I've saw that next weeks shows are
AT40 70's 4/10/76
AT40 80's 4/2/88 (A) 4/4/81 (B) & I wonder that even though it's a B show would they change one of the optional extras to "What Are We Doin' In Love" as a Kenny Rogers tribute even though he's just a featured artist on Dottie's song.

[jdelachjr2002]

Well, we all know by now what this weekend's shows will be and since there are two '80s shows this week, I'm back to two-part postings. I'll start with the '70s first.

They did that with some of the 88 shows trying to get songs that were hits during the Shadoe era played. It's kind of silly as a lot of stations don't play the optional extras anyway & most are big hits that 80's station play anyway. I'd rather them use it for songs that just missed the Top 40 or lower peaking songs you don't hear much on the radio.
