To which I am hoping for 12/10/1983 that weekend. That'll complete my December 1983 collection.  I'd rather wait to get 1986 - hopefully the 12/20 show is on tap. (We had the other 12/20 show that weekend last year, 1980!) Yeah, I think it would make more sense to wait and run the 12/20 show, to get on a new show, even though we haven't had an "A" show from 1986 in nearly three months. Actually, they've gone kind of light on 1986 this year. So far, we've heard only four "A" shows from that year (and really, not many "B" shows either). I wonder if that means a surplus of 1986 shows in 2017? Among the shows from that year, aside from 12/27, will probably be the other two remaining shows for 1986 (5/10 and 7/12), since they're two months apart. Other predictions for 2017: 1980: 3/8, 5/31 and 8/9 (or possibly switch the first two with 4/5 and 6/14 - I seriously doubt we'd get all five shows!) 1981: 1/24, 5/23 and 7/25. The 2/7 show might be used instead - either way, I think that one of the early 1981 shows would have to wait until at least 2018. 1982: 2/27 and 6/19 are entirely possible, with possibly an April repeat in between. 1983: Complete 1984: 2/25 and 5/12 are definitely good candidates. 1985: Assuming that we indeed get the 12/28 show, then 11/30 is all that remains - I have a feeling that we'll get that show next year. 1986: Already mentioned above that there's a good chance for them to choose 5/10, 7/12 and 12/27 - the three remaining "new" shows for that year. 1987: 4/4 and 5/16 are all that remain for that year - a little close together, but as long as they run the former on 4/1 and the latter on 5/20, that would give a spread of almost two months. 1988: Complete. I know I'm overdoing it with talking about what AMFMDX said, but earlier this year... I do know from talking to Toby Petty at Premiere that by the end of the year, just about every AT40 will have aired. That statement will hold true even more at the end of next year if the predictions I gave above are correct. In fact, only 1980 and 1981 would have shows left. Anyway, that's just my two cents' worth and nothing more  |

I love the song "Breakout". I just wish I could find it somewhere. Itunes, anywhere. Last time I checked iTunes (just yesterday), they had one or two Swing out Sister "Greatest Hits" collections available, so you should be able to get "Breakout" from there. Hopefully she can get "Breakout". It's a good tune. Although that reminds me, and I guess I caught it on iTunes at the right moment, someone on here a while back was looking for another 1987 act, The Other Ones, who had a hit titled "Holiday" that charted right around the same time as "Breakout". (Was that you too, Jessica? Or should I say, U 2? LOL) For a short while their album was available on iTunes and I downloaded the entire album. Now, it's nowhere to be found. Even "Holiday" isn't available - I just checked the other day. Guess it's back on "Holiday".  |

No it was scheduled based on when the frozen week occurred. If they had done in 1985-87 as you suggested, they would have no chart to countdown the following week because that was the frozen week. They did the year end survey to coincide with the frozen week so they would always have a Hot 100 chart for the regular shows airing. True, and it makes perfect sense - it's just ironic how the chart compilation (from AT40 to Billboard) changed at the same time the frozen week did. Just a minor coincidence there. |

Anyway, that's just my two cents' worth and nothing more Good predictions. Although I wonder, since 2017's calendar lines up with 1984's (January and February), how Premiere could squeeze in both the new 2/25/1984 & 2/27/1982 shows - unless they aired 1984 a week early (a la 11/28/1987 last year). The only calendar that 2017 fully matches in the classic AT40 era is 1978. 1972 & 1984 are partial matches. |

Oh yeah - this is true.
Also - since there are only four weeks in May, they might have to forego one of the shows I mentioned - if not more than that, as all of the shows are from 5/10 and beyond.
A possible scenario would be:
5/6/17 - 5/10/86
5/13/17 - 5/12/84
5/20/17 - 5/16/87
5/27/17 - 5/23/81
I somehow doubt that they would run 5/31/80 the week of June 3, though stranger things have happened. Or they could eliminate the May, 1987 show (after all, as mentioned earlier, it is a little close in date to the other yet-unaired show from that year), put the 1981 show in its place (since the show date is closer anyway) and play the 1980 show the last week of May.
We'll just have to wait and see how they set things up next year.

Still waiting for this week's 1987 show, we've got 3 hits to go from a classic Christmas AT40.

I'm going to make a bold prediction: For the first time in three years, the first weekly show of the year will NOT be from 1983. No applause please, just throw money. |

Casey said "It's A Sin" had hit #1 in 9 European countries.
Wikipedia disagrees (either that or it hit #1 afterwards in one of them): it lists 10 countries: Austria, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
Interesting how John Mellencamp felt that he'd eventually drop the Cougar part of his name, which he did by 1991, and he's been simply his real name, John Mellencamp, ever since.

Yeah, I think you're probably right - namely, because only possible shows from those weeks have both been run during the past two years (1/1 was part of the year-ender, 1/8 was guest-hosted, and 1/29 would be too far ahead). If the predictions I've given for the rest of 2016 hold true (and also if they indeed are planning on running one of the early 1981 shows), then the only show that would fit would be January 19, 1980. January 14, 1984 is also possible, though I'm sort of hoping that they'll hold off on that year until February 25. Of course, with all the love for 1984 lately, it wouldn't surprise me if they did both shows. I have a feeling that we'll be hearing January 24, 1988 sometime in January (most likely the 21st), since they haven't done that show since 2009. To round out the month, we might get the aforementioned January 29 show on the last weekend of the month. |

I hate to keep harping on the editing on AT40 but when Casey says in the intro to "Cherry Bomb", "John Mellencamp changes Bob Seger's sweet 16 has turned 31 into '17 has turned 35, I'm surprised we're still livin'" and the line is edited out, it really is anitclimatic to play the song. I had to hear this part of the show again just to make sure. I listened the first time and thought I didn't hear that line. And not the second time either because they edited it out. ENOUGH ALREADY with the editing. They did it right in 2007 when this aired, that line was left in then. When I saw the JMW post about this, I had to dig this up. I had forgotten that freaky posted about them not editing out that line in 2007. |

That Super Beta Prostate commercial actually makes me miss those Flo from Progressive ads. Jesus.

Nothing. No luck. It's a shame. It's a catchy song but it's so obscure it's difficult to find. Oh well. |

What I did was find a good sounding video of those two songs on YouTube and downloaded the videos and then converted them to MP3. |
