So 8/23/80 should be played but it will probably be 8/16/80 since it last aired in 2019. 8/27/83 (also last aired in 2019) is a good possibility for the last week of August.

Yet another "last aired in 2019" show. What was wrong with airing 7/21? I have a feeling this "play shows that last aired in 2019 instead of shows that haven't aired in over 5 years" pattern is going to continue throughout the rest of the year, so hopefully next year's list has much better choices. (I plan on making a thread about this, so be on the lookout.) I'm sorry, but that's just dumb that they would pick 7/28/84 over 7/21/84. No good reason there...this will be the 3rd spin for that show since the last airing 7/21/84 (which was, ummm...13 years ago!).

Any word yet on this weeks B show to go with the 7/24/1982 A? We usually don't know that until Tuesday. My guess for it is 7/25/1987. That is correct. This month we get all the playable July 1987 shows (skipping the two hosted by Charlie Van Dyke.)

To be honest I think I would have done a year swap to have 7/21/84 be played this weekend, and 7/31/82 the following weekend with a B show - either 7/25 or 8/1 in 1987. If anything hopefully maybe we can send an e-mail message to Premiere with the hopes that they will air 7/21/84 in 2024. Otherwise I think something might be going on...

There’s something unique about the music from the Summer of ’82. Perhaps oversimplified, but in comparison to the 3-4 previous summers, pop music appeared to be dominated by disco and then country releases. Arguably, the AT40 show for July 24, 1982 offers an improved genre balance of Top 40 songs and artists.

My guess is that there isn't anything going on, just the folks doing the schedule not paying close attention to what's been played in recent years versus what's been on the shelf for a long time, what's gotten a lot of plays versus what hasn't, etc. As far as swapping shows, there's really no reason they couldn't have played 7/21/84 this weekend and saved 7/24/82 (along with the 7/25/87 'B' show) for the weekend of July 29th. That would've made a lot of sense.

Arguably, the AT40 show for July 24, 1982 offers an improved genre balance of Top 40 songs and artists. Don't know about the genre balance but 7/24 is the quintessential 1982 chart: -13 songs are peaking at a position other than #1 -in hour 1 there's a stretch of 5 straight songs that never got OUT of Hour 1 (or if they did they were the first song of Hour 2) -the first song of Hour 2, which is #31, makes it 6 songs that didn't get past #30 -the first song that made the Top 15 isn't until #29 -the first song that made the Top 10 isn't until #27 -the 5 songs that fell off AT40 are all in a row from #46-#50.

Especially in light of the fact that the last 1984 show we got was a standalone that was also played by itself just last year. Incidentally, the one previous time Premiere played 7/21/84 by itself, in 2010, it came just two weeks after another July 1984 show. I think one of those may have been a substitute for another show that was scheduled but pulled because it wasn't properly remastered or otherwise ready for current airplay.

7/21/84 - but any holding back is hopefully not due to current licensing reasons regarding "The Hits From Ghost To Ghost" jingle ...

Late at discussing the 7/18/81 show but 2 songs from that countdown you could also hear on the 2005 movie “The 40 Year Old Virgin”: “Life of Illusion” by Joe Walsh and “Believe It or Not (Theme from Greatest American Hero)” by Joey Scarbury.

7/21/84 - but any holding back is hopefully not due to current licensing reasons regarding "The Hits From Ghost To Ghost" jingle ... You mean "Casey's Ghost to Ghost".
