I have a copy of the show from 9/12/81 where Gary Owens guest hosted-That show was played by Premiere shortly after Owens died in 2015.

Problem is 9/5/81 also ran in 2016 as the B, as was 9/6/86 as an A, but 9/7/85 last ran in 2015. I'm leaning towards 9/7/85 for next week and if so that would be a standalone (9/6/86 would also count for that). My gut feeling is they'll hold off 1981 until the 2nd weekend in September. If they go with 1981 next week I think the 2nd weekend will likely be 1985 if it is not the B, or they could maybe bend the rules and pick a year that wouldn't otherwise be that close to the chart date due to the guest hosts in September around this time.
Seems like September is a hard month to predict with many years already selected less than three years ago.

Yeah, I wished we would, but there would have to be an agreement to have the guest hosted shows be aired (they do air them if they pass on) as well as the 80s Shadoe shows via Cumulus/Westwood One as a distributor (perhaps Premiere and Cumulus could work together on it). Not holding my breath on it though...

Not holding my breath on it though... If that were to come to pass then we could hope for regular 1990s Casey countdowns; combining CT40 with AT40 2.0 (3.0?) would cover almost the entire decade, minus a few weeks in early 1998. But again, don't hold your breath; this isn't the first time that's been mentioned here or likely elsewhere.

Regarding this week's August 29, 1987 show...
...Casey fulfilled three Long Distance Dedication requests.
...George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" appeared in the countdown. Did Casey offer the song's title during this program? He did not, furthering the inaccurate belief that he *never* did. In fact, he (or guest host Charlie Van Dyke) mentioned the title on occasion, including 9/19/87 (the song's last week in the countdown) and 9/26/87, as part of a list of singles which had fallen out of the Top 40.

How was it decided which times Casey mentioned "I Want Your Sex" and which times he didn't? Was it just random?

^Not the '85 show I assumed we'd get in September (was guessing 9/21/85). So indeed the next 1981 show will wait until 9/19/81 if not later.

If 1985 was still getting B's, yeah, I'd guess 1981 would still very much be in play for that weekend. But I'd say 9/19 looks pretty good.

The following post from almost two years ago gives the answer you seek: Why'd Casey have such an aversion to saying, 'I want your sex'. They were just 4 ordinary English words. I don't get it either. The song was even edited to take out "Sex", so instead of "I Want Your Sex" it was the next line "I want your love". The song title was mentioned five times during its chart run (April 7/1987, June 20, June 27, September 19 and December 9(?)) during the week ending episode of September 26 when it dropped out of the Top 40 and during the Top 100 of 1987 show. When Casey or Guest host Charlie Van Dyke refused to say the title they instead said things like "the new single from George Michael", "George Michael's latest hit is up five notches.." Etc. So yeah, I don't get it. Casey would have trouble with today's songs, "I Want Your Sex" is nothing compared to songs from Katy Perry, Nicky Minaj, Britney Spears ( If U Seek Amy anyone?) etc...but "I Want Your Sex" was controversial, for that time at least.

When 9/7/85 last aired in 2011 and 2015, these were the optional extras:
"Part-Time Lover" - Stevie Wonder (#43; highest debut) "Miami Vice Theme" - Jan Hammer (#59) "I'm Goin' Down" - Bruce Springsteen (#48) "And She Was" - Talking Heads (#94)
I am thinking they will stay the same for the third time this year, would be shocked if any were changed.
