Sorry to be so daft, but since the In Demand is not up for 1982, is next week 1987 or 1984--I just saw both mentioned. Thanks.

For what it's worth, we should soon be getting a reprieve from the Premiere/SiriusXM overlap. Premiere is playing 1983 next week and the VJs aren't due to play that year for another month or so. And unless Premiere is planning to do another 1984 repeat from last year, we shouldn't be seeing an overlap of that year either. (In theory, of course.)

Mine.Worse, we should just pencil in 7/4/87 to follow right now. And with the news that Premiere will be doing that exact date next weekend, it just gets more painful. |

Here is a piece of trivia regarding the last 1982 VJ Big 40 show (in case the SXM-80s Channel never posts about it on their Facebook page):
The panel covered by that show (June 19 of 1982) was the last Hot 100 panel that Billboard's now Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart was officially named "Hot Soul Singles". The following week (June 26 of '82), that chart would be renamed "Hot Black Singles". An article on the June 26 issue of the magazine stating that the name change was based on the fact that "blacks [sic] have been making and buying pop music of greater stylistic variety than the soul sound since the early 1970s". The #8 single on that last '82 Big 40 panel, "Let It Whip", by The Dazz Band, held the #1 spot of the Hot Soul chart on the week of this countdown.

1984, assuming it happens this week, should at least provide a break in the Premiere/SXM overlap, as it's been five weeks since we last heard that year from Casey. And if nothing else does, in July we should be due for 1989...

I wonder if there will be a special next week, but I don't see it happening because July 4th falls on a Tuesday this year and they axed the Tuesday repeat toward the beginning of the year.

2017 - with the same calendar as this year - is actually the one and only time so far there's been a special in the vicinity of July 4. That was 40 Most Awesome One-Hit Wonders of the 80s, done at the end of June/into the week that would cover July 4.
But we've already had a special "within the year" for this year (which excludes the end-of-year holiday weeks), the completely-unexpected mid-February special. And two "mid-year" specials in the same year has also only happened once, in 2016. So I wouldn't really "bank" on it happening at any future point. (That is to say, when/if they do have two in a given year somewhere "mid-year", it won't be something we can really predict.)
Excluding end-of-year holidays, the next-most popular time for a special has actually been Memorial Day weekend, which has happened five times - 2012, 2014, 2016, 2019, and 2020.

They're going to go with 7/4, aren't they?

Wow, we countdown fans are really getting the shaft next week. Not only the same year from both Premiere and SiriusXM (again!) but in both cases a heavily repeated chart. The worst of both worlds!
At least there *should* be a few weeks of relief from the overlap before we get the inevitable duplication of 8/6/88.

If the order continues: 1981 on 7-7-23, 1989 on 7-14-23, 1983 on 7-21-23, and 1985 on 7-28-23. With half the year over, it's been a great rotation, but it's not too good lately in repeat shows from one year ago. Yes, if 1985 is on 7-28-23, then next would be 1988 on 8-4-23, using the 8-6-88 chart.

One potentially good thing is that if the rotation continues, we could get a rare September 1984 show. Because after playing 6/23 last year, they only waited nine weeks to play 1984 again.

Next week it'll be all about 1981, most likely 7/11.

Next week it'll be all about 1981, most likely 7/11. Or less likely 7/4/81. Either way at least that won't be replicated by Premiere at any point, unlike this and several recent weeks. |
