I think Chex cereals missed a golden advertising opportunity to turn the song into a jungle, with people declaring "I want your Chex!" "Chex are natural, Chex are good. Not everybody eats them, but everybody should." I've always thought Arby's could have turned the Go-Gos 'We Got The Beat' into a jingle called 'We Got The Meats'! Obviously, they didn't want to pay the royalties because they're only off by one word as it's Arby's, We Have the Meats.

So a show that aired one time eight years ago (7/5/1986) gets passed over for a show that will be airing for the fourth time and last aired four years ago. And from a year that was played by itself just five weeks earlier. Granted, in terms of what radio stations play and the songs and artists people remember best, you really can't go wrong with 1983, but this is the third standalone from that year since they last did 1982, and their second since they last featured 1984, 1986, or 1988. Also I believe this is the second year in a row that not a single show featuring "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" aired. Not even as an optional extra.

And a year that, including the 7/9/83 show, will have been aired five times--all as an 'A' show--through the first weekend in July. I agree that 7/5/86 would've been nice to hear next week. As for 1982, it's on the opposite end of that spectrum -- just two airings so far this year, and the last was 3 months ago. The odds would figure to be pretty good that we'll get 7/10/82 (last aired in 2017 as a 'B' show, last aired as an 'A' in 2014) the weekend of July 13th. For anyone needing a 1982 fix, Slammin' Sam Meyers is playing 1982 for the Fox 50 Flashback countdowns every Tuesday. Fingers crossed that Premiere finally plays 7/21/84 for the first time in 14 years the weekend of July 20th...

Territory FM Darwin Australia started the 80's show at 3:30 p.m. eastern today. They are inconsistent in their start times.

Why no specials for July 4th weekend? I would also note there were no specials for Memorial Day weekend this year.

The timing may be right for Casey Kasem’s last special for ABC Watermark from July ’88, “The Triathlon of Rock & Roll.” This special connects the Summer Olympics competitions of 1988 and 2024 with an underlying theme of music’s “endurance champions” from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
