This show contains Real Life's only other hit besides "Send Me an Angel": "Catch Me I'm Falling" spent just one week in the top 40 at #40 and dropped out the following week. Great song -- one of those that SHCH. SHCH? Should have charted higher? Yessir

I predict 5/3/86 for the weekend of May 4. It last aired as a standalone in..... 2010! Such a great show -- maybe my favorite 1986 show (along with 7/19/86) and one of the best of the 80's. Weird that its only airing since 2010 was as a 'B' show (in 2018). 5/3/86 was also featured in AT40 flashback around the turn of the century. Aka the 1st incarnation of AT40 80s retro broadcasts. I should have both broadcasts (2010 & 2001/2002). But definitely interested in grabbing the may 84 broadcast. I don't have anything from May although I do have a piece of that show from when I recorded it in 1984 from WRAR fm. IIRC farewell my summer love also debuts.

Most times you want to hear the album version of a hit, it is because you want to hear a longer version of a song you like. But there are 2 songs in this show with a different reason for wanting to hear the album version. People might want to hear the album version of "Mr. Sandman" because they prefer hearing the vocals of Linda Ronstadt and Dolly Parton in the song. Coming up will be "While You See a Chance" and people would want to hear the album version of that to avoid having to hear the bad edit on the single ('eeeee').

Did WWIS start early today? Tuned in late, and right now at 40 minute after the hour they are already up to #32. With the top 3 recap leading off the show, seems like they must've started the show early. I missed "Wasn't that a Party", which is a fun song.

I'm listening to the 2014 Premiere airing... They only played last weeks #1 in the recap, and they actually got to #30 in the first hour, plus the first Archives extra. ETA: Also in that 2014 airing, my recording doesn't have the Larry Morgan intro to the second hour. Was it included in this go-around?

Assumed that all three from of the previous week's top 3 had been played.

Actually WWIS started the show about 3 minutes after 1 p.m. local time.

Coming up will be "While You See a Chance" and people would want to hear the album version of that to avoid having to hear the bad edit on the single ('eeeee'). I'm thinking that song was edited that way so they could feature the synth solo that precedes the final chorus - as the other one, during which Winwood sings "oh, your way", is kinda weak and all (especially compared to the one with the synth) - but it would make for a better sounding edit.

My prediction for the second weekend of May is 5/11/1985 (last aired in 2018 as the "B" show); the last standalone was the 2/23 show.

Assumed that all three from of the previous week's top 3 had been played. Listening to AT40: The 80's 4/25/1981 this morning via WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM this Sunday morning, the top 3 recap was just the previous week's #1 song ("Kiss on My List" by the now broken up for good Hall and Oates) played.
