That just leaves 1984 as the year with the longest gap. The next possible new chart for that year would be 6/23, but there's a good chance it could be next week though, and I think Premiere recently featured the chart date in question (6/9).
Still, I hope they'll consider doing 6/1/85 next year. It would certainly be better than them doing the latter half of that month for the umpteenth time.

Indeed, now they're running June 5, 1982, reflecting the midweek change. Had they stuck with 1985, that would have meant not only a too short gap between 1985 shows when there are several other years not played in longer, but yet another year to be encored by Casey next week.

1986 said to be next week. Probably June 7, though June 14 (for which we don't hear the AT40) is possible.

It'll more than likely be 6/7 because of the chart date being closer. From what I'm getting, 6/7 hasn't been done since 2013?

This would be its third time - its previous two were 2013 and 2014.
6/14 would be its second time - though it was done more recently, in 2017.

I knew that 6/14 was done around that time but I still think they'll end up going with 6/7. That being said, I'm hoping they don't neglect 1984 for too much longer like they're appearing to do as of late.

That being said, I'm hoping they don't neglect 1984 for too much longer like they're appearing to do as of late. It would've just been 10 weeks if 1984 were going next instead of 1986, but in truth, the rest of June is much better for 84 - 6/16 has been done, but only in 2012, while 6/23 and 6/30 have not been done. (If 6/9 were going instead of 1986, in contrast, that was last done in 2018.)

That's good to hear. We thought we were getting a 2012 repeat when the erroneous 1980 announcement a couple months ago but next week that could very well happen. The 80s appears to be in better shape with the chart selections so far this month anyway with the 90s and 2000s both being recent repeats to start June off.
Also has anyone noticed that the 80s had put "Running Up That Hill" in their regular rotation now because of its use in Stranger Things?

Of course the 90s being a recent repeat is par for the course these days. With very few exceptions, since last summer they've been playing whatever year was featured two years ago.

They're going with 6/14. As much as I wanted them to do 6/7, at least this date hasn't been beaten into the ground.

Next week it'll be all about 1981.

Next week it'll be all about 1981. Another "good, bad, and ugly" show as Alan might put it, or with the unspoken message that "this is what was on your radio in summer 1981, just before MTV came in and saved you from more of it." Could be either 6/13 or 6/20/81; I'm thinking the later one since they did 6/14/86 this week, which is one day further ahead of this weekend's dates.

It wouldn't make much sense for them to go with the 13th after playing a show that was on the 14th of that month. Even if the last two weekends of 1984 would be new, it's still frustrates me a little that they're waiting this long with it again. Same could be said for 1982. I could understand going outside the usual 10-year cycle, but I'm a little irked that we're almost halfway done through the year and 1984 has only been done once so far. Another thing I find frustrating is that 6/20/81 was done just a few years ago (the same could be said for the other two times it was done so far) and if 81 and 84 were to have been switched, we would have had a 10-year-old repeat followed by a new chart.

Considering that many people consider 1984 to be among the best part of the decade musically, it seems to be the year that gets the shaft most often from the VJs. I feel like at least once or twice a year, we see a 3-4 month gap between shows from that year, and generally this involves skipping over a bunch of new charts to play a beaten-up repeat instead.
