For some reason, WSMG has ran the October 15, 1983 episode for the last 3 Thursday nights. Have you called or emailed WSMG to find out the problem? No. G'head and take the lead on that.

Although Pink Floyd only hit the top 10 once, the unmistakable guitar sound of David Gilmour could be heard on another 80s top 10 hit, Paul McCartney's "No More Lonely Nights," #10 in this weeks 12/1/84 countdown.

That was prophetic for the question about dance chart #1 hits being answered before playing "Like a Virgin". Because Madonna would end up overtaking Donna Summer for most #1 hits.

Regarding the question letters on the 12-1-1984 AT40: The 80's episode: 1) For QL #1: Other music personalities who later became game show hosts who had top 40 hits: Chuck Woolery (as a member of Avant-Guarde with "Natuallly Stoned" in 1969 - not mentioned by Casey but mentioned by Shadoe, though Chuck Woolery was the original host of Wheel of Fortune, and later hosted Love Connection, Scrabble, and GSN Lingo), Vicki Lawrence (She had the #1 song "The Nights The Lights Went Out In Georgia" in 1973 and later would host in 1987-1989 the daytime Win Lose or Draw, and Vicki also hosted an unsold game show pilot in 1990 called Body Talk that was aired on the BUZZR channel in a LOST AND FOUND marathon in 2015), and much later - Donny Osmond (Popular on AT40 for solo hits and as a member of the Osmonds in the 1970's and for a 3 song solo comeback in 1989-1990, Donny even guest hosted for Shadoe Stevens in Feb. 1990!) Donny would host from 2002-2004 a revival of the game show Pyramid. Thought I would bump this thing I posted back in 2016 when 12/1/1984 last aired on AT40: The 80's, I can add one more possible pre game show host who hit the top 40 - Actor/comic Jamie Foxx. He may have hit Ryan Seacrest's AT40 (in Ryan's second year of hosting AT40) in 2005 with some song called "Unpredictible", years later Jamie Foxx would host the FOX game show "Beat Shazam". Jamie Foxx was to have been the host of the new FOX game show "We Are Family" due to premiere January 2024 but due to Jamie's health issues, "We Are Family" will now be hosted by former "Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson!

Jamie Foxx has hit AT40 more than once. Biggest was "Blame It", which reached #3 in 2009.

Fun fact about 12/1/84: that was the week that U2 first appeared on AT40. What’s fun about it is that there’s an AT40 outtake (not necessarily from recording this particular show) similar to the following year’s “Dead Dog Dedication”, in which Casey was explaining the group (“the letter U and the numeral 2”) and it deteriorated in to a rant of “This is bulls**t! No one cares! These guys are from England and who gives a s**t!”—thus getting the Irish band’s nationality wrong. (And Casey eventually would more than give an s**t about them, praising their activism and humanitarian efforts.)

Well, technically Bassist Adam Clayton WAS born in England (and moved to Ireland when he was 5) but Bono, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr are obviously Irish and yes I know a lot about U2 lol. br] Hall and Oates have the number 2 song on this week’s (1984) Countdown. Sad to see them fighting and Daryl Hall suing his long time musical partner John Oates (even if Hall is in the right).

I'll predict 12/20/86 for the week of December 16. I had this as a prediction for the following weekend (23rd/24th), but with the news that we'll be getting 1980 on the 16th/17th I've changed it to 12/24/1983.

This week's optional extras:
December 11, 1982:
Hour #1: "Twilight Zone" - Golden Earring (#63) Hour #2: "I Know There's Something Going On" - Frida (#62) Hour #3: "Back On The Chain Gang" - The Pretenders (#88; debuted) Hour #4: "Shame On The Moon" - Bob Seger (NR; debuted at #40 the following week)
In a distinctly 1982 touch, the four songs that drop out all did so from their peak positions, three within the top 20: "Nobody" (#15), "Southern Cross" (#18), "Pressure" (#20), and "I'm So Excited" (#30, though it would return and hit the top 10 two years later.)

Speaking of their name did Casey ever do a stretch story about the spy plane and Francis Gary Powers while U2 was on the charts?
