I could not find a station that played 1/16/1971 and I went through my list of B stations Sat and Sun. They all played 1979 WVWP and WQMV were at least two stations that had 1971

^Mark said the original German version of 99 Luftballoons did not chart in the USA. MTV and American radio originally played the German version. Then switched to the English words version of the song and the video. No surprise that Mark totally butchered that explanation up, but those are your experts. The English version was the flip so per the Billboard rules in place at the time both sides were combined into one chart entry. It basically killed the double-sided-hit single. Given that both versions got significant airplay, I think both titles should have been shown like was done in Radio and Records. It would have been interesting seeing the chart action for each side. www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Archive-RandR/1980s/1984/RR-1984-01-20.pdf

I think I heard this chart referred to as "1/19/84" and "1/20/84"
1. Alan said In The Mood was just into the top 40 this week... it was actually the final of five panels. 2. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Stevie Nicks album was released in 1984, really 1983. Then she called Motels countdown song Remember the "Night" 3. Alan peaked Stay With Me Tonight at #18, but it was stalling right here at #30 4. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said there were 4 from Osbourne's countdown album. but there were only three Hot 100 entries. Then Nina said Shannon was a one hit wonder but she registered a couple more near top 40 misses. 5. Alan said countdown Time Will Reveal was Debrage's biggest to that point before they got the 'Rhythm. That peaked at #18 or a slot lower than All This Love. 6. Mark called Chris Cross' countdown song Thinking of Laura. Then Alan said Pink Houses was JM but he still was billed by Cougar at that point. 7. Mark held Richie at #9, really 9-10. 8. Alan said countdown I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues was the first since 1975 with the classic Elt lineup... that was actually I'm Still Standing

After a well deserved week off I return hoping to find VJs NYs resolution is fewer flubs:
1. Starting off "1/4/80' was Nina in her weekly content screw up saying countdown year 1980 was when Sally became an astronaut. But we didn't actually Ride Sally Ride into space until 1983. 2. OMG, Mark said M was "Rick" Scott! 3. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan had a Breakdown saying Petty's 'Torpedos produced his first. 4. Alan said Jefferson Starship's other biggie was We Built This City.... of course by that time they were being billed as just Starship. 5. Alan said countdown We Don't Talk Anymore was Cliff's biggest but his Devil Woman peaked one slot higher. 6. Mark said Escape was the first #1 of the 80s?? This is the first chart of the 80s as they have told us several times and Rupert is at #2?!?

Will there be an extra next week for David Soul who died 1/4/23? His song was from 1976. Will they schedule shows based on such events? 1977 reaching #1 4/16

For those keeping score at home Casey lite played #21 Conga in the #23 spot, before the real #23 Friend of Mine. Go Home at #22 then straight to Wham's 'Man at #20

Lot of flubs so far especially considering Error Hunter isn't even there to help out.
Nina dropped Starship nine, really 26-15. Then she said Walk was the 4th single, really 2nd from Brothers In Arms after Dire's 'Money.

This week we go back to "12/17/82"
1. They played the studio version of I Do instead of the live hit version. 2. Alan peaked By My Lady at #26, really right here at #28 from the album Winds of 'Chance' 3. Alan said Clash was headed to the top.... #8?? 4. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Barry, Robin and Maurice "Gibbs" wrote Heartbreaker. And can someone tell Nina it's spelled Maurice but pronounced Morris. 5. At least MAW got tagged, incorrectly as 1981. Their fellow Aussie's Little River Band just showed as #21 the entire time. 6. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said countdown Mickey was it, but Toni Basil had a couple other Hot 100 entries.

The 1983 show: They are playing a live version of Karma Chameleon! Uptown girl was an ode to the four seasons not the four tops In addition to these: 3. Mark said Roberta and Peabo were headed to #16; they had already Celebrated there and were pausing on the way off the chart. Then he said countdown Time Will Reveal was Debrage's biggest before they got the Rhythm. That peaked at #18 or a slot lower than All This Love. 4. In their ever changing definition of a hit Alan said countdown 'Stride was Wilder's only biggie ignoring his top 40 'Kid even though earlier he said Romantics first hit was What I Like About You which never made the top 40 5. Alan said Twist Of Fate was a title cut, even though the John Travolta and ONJ movie was actually called Two Of A Kind, OMG! 6. Mark peaked Uptown Girl at #3 for four, really five weeks.

