My guess is for for the first OPTIONAL EXTRA of "Too Hot" to be replaced by the AT40 Archives song of "Rich Girl" by Daryl Hall and John Oates. Either the Pink Floyd or Tom Petty songs would be a better fit for replacement if need be, since 'Rich Girl' was the third hour Archives extra.

Playing the rest of the countdown for 1984 now. I know that's not gonna do some of you any good. I sincerely apologize! Ken, I'm listening back to the 1984 countdown, and right from the first segments it seems to be a bit... fuller... than the typical Premiere offering, and it seems to time-out a bit longer than the original cuesheets. Did we get something Supersized, along with the new montage?

They could also reuse "Heartbreaker", as it wasn't in the top 40 yet but is still widely played today. "Daydream Believer" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" will be in the countdown this time.

Did we get something Supersized, along with the new montage? If I could answer, I remember a few years back (2017, perhaps?) Ken ran a supersized 1984 year-end countdown, with all edits replaced with full single versions. And there was a #1 montage added between #3 and #2. I'm guessing this same version re-aired.

Also noticing in the 1984 Top 100 that Casey intro'd AND outro'd #38 "Oh Sherrie" as being the 37th biggest hit of 1984... then rolls right on to introduce "That's Why They Call It the Blues" as #37 as well.

The 1987 show this weekend is very similar to the 1986 show from 3 weeks ago.

Perhaps it was an ex aequo placing in terms of points. Hmmm, hadn't thought of that, not since the 1975 year-end show that had a few ties. I'd think there'd be "tiebreaker scenarios" in case songs accumulated the same number of points. The correct #38 jingle was used. Not sure if Pete's book mentioned this in the notes; I don't have it at my disposal to check.

If there had been a tie, I would have expected an explicit mention of it as they did in '75

"I Guess that's Why They Call it The Blues" had 554 points and "Oh Sherry" had 550 points going by the methodology used by AT40. There was no tie.

Thinking it may have been Casey's writer who flubbed it, and Casey mentioned the incorrect #37 position both in the intro and outro. 1984 was the first year-end countdown I listened to, and I remember catching that as a kid. But like I said, the correct #38 jingle was used. Thank you for the clarification, vince. 🙂
