Few 1985 At40 notes: Frankie Goes to Hollywood, 3 British #1's, same for gary pacemaker. Frankie's first top 40 US hit madonna story, first recording contract age 17, new york city commodores only hit without Lionel Richie vocals dire straits story, snippet sultans of swing; producing tina turner private dancer listen question: group most chart albums sold: 35 - beatles (#3), 36 - the ventures (#2), 37 - beach boys (#1) soft jingles: the old man down the road, I Want to Know What Love Is, loverboy about phil collins easy lover, great wall of china one wk away hitting countdown: animotion - Obsession, prince - take me with u (sorry for my poor grammar) WNSN hasnt played church plumbing and heating for months 2/23/1985 was originally an AT40 Flashback show starting with hour #2 back in 2001 - This was the first AT40 Flashback show carried by WZZN The Zone FM 94.7 Chicago (nowadays Classic Hits WLS 94.7 FM Chicago) back in Feb. 2001 when the station began to carry it until September 2001 when the show was dropped as the station switched from 1980's/Hot AC to alternative/new rock. I definitely remember that. Also, next weekend's March 1, 1986 show was the FB show the following weekend. I remember going for a drive around southern La Porte county while listening to that show - basically just killing time before the service at the church across the street ended and I got my parking space back.

Only 8 weeks and with this chart run: 42-(13-3-2-2-1-4-9-20)-4 That final week's chart position was 43. 10 weeks in the Hot 100 was also quite short for a #1, even in '65. Not sure what this has to do with the '80s show--was 'Henry' played in this week's '85 show?

The number 3 got lost in copying. mga707, I thought you were a "diligent", i.e. loyal listener of the weekly AT40, so your question surprises me a bit.

Only 8 weeks and with this chart run: 42-(13-3-2-2-1-4-9-20)-43 Short run -- it was more typical for songs to drop out of the Hot 100 from within the top 40 back then (e.g. "In the Year 2525" fell out of the Hot 100 from #39 after spending 12 weeks in the top 40 and 14 total on the Hot 100+Bubbling Under charts, six of which were at #1), which this song didn't quite--spending a week at #43 before falling out, but almost.

'80s is more hit-and-miss, especially after '81-'82. I did catch part of this '85 show on WWIS on Friday, but didn't hear the 'Herman' update.

I guess the weekend of 3/16/2024 could be 3/14/1981.

Aha, so that means that you haven´t heard all parts of this program yourself. Otherwise I would have thought of a page of the (virtual) book "Frustration when parts of an AT40 show are not broadcast".

I guess the weekend of 3/16/2024 could be 3/14/1981. Keep in mind that the last show Premiere played that would land chronologically before January/February 1981 was 12/13/80 (i.e. that would contain some of the same songs). Still a bit of a drought, but not technically since November.

Keep in mind that the last show Premiere played that would land chronologically before January/February 1981 was 12/13/80 (i.e. that would contain some of the same songs). Still a bit of a drought, but not technically since November. Under that standard, there was a drought of October 1981 to February 1982 which ended just a couple of weeks ago when 2/6/82 was played. For the 70s shows (considering only the A's), there's been a similar drought of October 1974 to March 1975 which is only being relieved this coming weekend. And one from November 1977 which is still ongoing into March, as with 1975 coming up this weekend 1978 is the only year that hasn't yet been an A or standalone in 2024 (not counting the year end show).
