I know it has been mentioned at times about AT40 Flashback still being aired on one station someplace. Well, if you go to the at40.de page, the station is now online and listed there as airing the show. I'll have to check it out this weekend. How was it again that they were able to air the show?

I assume is that they kept all of the old CD's of the shows and just rerun them, and (hopefully) edit out the old national commercials on those discs.
I'm honestly suprised Premiere has allowed this.

Editing a paper and checking the AT40 boards simultaneously is something I will never do again...  |

I'm honestly suprised Premiere has allowed this. I'd guess they either didn't know about it, or have more important things to do besides sending cease-and-desist letters. Guess we should enjoy it while it lasts... |

I hear that the April 27, 1985 show was run this past weekend. When I heard that the Flashback show repeats were being aired on that one station, I momentarily entertained the idea of listening to my CD copy of the shows as soon as I found out what show was being run, but, since I just spent the past two years listening to one show each weekend (through random drawing), I decided against it. There were so many shows that just aired that I heard sometime in late 2004. Listening to the same show just months apart would be rather boring.
However, the April 27, 1985 show contained several songs that I hadn't heard in ages. Included are "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid" by Hall & Oates, "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle, "Rock & Roll Girls" by John Frogerty, and "Forever Man" by Eric Clapton (though the latter two are sometimes played on classic rock stations). I was hoping to hear "Vox Humana" on that show, but unfortunately, that song was at #30 an, like most 1985 shows, the second hour started with song #29 (one show even started off with #28!)
I predict that they'll run the May 3, 1986 show next week. That show started off at #32 with "Crush On You" by the Jets and we even got to hear a song that was shut out of the R&R chart, "Saturday Love" by Alexander O'Neal with Cherrelle, a duo that had another Top 40 hit exactly a year later ("Never Knew Love Like This")
Incidentally, Rob Durkee's name is mentioned in that May, 1986 show, when he commented on something about people with the last name of Taylor (to tie in with the obscure "I Do What I Do" by former Duran Duran member John Taylor.

I wish they would let the station play other old AT40 shows, I mean they have kept this up for a couple of years they may as well open the library to them and see if maybe something catches on now. It would be better to let one station attempt it and see if it works than to mass produce the shows again and there not be many takers on it.l

This week, it was the April 24, 1982 show, which kicked off with the Stars On 45 medley that was called "A Tribute To Stevie Wonder". Stevie Wonder was a hot topic in hour number one. Aside from a medley of his songs starting off the Flashback countdown, he was mentioned as being the artist who tied Al Green and the Four Tops for the longest run at the top - nine weeks. The song that tied the record was "That Girl", which was making a big drop of 10-26, due to playlists dropping that song in favor of his duet with Paul McCartney, "Ebony And Ivory", which made the biggest move of the week.
I must say, this countdown had its share of obscure hits. Besides the Stars On 45 song, we had "Mama Used To Say" by Junior, "Theme From Magnum P.I." by Mike Post, "Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk" by Dr. Hook, "Hang Fire" by the Rolling Stones, "Goin' Down" by the late Greg Guidry, "Nobody Said It Was Easy (Looking For The Lights)" by Le Roux, "The Beatles Movie Medley" by the Beatles, "Find Another Fool" by Quarterflash, and "(Oh) Pretty Woman" by Van Halen. Other songs some might consider lost hits, but the ones listed above are songs that I haven't heard on the radio, as regular programming, in ten or more years (I last listened to the CD copy of this show in mid-March of last year, so that's why I still remember much of it).

Go to www.at40.de and you will find a link there to the station(just above the section for AT20). To the right of the station's call letters click on one of the two links and you'll hear the station. Flashback comes on at 6am Central Daylight time Saturday, 7am Eastern, 5 am Mountain and 4 am Pacific. |

This week it was Apr 23, 1983 and began with #31. Probably the AT40 most hated by Michael Jackson since a song that prevented him from having back to back #1s was at #1.

And that would, of course, be "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners, my personal choice for the greatest One-Hit Wonder of the Rock Era (if it's not "Float On" by the Floaters). ;D
