I'm glad it's the 7/16 show, because they've already aired 7/23. I'll quote Bob's #1 intro from that show: You know, down through the years, one of country music's most enduring musical forms is the story song. Hank Williams' "Kaw-Liga", Marty Robbins' "El Paso", and Kenny Rogers' "Coward Of The County" are just three examples of songs that are actually like mini-movies. Now such songs deal with a momentary crisis, but somehow, the person's overall background, attitudes, frustrations, and living conditions must also be woven into the tapestry. Then, with just the right vocal interpretation, the characters become so real you can almost touch them. And so it is with this week's number one song. Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard fit together like two sides of the same voice. And together, they bring to life Townes Van Zandt's musical saga of "Pancho And Lefty".So I wonder when – if known – the earliest mention of the running time of " Pancho and Lefty" being the longest came? If that was the BOR special on Oct. 1, 1983, or if it was one of those weeks when the song was on its way down the chart? The descent was 11 (July 30), 21 (Aug. 6) and 35 (Aug. 13) before falling out of the top 40 for Aug. 20. Brian

The 7/22/1989 show was also still using the 1984 top-of-hour opener. The 1989 theme would debut a short time later, as the 8/12 show has it, along with a new TOH opening theme.
8/1/1987 is a repeat from 2021.

I was hoping they'd do 8/6/1988 next week, but it's possible they could do it on August 9th... it would mean both Premiere and KFYZ run the same chart week for a monumental occasion (last original AT40 show with Casey but for ACC, Kingsley continuing to do ACC up until 12/24/2005).
WSM-AM featured 7/31/2010 earlier today, but we'll see what year they'll feature next once this calendar year ends if they choose to continue with the show.

Wonder if they'd run 8/6/1988, as they have aired 8/13 before (same as Shadoe's first week). But 1988 as a whole has been very, very light.

Luke Combs update: "Fast Car" is #2 this weekend after a 2-week run at #1, and "Love You Anyway" is holding at #6. We'll see if the latter can get to the top to keep his spectacular streak going.

Well, no chance of 8/6/1988 happening this year but maybe next year. However, 8/8/1981 had some country songs on the cue sheet that crossed over to the pop charts when country/pop crossover was a thing back in the early 80s, especially 1981.

Quoting myself since this is a repeat show, aired last year. And this will also duplicate for this weekend Premiere's A show offering for AT40.
