I dont know why you think just because of this that Premiere doesn't have access to all the shows. They've been remastered. Why would you think they don't have them? SXM probably does too but I don't know and the way they treat it I really don't care. the late 78-79 shows present a problem. The weekly retro shows are slotted for 3 hours. Those shows are 4. They feel they must give enough time to affiliates to adjust if they have any prayer of airing the full 4 hour shows. They have just begun this procedure so are only airing I guess a total of 4 this year. Next year, they might air a few more. I also do not understand what's so great about 6/30/79 that if it waited a year or two more to air would lose its significance. It may be historic, but it's not one of the big anniversary numbers on it coming up like when Premiere missed the chance to run the 12/13/80 show on the 30th anniversary a couple years back.

If it is not that they don't have all the shows at their disposal, than maybe it is the dreaded corporate effect on radio rearing its ugly head here. Corporations dictate that only certain songs are played on these various oldies formats that we are always discussing here. The same principal seems to apply here. They are playing a 1977 show for the 4th time when shows from the same week in 1973, 74, 76, 78 and 79 have never been played. They are playing a 1980 show that last aired in 2009 when no other June 1980 has ever aired and shows from the same week in 1981, 82, 84 and 85 have never been played. So maybe they got ratings info. on shows and have determined that only certain shows can be played. Sounds like a corporate radio decision to me.

So maybe they got ratings info. on shows and have determined that only certain shows can be played. Sounds like a corporate radio decision to me. I can buy that reason. In fact that may be it, there could also be another couple of possibilities although maybe less so: 1.) The person/people responsible for picking the shows didn't realize it's been aired so much/felt like a 1977 show was due for this week. I know it was played a month ago but that doesn't mean they necessarily realize that depending on how far in advance the choose the airings. For all we know they picked up to May in January, and did June-October in late May. It's not an excuse, just saying. And I'm sure those responsible have other responsibilities at Premiere and retro versions of old countdowns isn't a top priority. 2.) it's summer and whoever responsible for clocking everything out goes on vacation and it's easier around now to play what's already been done. Again, not a justification, just saying a possibility. |

Casey lite: 1980 SXM: 1976 70s: 1972 80s: 1982 I don't think Premiere will do 1972 next week; that would likely mean either everyone playing the top 40 hits of the Rock Era special, which may be too un-70s to fit the format (only 7 songs from that decade), or 7/8/72, which they just did last year. Maybe they could skip ahead to 7/15, but that would fit better the following week. |

I think it is rather obvious that Premiere and by extension SXM, do not have all the shows available (besides the second show). So in light of that, I am not going to go through this charade of predicting shows anymore. To think they are going to go 3 months between 1979 shows when they are still WAY behind in shows played that year because they did not start playing shows from that year until late 2010 is startling to say the least. And that is why I say it is obvious that they don't have all the shows at their disposal. Which is too bad especially when you consider the historic chart week presented in the show from 6/30/79.  If I didn't misread the 70's: this weeks show thread, this 1977 show hasn't been aired before. |

I read a post on that thread which stated that a show was played 3 times previously. But upon rereading it, I am not sure which show that post refers to. I assumed that it was referring to the 6/25/77 show. Obviously if it was referring to some other show, then they are playing a show that had never been played before. Still perplexed about the 1980 show. The previous 3 non-guest hosted from that year have never been played (not that either of those could have been played this week and there are other shows from this week in the 80s they could have played).

No, it was the 6/18/77 show.

OK...interesting week to predict. I have already announced my 80's pick, and the 70's should be down to three shows. It sounds like the 7/1/72 "Top 40 Artists of the Rock Era" special will air again? There are 7 show I can eliminate, but...1970 jumps back into the fold starting this week...
80's - 7/3/82
70's - 7/3/71
SXM - 7/6/74 - Top 40 Acts of the 70's So Far Special

The previous 3 non-guest hosted from that year have never been played (not that either of those could have been played this week and there are other shows from this week in the 80s they could have played). Yes--this will be Premiere's first airing of the 6/25/77 show (SXM did play it last year). I am with you--really puzzled as to why a 1979 show wasn't aired in June, especially when you consider they had FIVE shots at it (i.e. both 1979 and 2012 had 5 Saturdays in June--the exact same June calendar in fact). Last week they played a 1973 show that was played just two years ago, and this week (as dukedeb says) they are airing a '77 show for the fourth time in 2012. Add to it that the next 1979 show they would be able to air would be 7/21/79, as the 7/7/79 show is the Disco Special, and Premiere aired 7/14/79 last year. Doesn't make any sense... As for the 1980 show...well, if it were me I would have aired 6/14/80 a few weeks ago, and aired 6/29/85 this weekend. That way we could have gotten two unaired shows instead of two repeats (6/8/85 and 6/28/80). Given the way things played out however, I wasn't at all surprised they chose 6/28/80. |

Technically, it was four chances as Bruce Phillip Miller subbed for Casey on one of those June dates (6/9). |

Well no predictions so far for next week, so it looks like I will be the first to chime in. Really down to 3 years (and about 5 shows) possible in the 80's series, and I am making the same prediction I made on this weekend last year. For the Premiere 70's...wondering when that first 1970 show will be aired...SXM is long overdue for a '77 show. With that, here goes for the weekend of July 14th:
80s - 7/12/86
70s - 7/15/72
SXM - 7/9/77

Bruce Phillip Miller sat in for Casey on July 16, 1977. Oh darn...did that again, and it looks like I led lasvegaskid astray in the process (of course, 7/9/77 could be aired?). Maybe I am subconsciously refusing to believe that Bruce Phillip Miller guest hosted a few shows? |

A bit of change up this week everybody. Usually the next show clues are in the 70s and 80s show threads. But this time, it is in this thread. Why? Because both shows have 23 countdown songs by artists which hit #1 on the Hot 100 at some point in their careers. (That means extras do not count toward the total). And there is your clue for next week's shows!
