^Correct - it wasn't often AT40 had a regular show dated past Christmas Eve. 1985, 1986 & 1987 all had regular shows dated after 12/25, then the top 100 of the year followed (to coincide with BB's frozen week). And, of course, the latest of those three (12/28/1985) has yet to be played in the series. Wonder how Premiere is going to slot that one (guessing the weekend of 12/23, if it's on this year's schedule). You almost feel that if they don't play 12/28/85 this year, they'll have to wait until they calendar aligns properly again--and we won't get a year like this year or last again until 2022. However...somehow I feel like Premiere will find a way to play that show before then.

^Doubtful they'd air it then. I don't see any other time they could.

However...somehow I feel like Premiere will find a way to play that show regardless. It'll be interesting to see what Premiere does this year, because the last time December lined up the way it does this year was 2006, the year before the 70s and 80s series started. I think it'll be similar, with Christmas falling on a Monday, and thinking many stations will still be in Christmas mode on 12/23 & 12/24, so Premiere may wait to air the year-end offerings on the weekends of 12/30 & 1/6. (Which makes more sense to do so than AT40 previously did in 1972 and 1978, when December aligned with 2017, airing the year-end shows on the last two weekends of the year.) Hopefully for the sake of those wanting to hear it, Premiere will fit it in.

I hope by end of 2019 if my calculations are correct, then Premiere may have aired all regular 70s and 80s shows, excluding guest hosted shows and specials.

So, according to my math, it appears there are only 19 shows from the 80s series that have not aired as yet (that number may be knocked down to 18 if the 7/25/1981 show is struggling to be remastered). That averages out to about 9 fresh shows for each of 2017 and 2018. It could be possible that all of the available 80s shows may be exhausted by the end of 2018, and all the vast number of available 70s shows exhausted by the end of 2019.

Hey, what happened to the listing of shows that have yet to be played?
