Thanks. That is the week it entered the Hot 100. So this show is one of the 10 weeks in a row that "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Hungry Like the Wolf" are back to back in the countdown, a record for the first run of AT40. As bizarre as that chart factoid is, I just found an even more bizarre one. So Casey played a clip of "Radar Love" by Golden Earring. This came a couple songs after Frida was played. Frida was part of Abba who along with Golden Earring debuted the same week with their first hits. The week of 6/22/74, Golden Earring debuted at 40 and Abba debuted at 39. The last week for both Frida and Golden Earring came a few weeks after this show on 4/30/83. What are the odds of 2 artists first and last weeks on AT40 being the same week? Well, it goes further than that. Frida was at 38 and Golden Earring was at 39 on the 4/30/83 chart. What are the odds of 2 artists first and last weeks being the same week with both being back to back in the same order on both charts and being 9 years apart? It was a notch away from being the exact same positions! Of course those are the only hits for Golden Earring while Frida and Abba had many hits. Both were a lot more successful in Europe than the US too.

WWIS skipped over songs 5-3. So THAT'S why the show ended fifteen minutes early.

The 1982 Duran Duran concert that Casey referred to appears to have been at the Kabuki Theatre on July 25th. I was trying to find out who the opening band was that Simon LeBon went into the crowd to see but came up empty. The next stop in that tour was in Los Angeles and Dwight Twilley were on the bill. So it could have been them but probably not. Don't know the opening band but I do know this. Duran Duran played "Hungry Like the Wolf" in that concert. It had been released in the US in June. So this is another re-released hit in the countdown. With Casey telling the story of how "Baby Come to Me" was revived by TV, it appears that both were revived that way. Because with the popularity of their videos on MTV, you have to think Wolf was revived by that exposure.

The show for the first week of April would pretty much have to be 4/3/1982: it last aired in 2016 and we haven't heard that year in two months.

I'm thinking that the chances of them finally getting on a 1987 show the week of 4/13 are pretty good, as the last time the April 11 show was played was back in 2018, so it is definitely ripe for a repeat. That is the show where Casey told the story about members of Starship accidentally running into a hotel wall when "We Built This City" hit #1 (I believe that was also told on the "#1 Hits of the 1980s" special).

I would not be surprised if "Ebony And Ivory" Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder, which is one week away from the countdown, is an optional extra next week.

Some few Mar 19 1983 notes: Casey said there were 18 foreign acts (including 12 English acts), but before that there were 19 which was former record for most foreign acts, although Jun 1983 later on with most foreign acts so far, the British Invasion 60s somehow growing 9 years ago 1974 snippet: Radar Love Styx Mr. Roboto, robot story Jefferson Starship story #1 dance Michael Jackson - Thriller #1 adult contemporary Lionel Richie - You Are #1 home video game: Pac Man
listen ques what most 70s acts: carpenters 2nd place and jacksons tied 1st place: chicago

Next week's show being 1982 will end a five week stretch of every year from 1980-84 being featured, though not in order. Since 1985 and 1986 were played just before that streak, it should follow that 1987 and 1988 are due next; neither has been a standalone since January.

#1 home video game: Pac Man I think he said "Ms. Pac-Man." It was a notable improvement over Atari's Pac-Man, released in the spring of 1982, which had transparent ghosts and a really screwed up maze.
