You mean "Casey's Ghost to Ghost". SAME DIFFERENCE. I have absolutely no idea what this refers to. Anyone care to elaborate?

Especially in light of the fact that the last 1984 show we got was a standalone that was also played by itself just last year. Incidentally, the one previous time Premiere played 7/21/84 by itself, in 2010, it came just two weeks after another July 1984 show. I think one of those may have been a substitute for another show that was scheduled but pulled because it wasn't properly remastered or otherwise ready for current airplay. That year they played 6/16/84, 7/7/84, 7/21/84, 9/1/84, 10/13/84, and 12/22/84 all in the last seven months of the year. But they only played four weekly 1985 countdowns all year, with a sizable gap from 3/9/85 to 8/24/85 (though it should be noted that the year-end special that year was 1985--but funny, the 1985 Top 100 also contains a number of late 1984 songs). I always wondered if a 1985 show (possibly 7/20/85) was originally scheduled for the third week in July, but got swapped out at the last minute for remastering issues, etc. As such, you had two 1984 shows aired two weekends apart...I can think of maybe one other instance in both series where that happened (ironically also in 2010 with 9/25/71 and 10/9/71). 7/21/84 - but any holding back is hopefully not due to current licensing reasons regarding "The Hits From Ghost To Ghost" jingle ... Hard to imagine that would be an issue since they have already played the show twice--in 2010 and in 2015 as a 'B' show. Guessing this is similar to 6/23/84, which waited from 2009 until 2021 to finally get another spin.

I'm thinking that the show involved in being swapped out would have been the first July, 1984 show played that year (July 7), since that was just a few weeks after the preceding 1984 show (June 16). In that case, it would likely have been the July 13, 1985 show (which ended up being played in 2011) that was replaced. That still left a gap of four months between 1985 shows (of course, that could have been because the 1985 year-ender was scheduled, but still).

Someone posted about it and must have misremembered the actual jingle because they put the wrong one and a certain nitpicker had to jump in.

Why anyone would think this would have anything to do with whether a show is played or not is beyond me.

Here´s a quick overview of the August shows (last broadcast in each case): 2014: 8/22/81 2015 (A): 8/2/80 2016 (A): 8/23/80 2017 (B): 8/29/81 2018: 8/17/85 2018 (A): 8/8/81 2018 (B): 8/7/82, 8/15/87 2019: 8/27/83, 8/3/85 2019 (A): 8/16/80, 8/21/82, 8/29/87 2019 (B): 8/25/84, 8/6/88 2020: 8/6/83, 8/2/86, 8/22/87 2020 (A): 8/30/80, 8/14/82 2020 (B): 8/11/84, 8/30/86 2021: 8/4/84, 8/16/86, 8/8/87 2021 (A): 8/15/81, 8/28/82 2021 (B): 8/20/83, 8/24/85 2022: 8/18/84, 8/31/85, 8/1/87 2022 (A): 8/9/80, 8/1/81 2022 (B): 8/9/86 8/13/83: guest hosted (Keri Tombazian) 8/10/85: guest-hosted (Charlie Van Dyke) 8/23/86: guest-hosted (Charlie Van Dyke) Thank you for putting this together. This almost means for a certainty that we are getting 8/6/88 on the first weekend of August. I would be surprised if 8/6/88 is not featured on the first weekend of August... 8/2/80 may also happen as a backup and 8/6/88 could be the B show to 1980. 8/2/86 and 8/6/83 could also be curveballs... perhaps even 8/3/85. Maybe they might hold off 8/6/88 until 2024 as a standalone show...

Not playing August 6, 1988 would mean the last 1988 standalone this year would be May 14. Which would be the earliest date yet for the last 1988 A show of the year (there was a B in June.) 2014 comes close, when May 21, 1988 was the last AT40 from that year to be played at all, as it was the last year before regular 1980s B's began.
Though it's worth noting that when this series began in April 2007, 1988 was overlooked for four months, its first airing of the year being....August 6.

How in the heck is "Business As Usual" a 'self-titled' album?

And with that kind of singing talent among the staff at ABC Watermark, no pro jingle singers were needed. No one asked “Who ya gonna call?”

7/21/84 - but any holding back is hopefully not due to current licensing reasons regarding "The Hits From Ghost To Ghost" jingle ... Hard to imagine that would be an issue since they have already played the show twice--in 2010 and in 2015 as a 'B' show. Guessing this is similar to 6/23/84, which waited from 2009 until 2021 to finally get another spin. It may be that my considerations apply more to pieces of music than to individual jingles. And it may also be that legal hurdles (regarding the broadcasting of various contents) become less rather than more in the course of the decades, but as is well known, this does not have to be the case. For example, when a member leaves a band, how does it look with the use of the previous music material by the remaining band members ? This can be legally well secured, but it does not have to be. Generally it´s so that all, which were involved in a creative process, are authors of a common product and have as such also a say over its use. The extent to which this can be proven is, of course, another matter. If neither side can plausibly show that their version has more credibility, it can go either way. It´s usually difficult to prove that one is the author of a work (music, lyrics, etc.), or possibly to clarify where at least parts of an intellectual property have been used. If one doesn´t find an agreement on the use, it becomes difficult. What can generally be offered is that all parties involved can use the product. Or just nobody. And finally, one more thing. Is it not the case that the iheart channel can only be received in America and Canada ? And "purely symbolically asked": Why is this so ?
