All right, this weekend there are TWO '70s shows and TWO '80s shows so after a two-week reprieve, I'm back to two-part previews. I'll start with the two '70s shows first.

The "A" show this week is from 5/20/1972 which aired back in 2008.

Three songs debuted this week:

The "B" show for this week is from 5/12/1979 which aired back in 2015. Here is my repost from back then:

I’ve been listening to one part of the Number Ones of the 80s each day this week. Friday will (obviously) be the final and I’ve gone through my iTunes library and added the remaining #1s of the decade to play after it. After looking it over I only had to buy 14 songs total of the remaining ones. :)

The AT40/80s FB group had reported that 6/15/1985 was to be the 80s show. Premiere change their mind?

I have June 15, 1985 for this week and June 13, 1987 for next week. Has this changed?

It looks that way because the KOLA FM site says June 13 1987 this weekend.

[billyonaire]

OK, thanks for confirming.
