I forgot to point out that this past weekend saw another song appear on the Big 40 for the first time ever -- Obscene Phone Caller. Which, between this and Premiere, gives us the rare occurrence of both countdowns featuring a two-week wonder song in the same weekend.

Is that just on the 4th itself, or is the idea that that would supplant 1987 over the course of the next week? I meant the whole July 4th weekend. They have the schedule up and it appears not to get in the way of any of the Big 40 airings. Speaking of which I wouldn't be surprised if they'll have an extra airing or two of the countdown on July 4th or even Friday morning. That's why the "On Demand" feature is so great--listen when you want to in case like you say the other shows may overlap or preempt. Thanks for that Laura.

I also have a feeling that we could get 1989 again sometime in July. With them pushing certain years up, it wouldn't surprise me if we get a show from that time.

I use the on demand feature a lot, and especially in cases where the VJs and Premiere feature the same year in the same weekend. Then I will listen to the Big 40 a week later to avoid overdosing on the same songs.

This was like the fastest moving 87 ever. Next week's not AT40...1980!! I thought so too. It did look like there were more shorter songs than usual for that year. Let's just hope and pray then that they go with 7/12. Figured they wouldn't do 1988 because of the whole consecutive year thing but someone at least has got to let them know about that chart date I won't bring up. Also I just remembered if they go with 7/12, they would be copying Premiere, so either way it would be a bit of a letdown.

Either we get yet another repeat of a week that's been broadcast the last several years, or the same one as Premiere's Casey offering. Couldn't they have waited another week or two--note that 1987 was featured a bit sooner than expected in a roughly 10 week rotation.

I just realized that we'll be going to Funkytown for two weeks in a row.

I just realized that we'll be going to Funkytown for two weeks in a row. That's happened twice before: 2012 (7/12/80 + 7/18/87) and 2015 (6/28/80 + 7/4/87).

It also happened at least once with Always On My Mind. Five times, in fact: 2013 (5/15/82 + 5/21/88), 2014 (4/16/88 + 4/24/82), 2017 (4/17/82 + 4/23/88), 2020 (5/29/82 + 6/4/88), and 2021 (6/4/88 + 6/12/82).

Yes, but strange that he said mid-July on the 8th? This is the third time that they are going with four days ahead of the actual date instead of back three days.

Rejoice, they are doing 7/12/80! I might rejoice if we weren't getting the exact same show from Casey this week. I'll give one thumb up for at least not doing 7/5 yet again.