they were all double-sided hits, so I don't see those as SXM playing the "wrong" song. Also, as LVK said, "Something About the Way..." was the a-side that week. But you oughta know was a hit in the summer of 95 but wasn't a single. When they released you learn in 96 YOK was the B side. They should only play You Learn as that was the dominant hit by that point in the summer of 96. Also looking at billboard now Candle in the wind is the A side well into 98 The Oct 25, 1997 issue of Billboard pg 97 explains why SATWYLT would be listed first starting with the next panel. That did indeed happen and was explained Nov 1st on page 101 as Something was bulleted on the airplay chart 30-36 while 'Candle was flickering 45-32. Something would peak at #18 on the Nov 29th airplay chart.

Observations: 12/6/86 gets played for the fifth time. Four of those were in the last six years. Last week was a repeat chart from last year, and next week will be as well. How original. For the fourth straight week, 90s on 9 features the same year as the corresponding week in 2022. At least this one was a different chart. But it's too much of a coincidence to not be intentional. I can hardly wait to see how long this pattern keeps up. Also, the #1 song played on the 1997 countdown was "Something About The Way You Look Tonight." Of course, this was the B side to the actual song that was #1 on the Hot 100. That didn't stop Julie Brown from claiming that we undoubtedly remember all the words to the song given that it was #1 for 10 weeks (it was actually 14 weeks). Really, Julie? Do you remember the song that well, because I'm betting virtually nobody was singing along... Something About The Way You Look Tonight was the #1 song. It was listed that way in Billboard as it was receiving far more airplay than Elt's 'Candle at this point.

This '12/5/1986' has been done like 50 times, did practice make perfect?
1. Alan said Three Hearts was Daryl's 3rd solo record. It was his second after Sacred Songs. 2. Speaking of Foolish Pride, Nina said the artist was Dan Hill.... OMG! 3. Alan said Human League was trying to recapture the magic of 1981s Don't You Want Me.... it charted Spring/Summer 82.

1. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Milsap had 40 country #1s, really 35 for Ronnie 2. Mark said countdown My Girl was 'Tops first single since leaving Motown. They had a decade of hits on ABC. 3. The display has Steal the Night artist listed as 'Steve' Woods. 4. Mark correctly dated the 10/17 and 12/19 charts for Rockin' Rod's 'Turks but they continue to refer to this one as '11/27/81'?? 5. Alan said Foreigner's 'Girl was kept from the top by ONJ. For the first nine, but the tenth they were denied by the guys I Can't Go For That.

no Mark, "(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me" was not re-released as it was originally mixed, the hit version was still the remix (y'know, the remix YOU JUST PLAYED). Also, "Knocked Out" wasn't the third straight #1 hit in that group & to try & deceive us like that is just "Cold Hearted". There were more gems: 2. Mark Goofman said Expose had their 9th straight top tenner, really 6th. Then he said Gloria's 'Feet was the first single from her album. Really the 2nd from Cuts Both Ways 3. In her weekly chart screw up Nina placed Phil Collins at #12, really #22. Then she ^ Ronstadt w/ Aaron Neville four, really 12-18 for Don't Know Much

No Mark Goofman for "11/9/84"
1. In her weekly content screw up Nina said War Song would be Boy George Club's seventh top fiver, really peaked @ #17. They would have a total of 4 top fivers. 2. Alan said countdown Lucky Star was intended to kick off Madonna but ended up being the 3rd release after Everybody and Holiday... Borderline? Then he said it was the "B" side of Holiday but that was I Know It. 3. They closed the show w/ the 1989 intro??

The only thing scary about this '10/31/80' show was these flubs:
1. Mark called Jimmy Hall's countdown song... I'm Happy Love Has Found You. Then he told the story of Willie but never identified Honeysuckle Rose as the film countdown On the Road Again was from. 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Wiz Stephanie Mills would have numerous big songs on the radio during this period of which countdown Never Knew Love was the biggest. But she only hit the top 40 twice more; and one of those just barely, #40 for two weeks w/TP 3. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Air Supply was a duo, but that came later. They were a five member group back in 1980. 4. OMG, they played the studio version of Dreamer made worse by Mark saying it was the live hit.

