Some few notes Jun 29, 1985: 13 was #1 spent, In 1950 Good Night Irene Bruce Springsteen story 5 movies Snippet of Hall and Oates "Everytime You Go Away" Soft jingles: you give good love, things can only get better Kimberly in Katrina and the waves story, she majored archeology In My House even played extended version Former #1 dance/disco: In My House, Fresh, Axel F Highest 100 debut: power of love First debut summer of 69 13 Canadian acts in Rock era hit #1 including Bryan Adams Notably, both of this week’s A shows had those Canadian artists at #1; in addition to Bryan, Gordon Lightfoot was on top of this week’s 1974 show with “Sundown”, which was one of only three songs for which the AT40 staff “guessed” the correct position on the official chart.

In the 1985 show Casey mentions before playing “Never Surrender” by Corey Hart (who’s originally from Montreal Quebec Canada) that the legal drinking age in Quebec was 18, and as of 2024 it still is.

KOLA has next week's show as 7/16/1988. 7/23/1988 gets the shaft once again, not played as an A show since 2012, while 7/16/1988 was one 4 years ago in 2020.

Would have had 7/10/1982 for the second weekend of July 2024. Maybe for the last weekend of July 2024 we might get 7/31/1982 played?

I'm under the assumption that 7/16/88 will be the last time we hear that year until early 2025.

I'm under the assumption that 7/16/88 will be the last time we hear that year until early 2025. Likely, unless 8/6/88 is a B to a 1980-82 A. Which makes only three 1988 standalones this year.

In the 1985 show Casey mentions before playing “Never Surrender” by Corey Hart (who’s originally from Montreal Quebec Canada) that the legal drinking age in Quebec was 18, and as of 2024 it still is. With a Canadian ID. It's 21 with an American ID to prevent underage Americans living in Northeastern New York, Northern Vermont and New Hampshire and Northwestern Maine from crossing the border to drink legally.

Hmmm. Is that a Quebec-only thing? Back in 1990 my buds and I frequently went over to Kingston, ON, CA and hit the clubs without incident and we were only 20... not to mention hitting the AMEX at the border and stocking up.

Interesting fact about This Week's AT40: The 80's and 70's show from 7/9/1983 & 7/9/1977, Electric Light Orchestra or ELO had a debut at #39 in both shows exactly 6 years apart to the day, "Rock 'n' Roll Is King" and "Telephone Line" respectively.

For odd reason, the second segment played from last week 1985 instead of 1983, for WNSN
24 foreign acts; 18 British
Hall and Oates top 80s so far (1983)
#1 dance acts: Men Without Hats, Human League, Romantics, etc

WNSN skipped the hour 4 last segment due to time constraints.
Kokz I finally listened last segment.
