I did not see the later post about 1987 being this week's show and heard the 1980 show. First of all, that makes sense to play 87 instead of 80 seeing as the 12/22/79 show was played in December even if that is the 70s series. But in that 1980 show, Casey says that "On the Radio" which debuted had been an album cut. First of all, that is rare for him to make such a statement. Might have made it for "Thriller". But how much of an album cut was it? It debuted on what would have been the 2/2/80 show had there been a countdown of R&R hits in 1980. That covers airplay for the week ending 1/19 or 20/80. If it had been an album cut, I would have expected it to be on the R&R chart a lot earlier than that.

Many of the same songs from 12-20-86 will be heard in the '87 show this weekend.

If it had been an album cut, I would have expected it to be on the R&R chart a lot earlier than that. The album that "On the Radio" was on, Donna Summer's "On the Radio-Greatest Hits-Volumes 1 & II", charted on the week ending November 3, 1979. Which means that it was released several weeks prior to that in October. The "On the Radio" single debuted on the Hot 100 the week ending January 12, 1980, at #86. The following week it rose to #49 and then to #35 the week ending January 26. By that point "No More Tears" had dropped out of the 40, falling from #38 all the way down to #94. I suspect that Casablanca had held off releasing it as a single until the very end of 1979 so as not to affect Donna's previous singles. The 12-inch version of "No more Tears" was on Casablanca. The 7-inch 'regular' 45 was on Columbia, Barbra Streisand's label. Donna's previous solo single, "Dim All the Lights", was also in the top 40 through the middle of December 1979.

That makes sense that Radio was an album cut seeing as the parent album had been out since the beginning of November. Digging around Billboard and R&R issues from late 1979 might reveal that it was being played on certain stations.

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? Yes. I did replace all the music for the year end countdown so the songs sounded better with a digital source.

Casey says that 1986 was known as the year of the black female artist according to Quincy Jones. 2 of them are obvious...Janet and Whitney. Wonder who the others were. Patti LaBelle, Anita Baker, Sade and Tina Turner would be solid choices.

On The Radio did make it to the top of the chart in Record World in March 1980, Donna Summer had 6 #1's in RW. Here is a link to a countdown that features Donna at #1 with On the Radio (spoiler alert). archive.org/details/rwc-1980030801/RWC1980030801.mp3

For AT40: The 80's 1/17/1987, Casey mentioned in the intro that there are 4 Billys in the countdown - Joel, Idol, Ocean, and Vera.

Ken might be buried in a snowdrift right now based on the radar. How does Ken survive there? I'm grumpy because it's been 30s and 40s here in desert SW since Xmas. Finally back into the 50s later this week.

(It was rather snowy and blustery this morning while the 70's show was on... I was crossing my fingers the whole time making sure the station stayed on!)
