Surprised that KOLA is currently airing 5/25/85 instead of 6/7/80. WQSR is doing the same thing right now.

Surprised I'd never noticed the similarity before, but (Jim) Photoglo's "We Were Meant To Be Lovers" is a melodically a LOT like Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock". Especially to the 1971 Matthew's Southern Comfort remake. So much so that I was singing the "Woodstock" lyrics to the verses.

So this is probably next week's 'B' option? And to think I was going to predict 6/21/86 to be a standalone on June 17.
Eh, I'll go with 6/18/83 then. And this will set up the only once aired 7/5/86 to be a standalone the first week of July.

Tom Jones would get his 19th and final Top 40 hit with Art of Noise in 1988. The Hollies would get their 12th and final Top 40 hit in 1983.

"Fun" fact: counting "B" shows, this will be the sixth time that a show that last aired in 2019 is being repeated this year:
02/09/1985 - Standalones in 2019 and 2023 | Total Airings: 3 02/21/1987 - "B" show in 2019, standalone in 2023 | Total Airings: 3 03/16/1985 - "B" show in 2019 and 2023 | Total Airings: 4 04/17/1982 - "A" show in 2019 and 2023 | Total Airings: 3 05/09/1987 - "B" show in 2019, standalone in 2023 | Total Airings: 4 06/21/1986 - Standalones in 2019 and 2023 | Total Airings: 4 (as of next weekend)
Why they would choose to air a show that last aired four years ago for the fourth time since this series started (6/21/1986) over one that last aired seven years ago only one time (7/5/1986) is beyond me. Would it have really hurt to wait two more weeks to play 1986?
(I will eat my words if 7/5/1986 ends up airing as a "B" show the second week of July, with maybe 7/10/1982 as the "A".)

This week's optional extras:
A:June 12, 1982:
Hour #1: "I Know What Boys Like" - The Waitresses (which fell from #62 to #96 this week) Hour #2: "Abracadabra" - The Steve Miller Band (#50) Hour #3: "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" - Chicago (#65) Hour #4: "Hold Me" - Fleetwood Mac (NR)
"Hold Me", which entered the Hot 100 the following week at #33, replaces Genesis' "Paperlate".
B: June 11, 1988:
Hour #1: "As Long As You Follow" - Fleetwood Mac Hour #2: "Don't Know What You Got (Til It's Gone)" - Cinderella Hour #3: "One Moment In Time" - Whitney Houston Hour #4: "Armageddon It" - Def Leppard
All these are from late 1988 or early 1989. Notably, "As Long As You Follow" never made AT40 or CT40, but did hit #1 AC.

So a decent song replaces another decent song, while a certain fingernails-on-a-chalkboard 'flop' single continues to torment listeners...

(Just like the last airing, the "A" show was from 1982, but it was the 6/5 show.)

Well, I did like that "Clones" by Alice Cooper OPTIONAL EXTRA last weekend played on the 6/7/1980 AT40: The 80's show.
