Make that surprised x2 going with 8/28/82 next week when there will likely be a later 80s option. Wow...well, I guess that means my prediction of 8/27/83 will not be correct. The only other show I can come up with that would make sense as an alternate show to match with 8/28/82 is 8/30/86, unless they decide to go with a second 1987 show in the month of August... A second 1987 show wouldn't be unreasonable, since it would likely be the "B" show. I'm kind of hoping that they don't use 1986 as the "B" show, as that could mean no 9/6/86 show this year (since they don't run the same year on back-to-back weeks, be it "A" or "B" shows). Unless they go with that show on 9/10. Of course, since there are slim pickings for shows around that date, they could do just that. Plus, that is the only new show for September that's left.

A question was asked on the 8-23-80 show about two different songs with the same title that were in the Top 40 at the same time. Did they leave out the 1971 occurrence with The Carpenters with "Superstar" and The Temptations "Superstar (Remember How You Got Where You Are), even though a subtitle was used in one of the songs? Remember, that happened in 1989 with Roy Orbison's "You Got It" with NKOTB's "You Got It" (The Right Stuff ). This subject came up on a later show that aired in 2013, but I don't know from what year.

Thanks for sharing that... it made the LDD that much more hilarious when I heard it just now on WWIS. I agree, she sounds like the crazy kind of groupie that Ann Wilson was bemoaning in one of last week's countdown's song intros. Perhaps a better song choice for the LDD would have been "Hey There Lonely Girl". Too bad the Bee Gees hadn't recorded that! Johnny Lee's "Looking For Love " might have worked also.

When the 1980 show ended on WOCL this morning, Domino, who is the music director and afternoon drive jock on the station and also does Saturday 10-2 live, made mention that as he was driving into work listening to Casey he forgot "just how many bad songs there were in 1980."

While I agree, I don't think a DJ working for that station should be running down something that airs on it.

There was also "Hold On" in 1990 and "Stop" in 1998.

KZOY is playing the 1980 "A" show today instead of the 1985 "B" show that was scheduled to run starting at 1pm EDT. I just emailed the GM/PD and will post what his response is.

Is it me, or was "Oh Sheila" seriously butchered this week? I don't think that its playing time was much more than a minute.

Well thank goodness for WJER who is airing 1985 now and playing the extras and their own like "We Built This City". Thanks to jmack for giving us info about what stations are playing what. It's much appreciated.

Did you ever think you would hear Lawrence Welk on American Top 40? Calcutta is actually a great record and coming from an old accordian player like me, it is probably one of the few, if not the only record to ever hit #1 that featured an accordian. Kind of surprised Premiere didn't edit out that song, but I'm glad the left it.

Most of my issues are at the start of this week's show: #39 and #38, then #35 and #34, the latter being my least favorite McCartney hit (the album version is even worse than the live 45). The other clunkers for me are #21 (weak Commodores) and #2 (my wife loves SiriusXM's Yacht Rock channel, and I do too -- except when they play Christopher Cross). (Although #19 is better in its cover version by Buckwheat.)

I'm still waiting for a response from KZOY. I am assuming they will replay 1980 tomorrow at 1pm, but I've got my fingers crossed for 1985.

Couple notes:
With 8/11/84 having been last week's show, this marks the second straight week where a song from one of the respective year's biggest movies plummets 18-38. Crazy, though, that that is NOT the week's biggest drop on this particular week.
"Will You Love Me Tomorrow" as the first Archive? Why yes, I did just happen to watch Dirty Dancing earlier this week. (The same could apply to 8/16, whose first Archive is "Stay".)

It also came up on 4/5/86, with the two "I Can't Wait"s; Nu Shooz debuted that week, and the story was told for Stevie Nicks's song. He mentioned it was the third time this had happened, with 1971 being the first; droppieces were also included.

Come to think of it, I want to think that that Diana Ross story about only getting to sing two songs has also been re-told in a later show. I want to say it was one that aired not too long ago - I just don't remember which one.
