If Premiere didn't do the Randy Meiser tribute OPTIONAL EXTRA for the 1980 show last week, then the 1981 show this week could have replaced the "Tempted" OPTIONAL EXTRA with Randy Meiser's "Hearts on Fire".

KOKZ is going with 1981.

I see that "Tempted" by Squeeze is one of the OE's from this week's A show presentation 8/22/81-It's an outstanding song that deserved to be a much bigger hit.

KGOR aired 5 three-hour B shows last year but has not aired a B show this year. I would be surprised if KGOR airs the last 3 hours of 1984 this weekend. KGOR has promoted the B show several times this year only to air the A show. Last week: Promoted 1986 aired 1980. April: at40fg.proboards.com/thread/219/at40-80s-weeks-show?page=2597January: Despite promoting 1987 on website, KGOR went with 1981. (page 2572)

Tempted is played by many stations as if the song was at least a Top 20 hit--not a song the peaked at #49 (or #50 in Cash Box). Ask most US listeners who aren't chart/AT40 buffs what Squeeze's biggest American hit is and they'll probably say "Tempted", not "Hourglass" which chartwise would be the correct answer. In fact, they charted higher with "853-5937". which many probably couldn't name if they were asked to name two 1980s top 40 hits with phone numbers in the title. (They'd probably mostly come up with Tommy Tutone's "867-5309/Jenny" and either guess wrong or draw a blank on the other.)

The opening of ONJ's "Magic" sounds like the opening of #DN's "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)"? Uhm... really? That seems like quite the streeeeeeetch story to try to introduce the #1 song on the 1980 show, other than trying to make some backhanded acknowledgement that AT40 had just turned 10 years old. Was this just their way of making up for not mentioning that anniversary in the previous 6 weeks? Remember the Shadoe Stevens AT40 One Week Wonder in July 1991 with "Evaluate My Mind" by Stereo M.C.'s which had its only AT40 week at #39? I thought the background music sounded like if came from Three Dog Night's "Mama Told Me Not To Come"?

Stereo MC's had a bigger hit in 1993 with "Connected", which hit #11 on AT40 and #5 on CT40/WT40.

Had to look that one up in Whitburn. It was by The Time.
