It appears that next weekend's show is from May 5, 1979. "B" show could be from May 4, 1974. 'A' show 4/28/79 Extras: Hour #1: "Makin' It" - David Naughton Hour #2: "Keep On Truckin'" - Eddie Kendricks Hour #3: "Old Time Rock 'n Roll" - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band Hour #4: "Dance The Night Away" - Van Halen The "B" show for this week is from 5/8/1971: Extras Hour #1: "My Blue Heaven" - Fats Domino Hour #2: "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" - Freddy Cannon Hour #3: "Hosanna" - Jesus Christ Superstar Scratch my last comment! 4/28/1979 is airing this May 1-2, 2021 weekend! As for the B show of 5/8/1971, some of us will be glad 5/1/1971 will have to wait until next year at least...but what about 5/15/1971 as an A show possibility within the next 2 weekends after the 5/1-5/2/2021 weekend? And no Meat Loaf extra for the 1979 A show to honor the late Jim Steinman?

For 4/28/79: Hour #1: "Makin' It" - David Naughton (#56) Hour #2: "Keep On Truckin'" - Eddie Kendricks (original AT40 archive extra) Hour #3: "Old Time Rock 'n Roll" - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band (#41) Hour #4: "Dance The Night Away" - Van Halen (#68; debuted)
Interesting that these are the same four extras from the previous airing on 2012. However the hour #2 and #4 extras have been swapped -- "Keep On Truckin'" was the hour #4 extra and "Dance the Night Away" was the hour #2 extra last time around. Makes sense--this puts the Eddie Kendrick extra closer to where it fell in the original show.
For 5/8/71: Hour #1: "Monday, Monday" - The Mamas & The Papas Hour #2: "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" - Freddy Cannon Hour #3: "Hosanna" - Jesus Christ Superstar
According to jdelachjr2002: Premiere added the "My Blue Heaven" extra back in, which was deleted from past airings.
EDIT: I see where LVK's post has "My Blue Heaven" as the 1st hour extra, but jdelachjr2002's post on the Pulse Music Board shows the first hour extra as "Monday, Monday". Jimmy's post indicates that "My Blue Heaven" will be added back in, but not as one of the optional extras...not sure which one is correct?

The "B" show for this week is from 5/8/1971: Extras Hour #1: "My Blue Heaven" - Fats Domino Hour #2: "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans" - Freddy Cannon Hour #3: "Hosanna" - Jesus Christ Superstar This show is notable as it is the week that AT40 shifted the chart date/air date to the end of the week rather than the start of the week. The previous week was a special so no charts were skipped. Also, it is the second of three airings of the then ultra-controversial "Battle Hymn of Lt. Calley" at #37, where it held it previous week's debut position. The following week it dropped to 40, then off.

So much for 4/24/1971 Using the 5/1/1971 Chart which hasn't been aired by Premiere since 2007, it will now be 15 years next year 2022, unless SXM finally does!

Yet we just got a March 1971 show that was aired in 2007 and never thereafter until this year, and which followed another 1971 A by just three weeks. 5/1/71 would have meant three 1971 A's in just over two months, which may have seemed too close together. (It also would have been the third A from 1971 since the last from 1979, which was in January.)

It's not as if Premiere has gone lighter on 1971 that other years, but they have opted to repeat other more recently played shows than re-air ones from the first year or two of the series.

Not really surprising. The 1971 inventory is a lot bigger. Casey wasn't taking a lot of vacation yet. I think there was just one guest hosted show the entire year and maybe a couple specials. You have 48 or 49 regular shows to chose from unlike the other extreme 1988 where Commentary Casey was gone a lot and there are only 7 months of archive.

The 50th anniversary of the very first AT40 I ever heard, as NYC's WPIX-FM picked the show up that week.

You have 48 or 49 regular shows to chose from unlike the other extreme 1988 where Commentary Casey was gone a lot and there are only 7 months of archive. Not really if you compare 1971's inventory of "playable" shows (i.e. Casey hosted non-special countdowns plus year-end specials since those are a part of Premiere's regular rotation each year) to all other years in the 70's. 1971 contained one guest-hosted week and three weeks of specials for a total of 48 Casey-hosted non-special countdowns. By comparison, 1972 and '77 both have 49 playable shows, 1974, '76, and '77 each have 48 playable shows, and 1973, '75, and '78 each have 47 playable shows. Not surprisingly 1979 has the least with 46 (thanks to five guest-hosted shows). The point is more in the shows they've chosen to repeat -- just talking 'A' shows alone, if you figure that each year gets an average of six per year, that's 84 airings of each year between January 2007 through December 2020. Now, add in 2021, plus how ever many 'B' show airings, plus the first four years of the series when Oct 1978 to Dec 1979 shows weren't being offered and it's probably over 100 shows for 1971. That's enough for every playable date during '71 to have been aired twice by now. And even if it weren't that many, they clearly have waited a really long time to give a few of the year's episodes a second airing, which means that a greater majority of the 1971 repeats are shows that have been played more recently than say 2007-2009, as compared to most other years...which was my original point. And I think we can all agree that 1970 and 1988 don't count in any such comparisons.

You have 48 or 49 regular shows to chose from unlike the other extreme 1988 where Commentary Casey was gone a lot and there are only 7 months of archive. You're pretty much dead on. The one guest-hosted show, the first in AT40's then-short history, was on the weekend of 11/6-7: Dave Hull was the first guest host. Casey was making a movie. And only three specials during the year: The first week in January, which was part 2 of the Top 80 of '70; the show from 50 years ago this weekend, which counted down the Top 40 Artists of the Rock Era; and the Top 40 Christmas countdown the final weekend of '71. So 48 weeks of Casey-hosted 'regular' shows in '71. Thanks go to Pete's book for those details.

1971 had two specials, the top 40 artists of the Rock Era in May, which aired 5/1/71 and allowed AT40 to merge its air and chart dates together without missing a week, and the Christmas show in December. 11/6/71 was the only guest hosted show of the year, and the first ever such. Three. The first weekend of the year, Jan. 2/3, was part 2 of the Top 80 of 1970.

Plus wasn't "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas & the Papas originally an AT40 extra from 5/15/1971?! "Monday, Monday" was #1 for the first three weeks of May 1966 so if they used it as an extra in both shows, I'm guessing that is why.
