This week's optional extras:
A: March 8, 1980:
Hour #1: "Cupid/I've Loved You For A Long Time" - The Spinners (NR) Hour #2: "Think About Me" - Fleetwood Mac (#79; debuted) Hour #3: "Pilot Of The Airwaves" - Charlie Dore (#55) Hour #4: "What I Like About You" - The Romantics (#54)
The Spinners' extra replaces Paul Davis' "Do Right". It's here to pay tribute to the late Spinners' founding member Henry Fambrough, as "Games People Play" was in last week's 1975 show.
B: March 17, 1984:
Hour #1: "You Might Think" - The Cars (#46) Hour #2: "The Authority Song" - John Cougar Mellencamp (#69; debuted) Hour #3: "Head Over Heels" - The Go-Go's (#58; highest debut) Hour #4: "Sister Christian" - Night Ranger (#75)

Re: Captain and Tennille's three biggest hits. Two are correct, but the staff seemingly forgot about four singles in a row in '75-'76 that all charted higher than "You Never Done It Like That": "The Way I Want To Touch You", "Lonely Night", "Shop Around, and everyone's favorite, "Muskrat Love".

But are the two that are correct in the correct order? First of all, this is the only time that one of the three songs mentioned as being one of the artists 3 biggest hits was still in the countdown. And this was a popular feature primarily during the early 80s as AT40 tried to fill time. I say they are in the correct order and in fact, at the time of this show, they were probably in that order regardless since "Do That to Me One More Time" had not completed its chart run. But one person who would disagree with AT40 about the Captain & Tennille's biggest hit if the entire chart run of Do That was calculated is Fred Bronson. In his Hottest Hot 100 Hits book, he lists Do That at #50 and Love Will at 215. So it's not even close! However as I wrote above, I still say its "Love Will Keep Us Together". The charts were totally different in 1975 compared to 1979-80. So even though Love Will only had 6 weeks in the top 10 versus 14 weeks for Do That, 6 weeks in the top 5 versus 9 weeks and even 5 weeks in the top 2 versus 6 weeks for Do That, it gets the nod. It's basically like grading a test on a curve. And Love Will easily outpaced its contemporary hits being the #1 song of 1975 while Do That came up well short of the mark in 1980 while 6 or 7 (depending on whether you want to assign "Lady" to 1980 or 1981) other hits spent at least 4 weeks at #1 that year(to its 1 week). Btw, "Love Will Keep Us Together" is one of 4 hits in this show that were mentioned or played which were #1 for a year or a decade. Casey mentioned the #1 hit of 1979, "My Sharona" before playing the Knack hit. The #1 hit of 1980 was the highest debut..."Call Me". And the #1 hit of the 70s was played in the archive feature..."You Light Up My Life".

It's last airing was in 2019, which will be the third show to last air in that year (the other two are 1/17/1987 and 3/1/1986.) Hopefully it doesn't become a habit like last year. I agree with you, but I'm not too surprised by next week's selection. In reviewing the list of when all of the March shows previously aired, I'd noticed that the shows with the longest drought were all from 1982-1985, and since those years all played in February, I guessed that March would see a lot of recent repeats. (If you consider 2019 recent, which I do.)
