Ryan hasn't started his Year-end Hot AC countdown yet? What is it, a one-week show? The Pop show would have to be two parts, I would think.

[Hervard]

They might be doing only a Top 40 or Top 50 for the year-end countdown, since there are simply too many songs in the 51-100 zone that are obscure songs and we can't have that, now can we?

I guess not.

So KelownaGuy20, did Ryan mention the countdown coming up next week? If so, what did he say it was going to be?

[KelownaGuy20]

He said that they'd be counting down the Top 40 songs of 2005...

Can somebody help me find a station that I can listen to this countdown on? I live in Portland, Oregon, and my local hot AC station plays some "Fox All Acess" thing, which isn't as good.

[Hervard]

You mentioned Fox All Access. Did you listen to that this week? Was it a regular show of random Hot AC music, or did they do a special holiday edition? The station that I catch the show on did not run it this weekend. They played Christmas music instead.

[wunderkind]

I rarely listen to Fox All Access, actually. Is it a countdown?! I'm just not that interested in it. They probably did play it though, because my station wasn't playing Christmas music.

[KelownaGuy20]

I'm honestly surprised that AT40 didn't have some kind of holiday special, especially airing on Christmas Eve/Day.

As a result, we ended up not airing the program in favor of a couple of holiday specials, including the Canadian Top 20 Christmas special (which kicked ass, by the way).

Glad that Ryan played Enya. Was it the AC version or the remix?

It was the remix. Which makes Enya even harder to listen to.

Fox All Access is not a countdown. It's just two hours of random Hot AC music. I like listening to it, though, and using the current Hot AC chart to check off which songs they play.
