I will predict 6/27/81 for the week of June 24 because, well, it's time for a 1981 'A'.

Premiere optional extras: Hour #1: "Words Get In The Way" - Miami Sound Machine Hour #2: "Baby Love" - Regina Hour #3: "Higher Love" - Steve Winwood Hour #4: "Suzanne" - Journey
"Suzanne" replaces "Take My Breath Away", which was used last time.

I think for the last weekend of June 2023 (June 24-25, 2023) it could be 6/25/1983.

I can't see AC being THAT big of a deal-breaker as to warrant being axed from an album countdown in 1982, at least not solely due to AC being AC. But if they would've taken up like half the countdown or so...then perhaps? As an aside, for the countdown week that got us talking about all this, the countdown's #1 song was also the week's #1 AC song - but this week would be it for that chart, as "Any Day Now" would take over there next week. As far as I could tell, albums by The Kingston Trio, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, The Platters, Johnny Mathis, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, and multiple Herb Alpert/Tijuana Brass LPs were potential candidates for a 'best of Rock Era' album countdown. It's my belief that most of those AC artists may not have been met favorably with a Top 40 countdown audience in 1982. I'd be of the mind that most of these being older/no longer "current" acts would be the bigger liability than the genre, though certainly when one is dealing with older acts, the list of acceptable genres will narrow. Unless that's what you were really hitting at, in which case - noted. In any event, of these: Nat King Cole returns for one final posthumous hit in 1991. This would actually be the very last week that Johnny Mathis ever appeared in The 40 (#38). (Again, how appropriate is it that this week in 1982 is what prompted all this? ) And Herb Alpert gets two more hits in 1987.

It's my belief that most of those AC artists may not have been met favorably with a Top 40 countdown audience in 1982. Agree. Herb and the TJB were an LP chart juggernaut in the mid-'60s, with 8 of the 9 albums they released between the beginning of 1965 and mid-1968 reaching the top 10. The only one that didn't was an album of older, previously-unreleased recordings from 1963 that reached #17 in early 1966. And of those 9 top 10 albums, 5 reached #1, with a total of 32 weeks topping the chart. All of the Brass' eight top 10 LPs stayed on the chart (a 150-position chart until April 1967, when it expanded to 175 and then to 200 in May) for a minimum of 49 weeks, with four remaining for over 100 weeks, the longevity-holder being 1965's "Whipped Cream and Other Delights", iconic cover and all, lasting an amazing 185 weeks--about 3 and a half years--on the LP chart. Lastly, the group scored 11 straight Gold-certified albums between 1963 and 1969. Alpert and his band were huge album sellers in the '60s. And it was the "Other Delights" that made Herb Alpert's album cover iconic.

Alas, I was too young to fully appreciate the "Whipped Cream" cover....

Thanks for the answer(s) as to why the AT40 Top Albums Of All Time special never came to be.
With the large number of soundtracks (both movie and Broadway) and non-CHR individual titles potentially on a “top 40” list if it actually came to be, I’m wondering if a “Top 40 Album Artists Of All Time” special would have worked?
You’d still get some non-CHR artists, although here, I’d say Herb Alpert we’re ranked, they’d have simply played either “This Guy’s In Love With You” (or more likely, the still recent “Rise”). The country artists would of course appear (most likely Kenny Rogers and Willie Nelson, maybe Ronnie Milsap), all who had current or recent pop hits, and maybe Charley Pride as well. And even with soundtracks out of play, I’d think you’d be able to include the Bee Gees. You’d be able to perhaps get away with a mention of the Broadway-only soundtracks (a history, and maybe a few sound bites a la an extended feature), and, as Bob Newhart was a big comedy album seller in the early 1960s (maybe in another feature on comedy artists) plug his then soon-to-debut new TV show “Newhart” and that “The Bob Newhart Show” was still doing well in syndication.
The bulk would, of course, still be acts like the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, the Beatles (together and solo), The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson (even pre-Thriller, although if it were known he was working on said album, a tease), Diana Ross (Supreme and solo), the Temptations, the Commodores, the Carpenters, Carole King, Neil Diamond, Elvis Presley … and many others.
I could see some potential possibly being there for a Top 40 Album Artists Of All Time if done that way, especially if accurate album sales for a particular act were available.
Anyone agree?
Brian

Even before that, Herb made the top 40 with "Route 101" in July/August 1982--just a few weeks after the album special would likely have aired.

It's possible that this could be the B to a 1981 A, but recently they've almost always played the A. Or 6/25/1983 could be a standalone, like last month we thought 5/19/1984 could be a B show but it because a standalone for the second year in a row with no reason why.

Brian In only Ken Martin can do a "Top 40 Album Artists Of All Time" special countdown using Casey bits and pieces. Someone even suggested a "Top 40 Instrumentals of the 1970's" countdown that was never considered nor done by AT40.

Playing 5/19/84 by itself in consecutive years went against usual Premiere practice, but there's no such issue with 6/25/83 which was last aired eight years ago.
