There should be a regular 80's show next weekend for those stations that want a regular show over a holiday show. We just won't know now until early next week instead of today. My guess for the year end countdown: The Top 100 of 1983.

With Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday this year, Premiere's regular weekly countdown for December 23-24 may not be played on quite a few AT40 outlets.

My guess for the year end countdown: The Top 100 of 1983. The only possibilities appear to be 1983 or 1982 (1987 was the 'B' to the 1981 year end special in 2021 so it's too soon for that one.) I predict 1982 since it last aired longer ago. And I predict 1985 as the 'B'.

This weekend's show is from December 13, 1980. Optional extras:
"Miss Sun" Boz Scaggs "Sukiyaki" Kyu Sakamoto "Ah! Leah" Donnie Iris "A Little In Love" Cliff Richard
"Ah! Leah" replaces "You Shook Me All Night Long" AC/DC, which was the third hour extra when show aired in 2017.
Show was offered as a special by Premiere in 2020.

"Sukiyaki" is one of the "AT40 Archive" songs that was featured on this week's presentation from 12/13/80-It was the only top forty hit for Japanese singer Kyu Sakamoto-It was # 1 for three weeks in June 1963-In the spring of 1981,the female duo A Taste Of Honey took their remake into the top five-Here's a fun fact:Both the remake & the original version were on the same label which was Capitol Records.

And thee English lyrics of the remake are totally different than Sakamoto's original ones. Sakamoto died in the August 1985 crash of JAL Flt. 123 into terrain in Japan. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Lines_Flight_123

I think I remember reading he initially survived but died while waiting to be rescued.

Could be. 4 people amazingly did survive, and bad weather did delay rescue helicopters from reaching the crash site until the following morning.

For those of you who always clamor to hear the shows as they were originally broadcast (as in no songs moved around or commercial breaks inserted or deleted; not as in non-remastered) I'm curious what you think about 12/13/80. There is a guy on Facebook (apologies if this is one of you) who has been saying all week that he would like to hear the show the way it was originally recorded, and played on at least one radio station, with the QL about posthumous #1 hits and the bouncy, upbeat intro to "Just Like Starting Over". Do you agree with him? Personally I would like to hear the re-recorded show but with the QL as an OE with Larry explaining what happened and one of the songs that formed the answer played.

Were there any affiliates that broadcast the 'original' version of that show back in 1980? I wonder what the circumstances were if that was the case... There's nothing really remarkable about the show *besides* the fact that they reconfigured that first hour with the QL and re-recording the #4 segment. I could see re-using the QL segment as an OE segment. Depending on how long that portion ran, Larry Morgan may need to significantly pad-out the segment with an explanation to take it to about 3 minutes. But, was that question asked in any other shows? Is it a significant enough of a point of trivia to go to the effort to 'salvage' the segment for an OE? Aside from being a bit more upbeat, there's nothing extraordinary about Casey's original intro to '(Just Like) Starting Over'. I really don't see a large audience for 'what if Casey sounded a bit bouncier before introducing a song from a guy who just died'... which is what it really boils down to.

I'd like to hear the original version, just for the rarity of it. When I heard the show in 1980 on my local station (KTKT) it was the altered version.

I remember listening to the altered version of 12/13/80 on WDRC in Hartford,CT.

An apparently forgotten fact regarding the December 13, 1980 program… In addition to running the show as originally produced OR using the program update (shipped to stations separately on a 5th program LP), Watermark also suggested a third option. And that was to air the John Lennon segment without an introduction or outcue, with only the American Top 40/Hits from Coast-to-Coast jingles. No Casey. If interested, it was left up to stations to ‘localize’ the John Lennon segment which was, by the way, conveniently produced containing only one song. I remember hearing it air without Casey on Chicago’s WBBM-FM. At the time, without Casey saying anything about John Lennon, it was rather eerie.

Weekend of Saturday, 12/24/2011 – 12/26/1987 Weekend of Saturday, 12/24/2016 – 12/27/1986 Weekend of Saturday, 12/23/2017 - 12/28/1985 Weekend of Saturday, 12/25/2021 - 12/27/1986 Weekend of Saturday, 12/24/2022 - 12/22/1984
So for the weekend of Saturday, December 23, 2023, I'm not worried about there being a show that weekend. Just might be harder to find a non-Christmas music affiliate, s'all.
