One of the three debut songs on this week's "A" show presentation from 7/18/81 is "Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through" by Jim Steinman-The actual vocalist on that particular song is Rory Dodd-Two years later,in 1983,you heard his voice on Bonnie Tyler's megahit "Total Eclipse Of The Heart"-He sang "Turn around bright eyes".

With that as an A, it probably makes 8/6/88 a lock for the first weekend in August, especially as lately Premiere's been featuring it in fifth-anniversary years of it (2008, 13, 18). If they were going to do 7/23/88 then it and not 1982 would probably be the A for July 22-23, and I don't see them going back a day in chart date the following week. And 7/30 was of course guest hosted, albeit by particularly well known hosts (Daryl Hall & John Oates). If they don't, then the last 1988 standalone of the year would be May 14, and they've never cut 1988 off that early.

Meatloaf also had a hit with "Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through"-It did slightly better than Jim Steinman's version-Meat's version peaked at # 13 in 1994.

Casey mentioned Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" was Meat Loaf's first and only album (produced by Jim "Rock and Roll Dreams Come True"), but Meat Loaf had other albums in past and later years! Even a "Bat Out of Hell" sequel!

Stations probably can, if they wish, keep shows in their library that Premiere has aired and replay them whenever, though they may have to ask Premiere for permission. I presume that's what was done by the station that played the May 2002 countdown that was a bonus offering over Memorial Day. But there are only four years worth of Casey Kasem AT40s from the 2000s, which I don't think is enough for them to be a viable weekly show in the same way that his 1970s and 80s shows are, unless maybe if they're somehow combined with the 1998-99 ones (a better idea for the 1990s shows might be to combine them with the CT40s to fill out that whole decade, but I think if that were possible they'd already be doing or at least testing it.) Regarding still later AT40s, I could see the Ryan Seacrest shows being rebroadcast eventually, as we're coming up on 20 years of those. I can see it now: "American Top 40: The Best of Ryan Seacrest - The 2000's and 2010's". Too bad Premiere is not planning "American Top 40: The Shadoe Stevens Years 1988-1995".

Playing the Shadoe Stevens years depends way more on if enough radio stations are interested in airing those shows. If's there's very little interest from radio these shows won't be played.

In 1988, seven years later, Collins’ cover version hit No. 1. I’ve always wondered how a No. 1s special covering the last 31 No. 1 songs of the 1980s, from October 1988 to December 1989 and bookended by Phil Collins, would sound. I wonder if whomever — Ken Martin or someone else — would take the Carole Bayer Sager story and then use other edits to create him introducing “A Groovy Kind Of Love” by Phil Collins, from October 1988 and the 193rd(?) No. 1 hit of the 1980s. Brian
