Listening again, I was surprised to hear Nina mentioning Radio & Records before playing "Biggest Part Of Me". It hit #1 on their charts. *glances at the song's Wiki article - where, what do you know!*I'm not surprised. At least she didn't say it went to the top on Billboard.

Rejoice, they are doing 7/12/80! Same at this week's AT40 80s 'A' show? I always dislike that...

Second new chart in a row. Sweet! Appropriately, right after it was announced, they played one of the songs that debuted that week.

The best path now for the next two weeks after would be the two years that haven't been done in the longest: 1983 and 1989, in that order.
Neither will be new, but all things considered each still has an upside: For 1983 it's more that 7/30 was only done in 2012, for 1989 it's that the other August choices all have pitfalls: 8/5 has only been done once in 2018, but 8/12 has been done twice (second time was just last year), 8/19 three times (third time was 2019), and 8/26...hasn't been done, but that'd be pushing that year well back (which I don't think is likely). Also, with Premiere doing 83 next week, that takes that potential obstacle off the table.
(For that matter: The last week of July has but one "new" choice among years that haven't been done this month - 1981, which was just 4 weeks ago - while the first week of August has none at all, as the only first-week years which haven't yet been done...are the three that have gone so far this month, 1980, 1985, and 1987. So the next two weeks after 1988 are each going to repeat something, end of story.)

Yeah, 1983 followed by 1989 will be the best case scenario unless they do something really crazy. What will be the next best bet for any new chart dates?

If 88-83-89 pans out and they keep up the "year that hasn't been done the longest" train, next would be 1982, which hasn't had 8/14 done. (And isn't likely to be obstructed by Premiere, which did that week as an "A" in 2020.) "Doing something crazy" would likely see some form of doing something else after 88 instead of 83, and if 82 lands on either of the next two weeks after 88, that would definitely qualify: 7/31 was done here in 2020, while 8/7 has been done three times (2016, 18, 19).

Does it have to do with the slap heard 'round the world? Uh... nope. I figured you meant "Parents Just Don't Understand" and we all know what happened with Will Smith a few months back.

Here's one hint: #2 is a regular-programming annoyance on SXM-80s, while the summitpeaker is the last of four top-fivers from somebody's debut album (and the only one of those four not to get any recurrent airplay at all on that channel's RP).

OK I get it now. What was with the uh-oh though? Also looking at said chart, we're probably getting one of the more lengthier shows next week.

Nina's absent, so maybe this week won't be quite as long as anticipated. Also for some reason, they used a different opening than the usual.
