10/30/82 has one of the oddest chart dynamics of any countdown in the original Casey era: only ONE song in the entire countdown dropped within the top 40, and that was from #1 to #2, making the biggest dropper in the countdown a song that fell just one notch! Wardlow's finest hour as Billboard chart director? No way! B.S. Wardlow's finest hour, by far and away, was 8/19/78, the Frozen 14. He should have gotten the Nobel Prize in literature for that one. His tactics clearly created both situations--lots of traffic jams on the charts with some crazy drops

Wardlow treated the Hot 100 like his own plaything. And yet, all those years, people called it the authoritative source. I hate to brag, but my Fantasy Top 20s make a heck of a lot more sense.

It looks like it's time for a little I.G.Y. from Donald of Steely Dan next week on the 82 show-One of my favorite songs featured next week. Howard Jones had a decent cover of that song just a decade later. Unfortunately, the 82 show has the infamous YLUML from Debbie Boone as an LDD. We'll also get excited with Rick Springfield, and by The Pointer Sisters from both 1982 AND 1984 !!!!!

Optional extras from the last time 10/30/82 was played (October 27-28, 2012): Hour #1: "Casey tells a Mason Williams story" (originally from show) Hour #2: "Situation" - Yaz (#85) Hour #3: "Africa" - Toto (#75; debuted) Hour #4: "Shadows Of The Night" - Pat Benatar (#44) A very rare case of a piece of the original show voiced by Casey being pulled out as an optional extra in the 80's series. It wouldn't surprise me if that piece were edited back into the base show and replaced with another song on the Hot 100 that was below the top 40 and climbing. Optional extras from the last time 10/27/84 was played (October 29-30, 2016): Hour #1: "Thriller" - Michael Jackson Hour #2: "Ghostbusters" - Ray Parker Jr. Hour #3: "Somebody's Watching Me" - Rockwell Hour #4: Halloween Horror Movie Montage It will be interesting to see if Premiere recycles the extras with the whole Halloween themed thing or if they redo with a more conventional set of songs.

I don't think the optional extras will change. Here's an example of a conventional set of songs for 10/27/84: "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" - U2 (#85; debuted) "Jungle Love" - The Time (#88; debuted) "Wild Boys" - Duran Duran (NR) "We Belong" - Pat Benatar (#45; debuted)

His tactics clearly created both situations--lots of traffic jams on the charts with some crazy drops For instance, "You Dropped a Bomb on Me" spent about 5 weeks at No. 31. It probably should have moved 28-26-29-36 during those four latter weeks. Keeping a record at the same position for a second, unstarred week, created all of those logjams. I believe that rule began sometime near mid-1975. Fortunately, sanity would be restored to the Hot 100 around May 1983, with more logical moves up and down the chart for the next few years.

Now the question becomes, does the story get put back in the show? They dropped the first three, keeping the montage (and making jmack look like a genius). Hour #1: "The Wild Boys" - Duran Duran (would début on the Hot 100 the following week in the 40 at #38) Hour #2: "Hello Again" - The Cars (#60; debuted) Hour #3: "We Belong" - Pat Benatar (#45; highest debut) dL

Prediction for next show:
11/7/87
I really don't see it being anything else. After a little over 2 months 1987 is due and the show last aired in 2010.

Probably gets paired with 11/7/1981, which ran last year during the first weekend of Christmas offerings (11/10). I'm guessing that'll begin this year the weekend of 11/9.

Or 11/7/87 could be played the weekend of November 9th and 10th. 11/5/83 would also make sense for Nov. 2-3, as it was last played in 2011 and, like 1987, we haven't had a 1983 A since August.