no Mark, two different songs with the same title back-to-back isn't a Big 40 first considering you've played this exact chart before (it especially doesn't count since YOU PLAYED CHEAP TRICK'S SONG TWICE lmfao) Take a well deserved week off to come back and find Casey lite a mess. In addition to above: 2. Don't Worry, in her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped 'Happy nine, really 17-6. Then she peaked How Can I Fall at #2 really three, saying it was Breathe's breakthrough. That would be their real #2 Hands To Heaven. 3. Mark placed Freebird in 1973; Leonard Skinner first charted late 1974. 4. OMG, Alan called Rockin' Rod's countdown album Out of Control. Then he said Beach Boys were back after 20 years.... their last top 40 w/Fat Boys was in 1987. 5. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said countdown 'Love You was Tay Dayne's first biggie; she had two prior top tenners. 6. Alan said 1967 but Neil drank Red Red Wine in 1968. Then in her weekly content screw up Nina said Mindbenders were Groovy in 1965, really 1966

No Mark Goofman this week... errors should be way down.
1. In her weekly chart screw up Toni Basil was dropped eleven, Hey Nina it climbed 39-48 2. Alan said this was 1983, then he peaked Sweet Time at #28 really #26 3. Nina called her Evelyn Champagne King but at this point the bubbly was gone. Then in Shame she said 1974, really 1978 for her first biggie 4. The display listed him as MMM, but he was still being billed as Michael Murphey at this point 5. Alan said countdown Who Can It Be Now was Men's biggest, really Down Under 6. Nina said 'Sorry was a twelve week top fiver, really 11 for Chicago

Casey lite actually ID'd the 10/1/83 chart correctly, no Nina Blunderwood, errors should be way down Isn't this like the third time she's missed 83 recently? I don't ask why Nina is gone, I just enjoy the fewer flubs. 1. Mark said countdown Lawyers was Browne's last top 20; of course he got there again as a 'Friend of Clarence Clemons. Then he slotted All Night Long at #23 before correctly re-placing Lionel @ #28 later in the intro. 2. Alan said Cold Heart by Elt & Dua Lipa came out last year, really 2021 3. Mark said Sweet Dreams was Eurythmics 4th album single; really the first US. Then he peaked at #2, really a chart topper. Then he said it was top fiver for six, really 7 weeks. 4. Mark held King of Pain at #6, really 6-11

1. Alan said HL was #1 in 1981 with Don't You Want Me... really 1982. Then in their ever changing definition of a hit, he said Running Scared had 'em by New Edition and Patti LaBelle. Those never made the Hot 100 but he omitted a Kim Wilde near top 40 miss. 2. Mark peaked Point in November, really the 10/11 panel for Nu Shooz. Then he said All Cried Out was a Summer smash; it peaked at #8 on the 10/25 chart.... 3. OMG, Alan said Twist and Shout was a Blue Notes classic.... the group was Top Notes and it was Isley Bros version that was the first hit. 4. Mark said Typical Male got stuck behind #1 Cyndi Lauper for three weeks; that would be kinda hard since True Colors was only #1 for two. The other was actually Jan Jackson. 5. Alan said Walk This Way introduced Aerosmith, they had already been introduced with Sweet Emotion and Dream On 6. Mark said Friends and Lovers was released after the Both To Each Other version by Juice and Eddie. The latter actually first charted 7/12 or a week after Carl and Gloria.

1. In her weekly content screwup Nina started the '9/18/81' show by saying I'm In Love was Evelyn Champagne King but as Gary Owens told us on the real thing filling in for Casey, at this point she was no longer being billed by the bubbly. 2. Strange version of Breakup Song, ouch, not the hit. 3. Mark said Cool Love would peak in a couple weeks; it had already topped off at #13 4. Mark said the 'Sisters were destined to get to stuck at #2 which would be behind the same #1 as this countdown. Slow Hand had already had its destiny fulfilled and was headed down the chart

1989 is back...so soon?
1. Alan placed Romantics What I Like in 1979; charted on Hot 100 in 1980. 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped Eddie Murphy six, really 35-27. Then she said Sacred Emotion fell sixteen, really 28-16 and Donald Clark Osmond's countdown album had four charters... three tunes cracked the Hot 100 3. Alan said Surface was Showering the countdown with their biggest hit, but the reached #1 for The First Time later on 4. After Mark said countdown Don't Wanna Lose You was Gloria's first solo #1, Alan said it was co-written by Gloria and Emilio was their 2nd chart topper? Both this and prior MSS #1 Anything For You were Gloria solo writes.
