At first, when Casey announced the spotlight, I thought he was going to play the top songs of the year, from 1990 through 1999.  So when I heard the first Spotlight jingle, I was thinking that he'd play "Oh Girl" by Paul Young.  But he played "Release Me" by Wilson Phillips.  Then I got to thinking, "Oh, he's playing the number one songs from mid-October of their respective years."  What I didn't stop to think about was that "Release Me" hit number one in mid-September.  Then, when he played "All The Man That I Need" by Whitney Houston for the 1991 song, I concluded that he was just playing selected #1s from each year. 
As for the chart, as I predicted, Josh Groban re-enters the Top Ten.  But he won't be there for long, however, as he only has one more week before he hits the 50-week mark on the R&R chart and he'll automatically be removed then.  My guess is that the song "8th World Wonder" will be pulled back into the Top Ten via vacuum effect that week.  I sure hope so, since that's a cool song.
BTW, I think I missed at least one song, but it may have been two.  If you know what it is, by all means, let me know.

Wow, who would have ever thought Eminem would have a top 10 AC hit? ;)

I caught the tale end of the countdown. The Spotlight was a bit dull this week. It would have been interesting if there was a pattern to them like ulij20 suggested. #1's from this week in each of the years in the 90's would have been cool.

The only charting song which I would have bothered to tune in to hear would have been "You'll Think of Me", since that isn't played on my local AC station.

I haven't heard Eminem's cover of that song. It's always nice to see an AC staple artist on the chart.

Sorry for the late response. I've just been super busy with things at work and haven't had time to surf the net.

Anyway, the 2 missing songs are "I Feel The Earth Move" by Carole King and "Can't We Try" by Dan Hill f/Vonda Shepard.

It was good hearing "All The Man That I Need." I don't remember the last time I heard Casey play that one. Also, I had no idea that Kenny G was on that song.

Thanks. Which one was an "Extra" and which was an "Archive" song?

[BillboardBoy]

"Can't We Try" was the Extra, although honestly, I don't remember what it was about.

Anytime I hear a song by Dan Hill, I think of the time that Rick Dees introduced him as "The lovely and talented Dan Hill." :)
