I have no idea since I never really followed the charts, but wasn't Sky's "Love Song" once a Sure Shot that never ended up charting?

I seem to remember the following songs being Sure Shots in 1989: Steve Winwood -- "Hearts On Fire" Robert Palmer -- "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" (remake of the Jermaine Jackson song from 1984) There was another one from that year: Rick Astley's remake of the Four Tops classic "Ain't Too Proud To Beg".

I haven't listened to the Weekly Top 40 in quite a while. Here's a listing of non-charting Sure Shots from the notes that I do have (apologies if some of these have already been posted). I listened the WT40 pretty regularly from '92 to '94. I headed off to college in the fall of '94, so my records are pretty spotty after that. In the early '00s, I pretty much gave up on the WT40 all-together.
It's pretty interesting to see what odd singles the WT40 crew genuinely believed would be hits.
03/21/92: Lightning Seeds - The Life Of Riley 04/12/92: ZZ Top - Viva Las Vegas 10/17/92: Gloria Estefan - Always Tomorrow 11/07/92: Sonia Dada - You Ain't Thinking (About Me) 01/23/93: Paul McCartney - Hope Of Deliverance 05/22/93: Madonna - Fever 06/12/93: R.E.M. - The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite 06/19/93: Michael Damian - Reach Out To Me 06/26/93: Billy Idol - Shock To The System 08/21/93: Luther Vandross - Heaven Knows 10/16/93: Bee Gees - Paying The Price Of Love 02/05/94: Aretha Franklin - A Deeper Love 03/05/94: Pet Shop Boys - I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing 04/09/94: Taylor Dayne - I'll Wait 04/16/94: The Breeders - Divine Hammer 04/30/94: Katey Sagal - Can't Hurry The Harvest 05/21/94: For Real - You Don't Wanna Miss Me 07/02/94: Crash Test Dummies - Afternoons And Coffeespoons 07/23/94: C+C Music Factory - Do You Wanna Get Funky 07/30/94: Nona Gaye and Prince - Love Sign 07/29/95: Dionne Farris - Don't Ever Touch Me (Again) 11/18/95: Bonnie Raitt with Bryan Adams - Rock Steady 02/10/96: N-Trance - Stayin' Alive 03/23/96: Diana King - Ain't Nobody
10/12/96: The Braids - Bohemian Rhapsody 05/10/97: Duran Duran - Out Of My Mind 06/21/97: Baha Men - That's The Way I Get Down 05/23/98: Gloria Estefan - Heaven's What I Feel 07/25/98: Inner Circle - Not About Romance 08/08/98: Dakota Moon - Another Day Goes By 05/08/99: The Cranberries - Promises 08/14/99: Chris Gaines - Lost In You 03/11/00: Phoenix Stone - Nothing Good About Goodbye 01/06/01: No Doubt - Bathwater 03/03/01: Vitamin C - As Long As You're Loving Me

For what it's worth, JoJo's song currently appears on the Weekly Top 40.
Also, The Braids' version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" did hit Rick's chart. Both of these songs charted in eras when the show was not using the official pop chart.

She hosted the countdown that year but I think it was in July.

I have no idea since I never really followed the charts, but wasn't Sky's "Love Song" once a Sure Shot that never ended up charting? "Love Song" charted for about a month in the spring of 1999, peaking at 34 and falling out the following week.

"Looking For A Place To Land" would probably have made the Rick Dees chart if they had synchronized it with R&R on a different week. On the R&R chart for February 1, 2002 the song was at number 40. That's the chart that would have been used on the Rick Dees show on February 16, since they were two weeks behind, like they had been since July, 1994. Well, February 16, 2002 happened to be the week that they jumped ahead to be only one week behind R&R, like AT40. This means that they had to skip a chart and the February 1 chart was the one they skipped. Hence, "Looking For A Place To Land" was never heard on the Rick Dees show, yet it hit the R&R chart for a week. While it's true that Rick Dees shut out some songs that made the R&R chart, those were usually rap songs. "Looking For A Place To Land" was far from being that.

Wasn't "Pride (In The Name Of Love)" by Clivilles & Cole a Sure Shot one time? I don't think that made it. You are correct. Also, that mash-up by Pink Vs. E.L.O.

Was that on the Number One Hits special that was broadcast back in early July and again earlier this year? I don't think it was the Sure Shot. It was one of his number one songs in 2002. The show was not a countdown; he just played songs that hit number one on his chart over the past four years.

There was another one from that year: Rick Astley's remake of the Four Tops classic "Ain't Too Proud To Beg". What about another song from him from that year called "Giving Up on Love"? It reached #38 on the Billboard chart, but didn't hit R&R.

I thought it would've made top 40.

08/21/93: Luther Vandross - Heaven Knows What chart did Rick use then? This one charted on Casey's Top 40 and the show was using R&R at the time. I'm assuming the WT40 was also using R&R, so that "Heaven Knows" should've charted.

You might be confusing this song with "Always And Forever", which hit #40 for a single week a few months later. "Heaven Knows" never charted.

Well, maybe I am wrong, but I still seem to recall this being on CT40. I'll just let it go...

Is it possible that you're thinking of "Casey's Countdown"? ulij20 can probably confirm this, but I believe the song peaked in the upper teens on the AC chart in the fall of 1993. If the song was played on CT40, it's possible that it was a R&D. "I Will Remember You" was played as a dedication on CT40 before it ever charted. My charts from the mid 90s are spotty as well. College became a huge obstacle in my way of retaining weekly charts from the various countdown shows.

It was CT40 because I used to have to catch it on a CHR station that was outside my area since no station where I was at the time played it.
