Why oh why is “Puttin On The Ritz” always edited? POTR getting the “Eyes Without A Face” treatment. This may be due to the fact that there are two different versions. The "actual" version - with "Livin´ In My Dream World" on the B-side - is 4.36 minutes long. However, there are a number of samplers (e.g. "1983...Summer Breaks" - EMI GIVE 2009) that contain a shorter version (3.25) (see also www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp2ofuxpDvw).

Eurythmics also did that with their last hit in 1989. There have to be others after 1982 to the present day. Paul Anka: "Hold Me Till The Morning Comes (1983) Yes: "Rhythm Of Love" (1988) Simple Minds: "See The Lights" (1991) are 3 more.
Another addition thanks to listening to 10/22/1983 on the Classic AT40 channel: Stacy Lattisaw's "Miracles" spent its only week in the Top 40 at #40.

I'd lean toward 10/17 as it hasn't been aired as a standalone in 10 years. With 1983 and 87 B's in the last couple of weeks, and 1986 next up on its own, this week's B should be 1984 or 1985. And this is the second time in two months that 1980, 81, and 82 have been A's in three consecutive weeks, though not in order.

Or it's possible that 10/8/83 could be played on the second weekend in October - it's still a possibility as Premiere has known to occasionally backtrack sometimes. It doesn't happen too often but they do it from time to time, although it last aired as a B show in 2021.

The first three OE's for 10/4/86 were future # 1 hits.

WPNC replayed the 9/24/1983 show. Unfortunately they have the same janky download that they played Sunday, which was missing the last 30 seconds of "Tell Her About It", the first minute or so of "Maniac" and Casey's segue between them in H1S1 during the recap of last weeks top 3.

Is the "B" show officially 9/28/1985 or is it a different date?

This week's A show is an historic one both personally and for AT40. It was 15 years ago that this became the first AT40 that I heard as a rebroadcast. I was flipping channels on TV and when I got to the Sirius 80s on 8, I was at first perplexed when they were playing this show, not realizing AT40 shows were being rebroadcast. They were still playing AT40 shows on that channel. Only caught the last 7 songs.
But that top 7 is historic in a couple ways. There are 3 hits which are the first singles from albums that would generate 4 top 40 hits. I count only 7 albums that had generated 4 top hits in AT40 history to that point excluding soundtracks. All 3 albums catapulted Journey, Foreigner and Stevie Nicks from major to superstar artist. The latter was in the middle of a then record 6 weeks at #3 with "Stop Draggin my Heart Around". Which leads into the other historical aspect of that part of the chart. The top 5 are all holding at their peak positions. This is only the third time such a thing has happened in AT40 history. The second was 2 weeks earlier when all but #2 were the same hits(#2 then was "Slow Hand"). And the first time was on 6/28/75. Now for the absolute record. The total weeks those 5 hits on 9/26/81 had spent at their positions was 21. That number would never be threatened the rest of the 80s. And it was 10 weeks on 6/28/75 and 14 weeks on 9/12/81.

This week's optional extras:
A: September 26, 1981:
Hour #1: "Here I Am (Just When I Thought I Was Over You)" - Air Supply (#54; highest debut) Hour #2: "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" - The Police (#66; debuted) Hour #3: "Our Lips Are Sealed" - The Go-Go's (#51) Hour #4: "No Reply At All" - Genesis (#85; debuted)
Of note: It's possible Premiere could replace one of those extras with J.D. Souther & James Taylor's duet "Her Town Too" to honor Souther's passing. (If we get a 1979 A or B in early October then "You're Only Lonely", which debuted on 10/20/79, could be similarly used.)
B: September 28, 1985:
Hour #1: "Weird Science" - Oingo Boingo (#56) Hour #2: "Never" - Heart (#46) Hour #3: "So In Love" - Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark (#54) Hour #4: "Broken Wings" - Mr. Mister (#66)

During the 9/28/85 show, Casey mentioned that they had received many LDD letters for Samantha Smith. If you need a refresher on her short life and tragic death, here’s the Wikipedia page… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Smith
