trends, they seem to play the ten different years at the start of the year, but sometimes alter the repetition a bit.

I have a feeling they'll switch the order for a couple of years during this next 10-week stretch because that tends to happen anyway.
