A couple of back to back 'A' show things almost happen as a result. Almost have back to back 'A' shows with "I'm so Excited" in it as it was 2 weeks away from debuting this week in 1982 and is solidly in the 1984 show. Have Casey mentioning Grandmaster Melle Mel as part of "I Feel For You" in the 1984 show. He could have mentioned him in the 1982 when he mentioned Sylvia Robinson. Because one of the biggest early rap hits that she was in on was partly done by Melle Mel, "The Message" It was on the R&B chart after being in that top 5 the week of the 1982 show.

So next weekend for Halloween weekend we wrap up the month of October 2016 with the second 1984 show for the month - October 27, 1984? WHAT A PRE-HALLOWEEN SURPRISE!

It's been confirmed: next week's show is 10/27/84, never played before and so being offered all by its lonesome self.
Arguably only four weeks since the last 1984 show is a bit close together, but they did the same for 1983 this month and no one's complaining, especially since this is new.

One other possibility comes to mind here. Could it be possible we might get a repeat of the November 1980 show that originally aired prior to Election Day when Ronald Reagan was elected President? If I recall, November 5 is Election Day--wait a minute, it's on a Saturday this year. So November 1, 1980 would be a good candidate for a repeat broadcast on Election Day this year.
I cannot see two 1984 shows aired within the same calendar month. The extra 1984 show that aired in July 2010 was probably more because they had originally planned on airing July 25, 1981, but the copy was not remastered in time for the broadcast, so July 21, 1984 was most likely a Plan B.
But I can see one of the two remaining December 1986 shows airing around Christmas, which may imply that 1982 will likely be designated as the year end show.

11/1/80 was also aired in 2008 and 2012--both presidential election years. That may be a coincidence, but if they want to air an election year AT40 that's the last one left, with 1984 next week and 1988 not an option. In any case, we're just about due for a 1980 A show.
(BTW, for the 70s presidential election years, we get 1976 this week and quite likely 1972 next week.)

One thing I noticed about the 10/27/1984 show: The entire second hour has the same split logo jingle to open all segments (first one excluded, of course). Segments 3 and 5 are the instrumental version, which are also used for segments 3 and 5 in the other three hours of the show. In fact, every AT40 show from 10/20/1984 to 12/8/1984 use that same opener in segments 3 and 5 in all four hours.
And as most of us know, "Purple Rain" was at #4 - and Prince passed six months ago today.

(BTW, for the 70s presidential election years, we get 1976 this week and quite likely 1972 next week.) But regarding 11/1/1980 aired in 2008 and 2012 - Both times aired the 3 AT40 1960's #1 song Archives songs from that week were omitted not even going to OPTIONAL EXTRA status (which was the same reason when the 11/1/1980 AT40 episode was aired in the AT40 Flashback series back in November 2001 but started with Hour #2 at the November 2001 time). But if 11/1/1980 gets played again the weekend of November 5-6, 2016 (which at the time the AT40 Christmas shows will be B show options), will the 3 AT40 1960's #1 song Archives songs be restored in the show and/or at least one of them if not all 3 get OPTIONAL EXTRA status?

Maybe for Halloween weekend for the 10/27/1984 AT40: The 80's episode all 4 OPTIONAL EXTRAS will be Halloween related, so these will be my guesses: 1) "Thriller" - Michael Jackson 2) "Ghostbusters" - Ray Parker, Jr. 3) "Looks That Kill" - Motley Crue 4) "Cleaning Up The Town" - The Bus Boys (heard in the 1984 "Ghostbusters" movie) All 4 are from the same year - 1984 - "Thriller" and "Ghostbusters" made the AT40 reaches, while "Looks That Kill" and "Cleaning Up The Town" did not make the AT40 reaches but made Billboard's Hot 100 with both being my HALLOWEEN 1984 CURVEBALL PICKS.
However, if Halloween related OPTIONAL EXTRAS aren't featured, these 4 1984 regular songs will be my OPTIONAL EXTRA guesses for the 10/27/1984 AT40: The 80's episode: 1) "We Belong" - Pat Benatar 2) "Valotte" - Julian Lennon 3) "Hello Again" - The Cars 4) "Jungle Love" - The Time

With 1984 scheduled for next weekend, this will mean that the latter half of 1984 will have been exhausted, and only two more 1984's remain to be aired: February 25 and May 12. I have a feeling one more 1984 show will air in December (if any, definitely a repeat), if Premiere wants to air one of the two available February 1984 shows. Given that February 18, 1984 aired during the Winter Olympics that year, I think that would be a candidate for a replay during the 2018 Winter Olympics, so I think there's a pretty good chance we may get February 25, 1984 in the new year.
I can also sense a repeat of a February 1987 show next February too.

"Somebody's Watching Me" is also Halloween-related and from 1984. They played it one Halloween weekend on AT20, plus the local Hot AC station here has played it on Halloween. Larry could do an intro on "Psycho," which is mentioned in the lyrics.

My predictions of OE's for 10-27-84 are Pat Benatar-"We Belong" U2-"Pride (In The Name Of Love)" Jermaine Jackson-"Do What You Do" Rebbie Jackson-"Centipede" The Jacksons were all over the place that week in the Hot 100.. Rebbie and Jermaine debuted with each of their singles in the same week inside the Top 40 Have siblings debuted with separate singles in the same week before or since 11-17-84?
