So - what other stations will be playing the 1986 show today? I figured that KZOY might, but they're doing 1980.

AT40: The 80's 11/1/1980 had a QUESTION LETTER to Casey about the BIGGEST SELLING SINGLES in the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. For the 1950's it was the famous Bill Haley and the Comets "Rock Around The Clock", in the 1960's it was Elvis Presley's "It's Now or Never", and the 1970's it was "Rock Your Baby" by George McCrae. Now what do you think the BIGGEST SELLING SINGLE for the 1980's (45's and cassette singles) and 1990's (cassette and CD singles) are? I guess by the 2000's cassette and CD singles became obsolete even with the age of downloading music songs for your iPod/iPhone/iPad/Apple Watch including iTunes and later Apple Music - unless we can count downloaded singles in the 2000's, 2010's, and 2020's. For the 80s, I would bet the biggest selling single would be "We Are The World".

The 90s would have to be Elton John's redo of "Candle In the Wind" for Princess Diana, as it became the all-time bestselling single in the UK. According to Wikipedia, it's sold 33 million worldwide.

The lowest peaking hit was "Point of No Return" at 28. Makes you wonder what regular show had the highest peaking lowest peak. Also from 1986... on the 2/15/86 countdown, the highest peaking lowest peak song was Freedie Jackson's "He'll Never Love You" which was at #27 that week and would peak at #25. Thirty-six of the Top 40 songs that week would make the Top 20. There may be other countdowns with a higher lowest peak but I stumbled upon that one today.

I will predict 11/14/81 for the weekend of November 11 since we're due for a 1981 'A'. And I would guess no 'B' since the Christmas shows would start airing around this time.

Pete B seemed to indicate that this weekend's B show will be Christmas At the Movies, an AT10 first aired in 2005. If so then they're changing up the holiday specials a bit as up until now they've usually played the 70s Christmas AT40s first, as well as possibly starting them a week early (maybe the year end show will be the last two weekends of December?)
This would presumably be for both the 70s and 80s series, the latter of which of course has a 1983 countdown that otherwise wouldn't have a B. But next week 1981 will be the only regular 80s show.

Last year for the November 5-6 weekend, WTOJ played this special as it's AT40 offering in WTOJ's first weekend going into all-Christmas programming.

I hope that is the case. The only specials I really care about are the 70's Christmas AT40's since the later shows have, well, too much 90's and 21st Centry music but I don't intentionally listen to Christmas music until Black Friday so I always end up missing them unless they cycle back to them Christmas week.

As many likely know, once Halloween is behind us, many radio stations change to an all-Christmas format. With that, Premiere suspends their A/B weekly show options in November and December, offering one program from each of the 70s and 80s, and one AT40/AT20/AT10 Christmas countdown every week. This year is no different, beginning the weekend of November 4-5. Like last year, unless there’s been a recent change, the “Christmas At The Movies” special is available for Premiere’s AT40 affiliates this weekend.

I would not be surprised if "Twist Of Fate" Olivia Newton-John, which is one week away from the countdown, is an optional extra next week. Sorry extras are the same
