They should put the old videos back on MTV since none of their shows (if you can call them shows) are being filmed right now. Watching old music videos for about a year or two wouldn't hurt before they resume their hot garbage programming. Amen! I'd even rather see old episodes of 'Remote Control' from 'Kenny's basement'. Also-old episodes of Beavis and Butthead would be a plus. MTV unplugged concerts would have be included.

8/06/1983 has only been played once before by Premiere, in 2015. The optional extras then were: Hour 1 - Lindsey Buckingham "Holiday Road" Hour 2 - The Stray Cats "(She's) Sexy + 17" Hour 3 - Frank Stallone "Far From Over" Hour 4 - Elton John "Kiss the Bride" The first three are great, imo. Replace Kiss The Bride.

If 1982 happens to be selected, one thing I've noticed from the original shows:
Donna Summer's "Love Is In Control (Finger On The Trigger)" is in mono on every show from its debut on 7/17 through 8/21. It is in stereo for the remainder of its run in the 40 (8/28 to 9/25). On the 9/25 show, it moved up from #11 to #10. In a shocker for 1982, this song did NOT hold - it plummeted out of the 40 the following week (10/2), which was guest-hosted by Mark Elliott. Unsure if Premiere had replaced any mono with stereo versions in their rebroadcasts.
Just happened to run through these late summer 1982 shows and decided to look into this more.

Donna Summer peaked at #11 , for two weeks (Sept 4 & 11), with Love Is In Control on the Cash Box charts and then slowly worked down the chart until it exited the Top 40 on Oct 2, 1982. Maybe that is why Billboard had the song drop out of the Top 40 that same week.By the way, the song peaked at #17 in Radio & Records the first week of September.

Just more evidence of Billboard's wonky chart compilations. On 9/11, it was spending its 4th week at #12, appearing to have peaked. Then, on 9/18 and 9/25, it climbed to #11 and #10, while descending on the Cash Box charts. Donna Summer just HAD to have another top 10.

Prediction for next show:
8/14/82
Eliminating all years that couldn't be featured that leaves 1982 and 1984 and the 1982 show hasn't aired as an 'A' in twice as long as 8/11/84 or 8/18/84 and also 1982 was last an 'A' in June while 1984 had a standalone in July so 1982 is more ripe.

But 1982 and 1984 may be better bets.

Actually if Record World had survived a few months longer the song definitely would have made the Top 10 on their charts. As RW had 6 of Donna's songs hit #1 while she had only 4 in both Billboard & Cash Box and just 2 on R&R.

8/15/87 could be featured, as 1987 was last an A in June--after this coming weekend, longer than any other year--and three weeks after it was a B isn't too close. But 1982 and 1984 may be better bets. I wouldn't be surprised if 1987 is held off until Labor Day weekend (9/5), unless Premiere does something stupid like airing 8/15 on the weekend of August 22. Whether 8/6/83 or 8/8/87 was to have been featured for this coming weekend, I figured 8/14/82 was most likely to follow. (If it had been 83, which it is, then: 8/6/83, 8/14/82, then - [no idea]. If it had been 87, then: 8/8/87, 8/14/82, then 8/20/83.)

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 8/14/82 2nd Guess - 8/11/84
Another week where there appears to be a clear front-runner. The second guess goes to 1984 for the second straight week, simply because there really aren't any better options. 8/15/87 would be if it hadn't already been played three times since 2012, including a 'B' show spin two years ago. I'm thinking the next 1987 airing will happen Labor Day weekend. I was hoping we would get 8/15/81 (last played in 2009) next weekend, but I don't know that Premiere has ever aired two 1981 'A' shows within a four week period.

You know what, I think that just might be why that song defied the "many weeks at peak" rule of thumb. Ordinarily, it would have peaked at #12, but since they knew that, with the star/superstar rule, it would have at least two more weeks at #12, they moved it up to #11 on the first of those weeks and #10 the second, as they dropped "Take It Away" by Paul McCartney (which, any other time, would have stayed at #10) down to #11. Then, those songs took huge plunges to their rightful places on the Hot 100 (#59 for Summer and #66 for McCartney, IIRC). So I'm thinking that they possibly bent the rules a little so the Donna Summer song would hit the Top Ten.

The first time 4/11/81 was ever played was back in 2011 (also the first time in the series that an April 1981 show was ever aired), when it was just five weeks after 3/7/81.
