WWIS is running really early today--they're at #12 already at the bottom of hour 3--and their stream has so far been working flawlessly, unlike two weeks ago. (update) St. Elmo playing now. WWIS should wrap up 10 min early today. WWIS seems to be experiencing technical difficulties. I left the station on after the show was over and they kept running this ad about sponsoring graduates by calling the station. The thing is, said graduates were from the year of 2020 - three years too late. After the ad, which was about fifteen seconds in length, ran about ten times, there was dead air. Been that way about 10 minutes.

Was Milli Vanilli one of them? Milli Vanilli doesn't count, that faux duo who lip synched had 5 AT40 chart hits 1989-1990!

Wow that LDD from the guy in Texas who had been contemplating suicide really hit home with me. It was like I wrote the letter. As someone who has had those dark thoughts and still struggle with anxiety and depression, this letter really hit home with me. Especially since only a few songs back was “You’re Only Human (Second Wind)” by Billy Joel who has also battled depression and donated all royalties from the song to the National Committee for Youth Suicide. You’d never know “Only Human” was about Billy contemplating suicide. I never really listened to the lyrics but when I really listened to the lyrics and figured out what it was about I really related. I’m sure many people did. It’s amazing what music can do. It sounds cheesy but you can listen to a song and really have an emotional connection to it.

That would be the "Alone Again (Naturally)" dedication. Interesting that it was placed only one song removed from "You're Only Human". In between the two was Phil Collins' "Don't Lose My Number", an uptempo song arguably not a good choice for a lead-in to a dark or downbeat LDD (especially in light of what happened the following week.) The week's other LDD was one of the relatively few featuring a song that never made the pop top 40, though one that was well known then and is even more so now, that being Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" (Whitney Houston's rendition was of course seven years in the future.)

Some few 1985 notes: I listened kzoy yesterday just top 9.., and later today somewhat 19 partly foreign acts Soft jingles: everytime you go away, what about love?
Two ldd are very sad Godley and creme for best video Opt xtras use 1984 jingles since aired in 2011 Snippet original version I got you babe
Dancing in the street video for it and mention of remake Wnsn: church running and heating little diff Top 3 are movie songs
Interesting Paul mccartney honored Michael jackson story John Parr wheelchair story for man in Motion song Aretha Franklin best Grammy for queen of soul Motley crue funded drug free, since teen got in accident and were killed due to drunk driving

In case you haven't heard it yet, WTOJ played Jimmy Buffett's "Fins" as the first optional extra for the 9/7/85 show yesterday. Thanks Ken!

My guess for the September 16-17, 2023 weekend for AT40: The 80's (which may not be revealed until after the day after Labor Day this week): September 17, 1983 (last played in 2018).

That extra was a WTOJ exclusive. Premiere's affiliates will have a Jimmy Buffett extra in the future. He just passed on Friday.

There was also a minor error leading out of the story, as Casey referred to "Invincible" as Pat's "current top 10 hit", but it wasn't that yet; Pat was at #11 here and peaked at #10 the following week.
