Another 3 weeks in a row of early 80s A shows. Maybe we could get for October 2024 these standalones for AT40: The 80's: October 5-6, 2024: October 9, 1983 October 12-13, 2024: October 12, 1985 October 19-20, 2024: October 17, 1987 Then maybe for the last weekend of October the October 24, 1981 or October 31, 1981 AT40 A show with a B show, then in November and December up until Christmas it will be the usual A standalone 1980-1987 shows paired with AT40 Christmas B shows, and the for the end of 2024/start of 2025 my guess for the AT40: The 80's year ender could be the top 100 of 1982 as the A entry with the top 100 of 1985 as the B entry.

KOSF airing the 9/20/1987 show. Currently at #36 “It’s Not Over (Till It’s Over)” by Starship No better station to have playing when you're looking out over the Golden Gate Bridge and seeing that bumper-to-bumper traffic.

The story on the 9/19/1987 show about having to find one blue eye and one gray eye for David Bowie's wax statue was first heard on the 9/10/1983 show (listening to the latter on the Classic AT40 channel right now).

I was thinking 1987 would be a leading candidate for the year end show: so far this year we've only had three standalones from that year, in January, April, and June, with no more until at least October (10/10/87 is the next one that wasn't aired by itself in the last two years.) And 1987 has been the main year end show only once, at the end of 2012, much longer ago than any other year.

^There are still 3 months left in the year, plenty of time to play 2 more standalone 1987 shows. And since the year-end 1987 show aired in 2022, I'm hoping they'll go with something else.
One of the patterns I've noticed is that shows from 1971-1987 almost always get aired as an "A" show at least 5 times per year.

Another 3 weeks in a row of early 80s A shows. Since 1980 to 1982 can only be “A” shows, this has probably become more likely.

I'm seeing on Facebook that the B show for the 'A' 1982 show this week is 9/24/1983.
EXTRAS from 2015 and 2020 were: Hr 1: Love Is A Stranger - Eurythmics Hr 2: Uptown Girl - Billy Joel Hr 3: Love Is A Battlefield - Pat Benatar Hr 4: Major Tom (Coming Home) - Peter Schilling

10/10/81 to be exact, which Premiere hasn't played since 2016, when "Burnin' for You" by Blue Öyster Cult is at #40 for a 2nd consecutive week! And there's also the possibility that we could have both September 1981 and October 1981 shows be featured - in fact 10/24/81 hasn't been played since 2015 should they go that route. Then again who knows what's gonna happen on what show or shows will be selected for the last weekend of September. Thanks, I somehow missed that 10/24/81 hasn't been played since 2015.

This week's optional extras:
A: September 25, 1982:
Hour #1: "Mickey" - Toni Basil (#56) Hour #2: "Southern Cross" - Crosby, Stills & Nash (#62) Hour #3: "The Look Of Love (Part 1)" - ABC (#60) Hour #4: "Nobody" - Sylvia (#51)
B: September 24, 1983: (As jdelach asked at Pulse Music Board, really, Premiere, 1982 and 1983 in the same week?)
Hour #1: "Love Is A Stranger" - The Eurythmics (#63) Hour #2: "Uptown Girl" - Billy Joel (#70; highest debut) Hour #3: "Love Is A Battlefield" - Pat Benatar (#78; debuted) Hour #4: "Major Tom (Coming Home)" - Peter Schilling (#89; debuted)
It's possible the late Sergio Mendes could be honoured with "Never Gonna Let You Go".

For the 70s, we've also recently had some incidences of the back to back years of 1975 and 1976 as A and B, which I also think is a dubious pairing. (Are the two years really that different?)
We haven't had 1979 as an A combined with a (Jan-Sept.) 1978 B, which I could understand due to the four vs. three hour issue.

Wait, you mean 1975 and 1976 aren't both standalone years? 1975 isn’t. The only 70s years currently played as standalones (outside of when the Christmas shows are B’s) are 1976, 1977, and three hour 1978. For the 80s, everything from 1983-88 is a standalone, unless it’s the B to an earlier 80s A.
