I'll guess July 15, 1972 and July 12, 1986. (Yes I counted through all the playable shows that basically lined up with the date.)

I went to the 7/12/1986 chart at the UMD and counted, you guessed it, 23 songs by artists that have had #1 songs so we'll definitely be hearing that one next weekend.

However, in the countdown we'll hear instead (July 19, 1986), I counted 24 songs by artists that topped the Hot 100 at some time (even if it was in a different arrangement, such as a solo artist who hit #1 with a group.) |

So a few more curveballs thrown at us by Premiere. I guessed 1986 for this week, but wouldn't have gone with 7/19/86. And the 70's show...this has to be the first time since 2009 I believe that the same show has been aired 2 years in a row. I am guessing that just about everyone will air the 7/15/72 show. This whole thing of offering 2 shows for the same weekend is sort of strange...and this will be the 3rd time out of 4 that a '79 show is involved. With that, here goes for the weekend of July 21st:
80's - 7/23/88
70's - 7/24/76
SXM - 7/23/77
Just gonna keep guessing 1977 for SXM until they finally play it...

Is Andy Taylor in this show? Yes he is and I did not count him as one of the artists who hit #1 because he would have had to have done it apart from Duran Duran. And in case anyone is wondering, in the 1972 show, Layla is one of such songs because Derek and the Dominoes is credited for Eric Clapton since Derek is a pseudonym for Eric. |

OK, but above you just said "at some point in their careers", so I took that to mean at any point, even if it was as a part of a group or duo and their hit on this countdown was solo. |

I see your point. Surprised that Andy Taylor was the only example of that happening in the 2 shows. BTW, I am surprised no one picked 7/12/75 or 7/16/83. Both of those shows had 23 songs by artists who hit #1 at some point. Thought it was neat that there were 2 choices in each decade. But could not fool any of you chart sharks.  |

OK, well my streak of exact right guesses ended last week, but guesses of the right year lives on (still think we should've gotten 7/12/86, but the 7/19/86 show was really good, so no complaints). Also no complaints at the distribution of years on the 80's series--Premiere is doing a bang-up job of spreading things around.
That being said...I am going to guess for the remainder of the year, we will hear quite a few '83 and '84 shows. Premiere went pretty light on both years during the second half of 2011. 1983 made sense since it turned out to be the year-end top 100 show, but 1984 made no sense at all. As far as this year's year-end special goes...are we guessing 1987? And if so, will Premiere be light on those shows from here on out?
With that, here goes for the weekend of July 28th:
80's - 7/30/83
70's - 7/27/74
SXM - 7/30/77
Guessing a repeat for the Premiere 70's show - but this show was last aired in 2007 so it may as well not have been played yet. Going with '77 again for SXM...no reason not to play that show this week.

Regarding 1983 and 1984, maybe Premiere was balancing out the latter part of 2010 when both years were arguably overplayed. 1987 would make good sense for a year end show, whether played in its entirety over two weeks (my preference) or split with another year. |

My guesses for the weekend of July 27-29:
70s: 7/27/1974
80s: 7/25/1981
I know I'm supposed to care about Premiere and running repeats, so I didn't pick the *obvious* choice for next week's 80s show, July 28, 1984, because it was played just last year.
If they don't care - and, I have a sneaking suspicion that they don't - then you have my backup prediction for the 80s show right there.
No backup for the 70s. I'm rather confident we'll get 1974 next week.

I'm rather confident we'll get 1974 next week. I avoid shows that were played the previous year like the plague. Premiere almost never repeats a show from the previous year anymore--that really only happened through 2009 (in the 80's series, the last show to be repeated in consecutive years was 6/4/83, which was aired in 2007, '08, and '09), when they were presumably repeating some of those shows as the listener base for the two series were building. The notable exception for this would be last weekend's 7/14/79 show, but it can be assumed that the 7/15/72 show was the main show, and the '79 show was nothing more than an alternative for stations that didn't play the Disco Special the prior week or maybe just focus more on late 70's programming. |

Predictions for next week's shows:
80's - 8/3/85
70's - 8/4/79
SXM - 8/5/78
Well, I am going for 7 out of 8 on the 80's series (8 out of 8 if you only count the year)...but I have a feeling the streak ends next week. Tough week to guess with too many possible shows that could be aired. I can only rule out 3 years and come up with a 4th that would be less likely, but certainly not out of the question (that would be 1982).
For once the 70's series almost seems easier to guess. Pete stated several weeks ago that the next scheduled '79 show would be in August, and a show this week would mark the first since the 4/28/79 that we have had a regular '79 show (not counting the 7/14/79 show since it appeared to be a last minute throw-in and was not likely originally planned). SXM...who knows. I am not going with '77 this week, which means that's what we'll probably get.

I got the 70s show right, but struck-out on the 80s show.
Surprised we're getting 1983 and not 1981, for which we are really due. Not to mention 1984, which I just did mention, if you're been paying close attention. LOL
So, I'll go with 8/4/84 for the following week's 80s show, with my backup being 8/1/81.
For the 70s show, I'll say it's going to be 8/2/75, with an outside chance of getting 7/31/71, even though the calendar will have flipped over to the month of August.

It should be almost a certainty that we hear an '84 show in August. They didn't do July for obvious reasons, and decided to skip over June. As for '81...8/1/81 is definitely a possibility for next weekend. I am going to go out on a limb and say we get either 8/29/81 or 9/5/81. Another guess: we get a decent amount of '83 and '84 shows from now through December... |
