Well, a rare time that a show is more than a week off of the current weekend date-wise but if next week is 2/14/81, it would certainly make sense for the week of February 13-14 to be 2/14/87. And it's unlikely 2/14/81 would be a 'B' show offering since Mike Kasem would've been the last to emcee it. If anything, it would make more sense if 1981 were the "B" rather than the "A" (though it appears that it's been some time since we last had a "B" that was more than a week off, outside of December/January or mid-September - not since June 2018). And not having aired since pre-mid-2009 didn't stop them from doing that with 4/19/86 - hell, that one still hasn't been given an "A"/standalone airing since. Keep in mind - 4/19/1986 aired as a "B" show seven years after 2009, rather than twelve years, as it is now (although seven years is still a rather long time for that).

IIRC, that airing of 4/19/86 as a 'B' show (which I still scratch my head over) was the only time that a show not previously aired in the Larry Morgan era was played as a 'B'. So it has happened...but in the now 6+ years that Premiere has aired 'B' shows in the 80s series, it's only happened once whereas there are a few instances since 2010 (when Premiere started consistently scheduling shows in which the date wasn't usually more than four or so days off of the current date). Not that it couldn't happen again, but the odds would seem to be in favor of 2/14/81 being an 'A' show.

Other than Vangelis, a good set for both shows.

The only show 2/14/81 could be a B to (unless Premiere changed its 80s A/B policies yet again) would be 2/6/88, which was played four years ago; a rerun of that is possible but understandably they probably decided that a show that hasn't been aired in 12 years would be a better replay candidate. And I don't think KOLA would have picked 2/14/81 if it were the B; lately it's always gone with the A's and when it didn't it was 1980-81 shows that were passed over for the B's.
So the best guess I can think of for the off-date scheduling is that February 13-14 has something closer to that date in 1980-something on tap, and so probably does February 20-21. Those would be good weeks for 1987 and 1988, respectively, since we haven't had A's from those years yet in 2021 but we either have or soon will hear every early 80s year.

The Super Bowl Shuffle '85 Bears, what a one hit wonder, 35 years ago, doesn't feel that long, but it does for me as they haven't won since, losing to the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI!

Could there be 2 weeks in a row for 2/14 dated shows? 2/14/1981 the Feb. 6-7, 2021 weekend and then 2/14/1987 the Feb. 13-14, 2021 weekend? It happened twice in December 2015 and December 2019 for AT40: The 70's (12/15/1979 then 12/15/1973 in December 2015 - 2 12/15 date shows back to back, and 12/16/1978 and 12/16/1972 for December 2019 - 2 12/16 shows back to back).

I speculated on this before, and yes it would make sense for 2/14/81 and 2/14/87 to be played back to back, since neither has been touched since 2009-10. That or another show with a similar mid-February date is about the only good reason I can think of for Premiere to play a show dated February 14 on February 6-7 instead of a week later.

Just fixed the 1972 date to make it like the 1978 date - both 12/16!

Another pair of February '81 and '87 shows -- 2/7/87 and 2/7/81 -- were played back to back the first two weeks of February 2018. No reason it couldn't happen again...

Here’s a preview for this weekend’s January 30, 1982 program…
--Journey kicked off the countdown at #40 and returned for an encore at #21
--this week’s three-decade artists (with hits in the 60s, 70s and 80s) included Stevie Wonder, Neil Diamond, the Beach Boys, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and the Rolling Stones
--as “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” by Diana Ross fell out of the Top 40, she debuted at #29 this week with “Mirror, Mirror”
--enjoying their greatest influence on the American charts, Australia was well-represented on the survey with Rick Springfield, Air Supply, Little River Band and, with a British nod, Olivia Newton-John
--a chart first as Daryl Hall & John Oates moved into the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Soul Singles survey with “I Can’t Go For That”
--and poor Foreigner, 10 consecutive weeks at #2
--similar to a Christmas countdown where Casey once observed music originating “from the ridiculous to the sublime,” this week he visits a video game arcade with a novelty featuring Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde … and later attends the symphony to present Tchaikovsky, Mozart and Gershwin in “Hooked On Classics”
--in retrospect, this week’s Top 40 one-hit-wonders include Buckner & Garcia, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Eddie Schwartz and Bertie Higgins
--and for the first time, in the show’s closing, Casey acknowledged Watermark Inc. as "a unit of ABC Radio Enterprises"; details of ABC’s acquisition of Watermark were described in an article in Billboard’s January 30, 1982 issue
“Now, on with the countdown...”
