I would not be surprised if "Brilliant Disguise" Bruce Springsteen, which is one week away from the countdown, is an optional extra next week.

For the past 5 years, Premiere has been replacing optional extras with songs that debut on the Hot 100 in the Top 40 the following week on a regular basis. Example: This week's optional extras: A: June 12, 1982:Hour #1: "I Know What Boys Like" - The Waitresses (which fell from #62 to #96 this week) Hour #2: "Abracadabra" - The Steve Miller Band (#50) Hour #3: "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" - Chicago (#65) Hour #4: "Hold Me" - Fleetwood Mac (NR) "Hold Me", which entered the Hot 100 the following week at #33, replaces Genesis' "Paperlate".

Thanks. Figured it wasn't connected to Bruce's current peptic ulcer issue, which caused tour date cancellations. But, you never know.

Optional extras when the show last aired in 2018: "All Night Long (All Night)" Lionel Richie "Old Time Rock & Roll" Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band "Modern Love" David Bowie "Cum On Feel The Noize" Quiet Riot Extras are the same this time around.

Bruce Springsteen hasn't died yet, you know. Really?!?! 🤦♂️ But Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen is recovering from ulcer illness that may or may not be critical for his concert tour fate.

Maybe in honor of Bruce's ulcer they could sub in "No Matter What Shape Your Stomach's In" by the T-Bones. I can just hear Larry's intro now "It's time for a classic AT40 extra! We recently lost some Bruce Springsteen concert dates, so we are playing a song that was used in Alka-Seltzer ads in the 60's by the studio group, the T-Bones. While nothing can heal the hungry hearts that people born in the USA must have at this time, we hope that with a little plop-plop-fizz-fizz Bruce can say 'what a relief it is!' and go back out on the thunder road to do some dancing in the dark and return to his glory days."

Unpopular opinion:Point Of No Return by Nu Shooz is a much better song than the higher charting and better known I Can’t Wait. Related to the same countdown, whether it's unpopular or not I'll say that Berlin's earlier "No More Words" and "The Metro" (not a top 40 hit) are much better songs than the boring chart topper "Take My Breath Away". Very much agree regarding Berlin -- "No More Words" and "The Metro" were both better songs, as was another well known non-top 40 hit "Masquerade". As for Nu Shooz, I am a big fan of both "Point Of No Return" and "I Can't Wait", but I wouldn't say the former is a better song at all than the latter. I've always been a big fan of "I Can't Wait"...just IMHO. (also as a footnote, I am a big fan of their 1988 top 40 near-miss "Should I Say Yes")

Interesting that Premiere is playing another 1987 countdown so soon.

The only Berlin 45 I own.

You own one more Berlin record than I do. The only thing Berlin related I have is an autograph sheet of paper I got from the band when they made an appearance at a local Record Factory store in SF back in the early 80's. I still have it, too.

Yeah! I’m so happy that “Holiday” by The Other Ones is an extra. It’s such a great albeit obscure weird song. But it’s so d**n catchy.
