NOTES:

• Note how "Take Off" flies past five other singles in the 20s, yet ultimately goes on to peak lower than two of them.
• Actually come to think of it, this week's chart is pretty cutthroat - LOTS of songs jumping over other rising songs.
• Story behind "Band on the Run" as an Extra: Paul McCartney originally grew up playing the trumpet, but soon realized that he couldn't do both that and be a singer, which he really wanted more, so he switched to the bass guitar, later having to adjust to be able to play it left-handed. The same song is an Extra on 4-18-87, but that week focuses entirely on the guitar-playing.
• WCRZ goofed and played last week's end of Hour 3 instead of this week's. Luckily I heard the correct segments elsewhere. They did play all four extras, though.
• Heh, the girls called the song "Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog" in the second LDD, and with a laugh, Casey said, "here's the song I think you're looking for."
• #1 on the Soul chart: "That Girl"
• #1 on the Country chart: "You're the Best Break This Old Heart Has Ever Had" by Ed Bruce
• #1 on the Album chart: Beauty and the Beat by The Go-Gos

- Station Of The Week: WTOJ
- Note: Although AT40 had been a four-hour show for about five months, this was the very first show in which they opened by playing back the previous week's Top 3 songs in full. This would go on for nearly two years before the show began to cut back (and on the current AT40, it's been six months since the Top 3 recap - presumed extinct by now - was played)
- Worth noting: In what may or may not be coincidental, the word "b----in'" was edited from Billy Joel's hit
- Line of the show from Casey after the second LDD writer: "I just hope you're not spreading yourself too thin."
- In a bit of a head-scratcher, albeit played as their biggest hit (and thus unteased by Casey prior), the Everly Brothers' "Bye, Bye Love" peaked at #2 despite having three songs hit #1 - in order of fewest weeks at the top - "Wake Up Little Susie" (two weeks at #1), "All I Have To Do Is Dream" (three weeks at #1) and "Cathy's Clown" (five weeks at #1). Why "Cathy's Clown" wasn't selected is beyond me.
- #1 Soul: "Bustin' Loose" - Chuck Brown & The Soul-Searchers
- #1 Country: "Golden Tears" - Dave & Sugar
- #1 Disco: Do Ya Think I'm Sexy
- #1 Album: Spirits Having Flown - The Bee Gees

Well, there is but one 80s show coming for this weekend, and it looks...a little like this: :)

02 02 Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Shame on the Moon (2) (3rd week)
01 01 Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (1) (2nd week)

NOTES:

• "I'm Alive" debuted at the very spot that it peaked at. This would be its last week in the Top 40, having not spent a single week at any other position. If you find that odd, what do you think of the eventual chart run for "Change of Heart": 38-28-28-21-21-21-22-out.
  
• 
  A handful of songs jumped 7 notches this week, but Pat Benatar beat 'em all with her 8-notch jump. :) Funny how those songs would later outpeak hers.
  
• "Allentown" was Billy Joel's 17th Top 40 hit. Oddly fitting, isn't it?
  Interestingly, the songs in their second week at their peak would not be done spending time at their peaks, while all the songs which had spent more than 2 weeks were at their last weeks there, save for "Shame on the Moon". This of course means a hat trick of sorts for the Stray Cats, in spite of Casey's prediction of "Stray Cat Strut" possibly becoming the 13th song to hit #1 with an animal in the title. ;) (That honor would go to "Karma Chameleon".)
  
• This would be the second week at #1 for MJ on the Soul chart and the Album chart as well as here. #1 on the Country chart went to "The Rose" by Conway Twitty this week.

"I Get Lifted" - George McCrae (#37)

Biggest Mover: "No No Song/Snookeroo" - Ringo Starr (#25 to #14)
Biggest Dropper: "I'm A Woman" - Maria Muldaur (#12 to #26)

Original extras:
None

Premiere optional extras:
Hour #1: "How Long" - Ace (#77)
Hour #2: "Amie" - Pure Prarie League (#76)
Hour #3: "Shining Star" - Earth, Wind & Fire (#51)

Of note, when this show last aired in 2011, the Hour #3 op extra was Ringo Starr's "No No Song" which was at #25 that week but Casey played the flip side "Snookeroo" instead. I guess the EWF extra was probably added in memory of the late Maurice White (R.I.P.).

'80s preview is coming soon.

"Be Still My Beating Heart" by Sting (LW: 22).

NOTES:

• This week's Station of the Week: WTOJ, which had a unique "American Top 40" jingle at the start of every hour.
• As happened on 4-23, "Piano in the Dark" received the standard jingle. ("Anything For You" and "Father Figure", in turn, did not.)
• As has been Premiere's penchant in later available 1988 shows, the extras are all Shadoe-era 80s hits.
• Another week with the Spanish-English edit for "Anything For You".
• The best way to describe the story behind the "Shadow Dancing" Extra is to simply call it what it is - Casey's obituary for Andy Gibb, who died on March 10.
• Well, last week saw one Alexander O'Neal + Cherrelle pairing played - this week, sees the other! Wouldn't surprise me if this is the only time they're ever played on back-to-back weeks.
• A noticeably different version of "Pink Cadillac" was played this week; I suspect it's the album version.
• Part of me wonders why Premiere didn't just stick Taylor Dayne's extra as the Hour 2 extra since her own song ended the regular hour, though it could have been a deliberate choice on their part to separate the two.
• #1 on the Country chart: "Love Will Find its Way to You" by Reba McEntire
• #1 on the Album chart: Soundtrack to Dirty Dancing
• #1 on the Dance chart: "Don't Look Any Further" by The Kane Gang
• #1 on the Black Singles chart: "Wishing Well"

NOTES:

• This week's Station of the Week: WZMJ.
• Casey had a story behind the origin of the word "utopia", which extended to include that the band with that name was intended to be a "perfect band". Some perfect band - they'd have only 4 weeks left on the entire Hot 100 with this song, proceed to go one notch higher, and then never be heard from again!
• Suffice it to say that I had to do some research to get the islands' spelling right in the first LDD. Noooo idea how close I came on the woman's name, though.
• "This Guy's in Love With You" was in fact an impromptu extra, and NOT a LDD as was indicated on the original cue sheet. This means that in fact it's 12-11-82 that is the first show to truly have 3 LDDs.
• "Isn't Life Strange" was fairly long - not sure of exact length - and started playing while Casey was finishing reading its LDD letter.
• Come to think of it...when was the last time where all four Premiere extras were sung by women? Quite interesting to have that happen this week.
• #1 on the Country chart: "Honky Tonk Blues" by Charley Pride
• #1 on the Soul chart: "Stomp"
• #1 on the Album chart: The Wall by Pink Floyd
