Wasn't 1982 featured six times last year? Maybe that has to do with it? The reasoning is pretty dumb if you look at it but it's possible. I'm thinking September will be a mix of 80-82-85-86-88 (of course not in that order). I don't know how many chances we could get new charts from that bunch of years but I know September 1980 has been done a lot. It was 1983 that was played six times in 2021

So 83 and 82 were played six times last year--wow thanks for clarification.

I hope I am keeping a correct listing, but has 1982 only been played twice this year--February and June? Since 8-26-22 is 1984, that leaves 18 Fridays in 2022. If 1982 is played in early September, it would likely only be played in November, so that would only be 4 shows in 2022. 1987 could possibly be played two more times this year, for a total of seven. I think whoever schedules the years is partial to 1987, and doesn't care for 1982.

That's correct. At the beginning of the year the wait was fine, as 82 had been done in December. Since then? Not so fine.

Since we're getting 1985 from Premiere next week, that either means the VJs will either play 1985 over Labor Day or the exact same year as whatever Premier is playing that weekend. It gets worse, or so I was just reminded on the Premiere side - guess what two years haven't been A's in the longest on the 80s side? 1982 and 1986. So expect the "Premiere mimicry" to continue for the time being.

Next week's Copycat Casey...1982

And a Premiere copycat too. Oh joy. At least we finally break the drought.
So that leaves 1986 with the longest gap between plays now. If we get it next week, there's still a good chance we'll get 9/6. I would predict the rest of the month but I just know it won't be right.

While the 1982 drought is long, at this point it wouldn't have made much difference if they had waited one more week and done 9/11/82, which Premiere will never play as it was guest hosted. Don't know if the VJ's have done that one, though.
After Labour Day weekend, 1986 will be the year with the longest drought from both services. Of other years, I don't know when SXM last played 9/6/80 but that at least is another week we don't get from Premiere. And since we get Casey from 1985 this weekend, either 9/7 or 9/14 would work for SXM (if I were hosting for them and had to do 9/14/85, I'd probably slip in an allusion to you-know-what relating to "Dare Me".)

Not necessarily...the Friday after next would be the 9th, which would leave 9/6 still in play to be done. I actually edited my comment once I checked the calendar. For some reason I thought that Friday fell on a different date. So yeah hopefully 1986 will be next up.

I know 9/11/82 was done just two years ago, so that would have made it a recent repeat.

As was 9/6/80. In both cases that was the second time for both, so there's really no sense for either to have gone again this year.
However, should 86 follow 82, then 80 will be the year not done in the longest. And 9/13/80 has only been done once, in 2013 - so this year would be a fine time for that week to come back.

Regarding the Countdown of 1982 on 9-2-22, which will feature 9-4-82, Gloria by Laura Branigan debuts in the Top 40, and stays in the Top 40 for the entire months of September thru January 29, 1983. For the Hot 100, 36 weeks! It never did hit #1, but I believe if all its weeks had been in the same survey year it would have been #1 or very close for the entire year.

It would have been fun to have had a "Hanging By A Moment"-like thing happening if that were to have happened. Also her record stood until "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes spent way more weeks in the Hot 100 (I forgot how many). Is that still the record? Another thing is that it reached #1 on the Cashbox chart. I don't think it stayed as long as overall as it did on Billboard but it did reach the top somewhere.
