80s0n8 Big 40 Countdown Schedule

If they actually do '88 this weekend (they just did it two weeks ago) I'm going with "Hold On To The Nights"

If they do '80 (which many are predicting at the at40 forum) I'm going with "Magic"

If they do '86 (which is the alternate guess at at40) I'm going with "Papa Don't Preach"
 
Misater sadchild, the posters on the AT40 board should know there is nothing unusual about 31 of the top-40 songs of any particular week still being in the top-40 two weeks later. Thirty-three of the top-40 songs on the July 25 1987 chart were still in the top 40 two weeks later. Thirty-four songs on the top-40 chart of June 2 1984 were still in the top-40 two weeks later. These are just two examples of many. (Minnie says hello, by the way.)
 
I think they were just pointing out that we'll only hear 7 different songs from the ones we heard two weeks ago.

But an interesting trivia tidbit there fo sho!

That is pretty close together. Usually it is done when they do a December 1980 countdown and then 2 weeks later a January 1981 countdown. In August this means they are deliberately repeating. And if they are, why not repeat a good year like 1983?
