In the 1984 show Casey mentions that US magazine said Bruce Springsteen was “Wimpy and skinny”. On what planet is Bruce Springsteen “wimpy”? That same story was narrated in the 04-09-1988 program.

Maybe the last weekend of September 2024 could be 9/26/1981 or 9/28/1985. I think those are the only two shows that would work for that weekend, after we exclude shows dated before 9/25, years featured in the preceding few weeks, and shows played in the last two years. It could, but I think 1981 holds off until October I do believe - there's also a chance those two shows could be paired together if 9/26/81 is the A show and 9/28/85 is the B show, but I don't know if they've ever played years from 1981/1985 this year as A and B shows (they certainly have done so in years past).

In fact, last time was this very week in 2022.

Regarding 9/20/1980 I am listening to this morning via WXXM Rewind 92.1 FM Madison, Wisconsin: The only dabut by Elton John called "Don't You Wanna Play This Game No More" at #40 is notible as the only debut is because: 1) It's where Casey says the subtitle but not the main title (S.E.) like Casey did with "In My Hands" in 2000-2001 and "I Don't Want You Back" in 2003. 2) On the second week of the Elton John song where it would peak at #39 the next week on 9/27/1980, Lon Thomas was guest hosting for Casey Kasem on AT40 that week.

Another mention of "Mull of Kintyre" failing to chart in the 1980 show. This comes 3 weeks after another Paul McCartney release failed to chart. His followup to "Coming Up" called "Waterfalls" peaked at 108. A few big name artists had subpar chart performances in this time. In this show with hits that peaked in the 30s are Elton, Hall & Oates and Jermaine Jackson (not as big a name as the others but writer and producer Stevie Wonder is). "Mull of Kintyre" was on the B side of Wings' "Girls School" which peaked at #33 in 1978. Doubtful a 1978 AT40: The 70's show would play "Mull of Kintyre" as an OPTIONAL EXTRA someday.

True but embarrassing misheard lyric story on this song. It was probably because I had taken HS biology the spring before it came out, but I thought the last line before the chorus was "I believe I'm feeling endospores." All that aside, I thought it should've been a much bigger hit.

And there's also the possibility that we could have both September 1981 and October 1981 shows be featured - in fact 10/24/81 hasn't been played since 2015 should they go that route. Then again who knows what's gonna happen on what show or shows will be selected for the last weekend of September.

Another 3 weeks in a row of early 80s A shows. Maybe we could get for October 2024 these standalones for AT40: The 80's: October 5-6, 2024: October 9, 1983 October 12-13, 2024: October 12, 1985 October 19-20, 2024: October 17, 1987 Then maybe for the last weekend of October the October 24, 1981 or October 31, 1981 AT40 A show with a B show, then in November and December up until Christmas it will be the usual A standalone 1980-1987 shows paired with AT40 Christmas B shows, and the for the end of 2024/start of 2025 my guess for the AT40: The 80's year ender could be the top 100 of 1982 as the A entry with the top 100 of 1985 as the B entry.
