Maybe the censor didn't allow that word. I'm positive that this board's 'church lady' censor did not. I guess we can never discuss a certain Tom Jones hit. Or a certain 2000s girl group, who had hits including “Don’t Cha”, “Stickwitchu”, and “Buttons”, among others.

Regarding last weekend's 12/13/1980 show besides Casey's John Lennon mourning, Casey mentioned to tie in with John Cougar other top 40 acts mentioning/named after cats. Among them: Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys, Kitty Kallen, Kitty Wells, and Cat Stevens. Post 1980 we had other top 40 acts named after cats - The Stray Cats, Glass Tiger, Def Leppard, and White Lion. I wonder if Cat Power ever made Ryan Seacrest AT40 as of the late 2000's or the 2010's decade. There was also one other cat named act Casey never mentioned that never made the top 40: Josie and the Cats (Based on a 1970's Hanna-Barbera cartoon where in it Casey was the voice of Alexander Cabot, which was adapted from an Archie comic book series). Cat Power did not. But the biggest cat act would be Doja Cat who has the current #1 "Paint The Town Red." ADD: Also PinkPantheress who had "Boy's A Liar," and Tyga.

Here are my guesses for the AT40: The 1980's standalone A shows paired with B shows for the November-December 2023 months: November 4-5, 2023: November 5, 1983 November 11-12, 2023: November 14, 1981 November 18-19, 2023: November 16, 1985 November 25-26, 2023: November 29, 1980 (Last aired in 2019!) December 2-3, 2023: December 1, 1984 December 9-10, 2023: December 11, 1982 (This is due for another playing.) December 16-17, 2023: December 20, 1986 December 23-24, 2023: December 26, 1987 (Last aired in 2019, of course!) And for the New Year weekends of December 30-31, 2023 and January 6-7, 2024: The Top 100 of 1983 spread over 2 weeks. Sometime next week on the AT40: The 70's thread I will make my November-December 2023 AT40: The 70's standalone with Christmas shows guesses. With 1983 being announced as the year-end Top 100, looks like you had some really good predictions here with only 11/29/80 and 12/26/87 being wrong. I'm assuming most of these are the shows that Premiere hasn't played in the longest amount of time? In place of 11/29/80, they went with 11/28/87, which hadn't been played since 2015.

Have they ever aired the original 12/13/80 show? Or do they only ever play the updated one? It's still a very unfortunate song to follow the John Lennon tribute.

The only one Premiere has played is the one minus the posthumous hits QL and with the tribute to Lennon. AFAIK the only time the 'original' aired is by a few stations that didn't get the memo/replacement disks back in 1980 (or chose to air the 'original' show despite the replacement disks). The differences between the two have been mentioned upthread.

That John Lennon tribute always makes me cry, no matter how many times I hear it. You can just hear Casey’s voice shaking. When he said “husband to Yoko, father to Sean (he left out his other son Julian)” and “And Sean, when you’re old enough to begin wondering why people love The Beatles and your father so much, they’ll be millions of us around to explain it you”. He would’ve been 83 this year. I can’t believe he was only 40, 3 years younger than I am now, when he was murdered . Speaking of which I thought it was interesting that Casey said "John Lennon died" and not "John Lennon was murdered" or "John Lennon was assassinated". (I've seen it listed as an assassination in some places but I prefer to call it a murder)

I just had a thought and I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question but with Christmas Eve on a Sunday this year, will stations still air the week’s show? I know last year, with Christmas on a Saturday *some* stations didn’t air the show, instead playing Christmas Music (ugh) or a AT40 Christmas special. I know I can’t take anymore Christmas music. If I hear that Mariah Carey song anymore, I think I’m going to turn homicidal. I guess we’ll find out this weekend but I really hope the stations I listen to the show (KQEL Saturday night or KOLA on Sunday night) air the 1986 show.

Is WTOJ going to play the Top 100 of 1983 in one shot?

Bill Benjamin of WPNC announced on Facebook that they'll be doing AT40 marathons after Christmas (presumably Tuesday 12/26 thru Friday 12/29). No schedule yet that I've seen.

Don't know about the weekend, but WWIS on Friday (1PM CT) should be a safe bet.
