Casey made two goofs on the 10/30/2004 edition of American Top 20. And while I admit that everyone's entitled to an occasional mistake, one of these bugged me more than the other.
First, he played "I'm Like A Bird" as "one of the hottest hits 3 years ago this week". By this time in 2001, that song had long since fallen off the chart.
He also identified "World On Fire" as Sarah's 6th hit on the Hot AC chart. Not only has she had more than 6, but he actually identified it as her 10th hit the week it debuted!

Well, the Sarah mistake was obviously wrong.
But the Nelly Furtado comment - well, I'm Like A Bird was one of the hottest Hot AC songs for 2001. Perhaps that is what he meant.

Casey's script also had more errors. In one segment in the final hour, he states that the #1 song a year ago was "Why Don't You & I" by Santana. In the very next segment, he plays "Calling All Angels" by Train and states that the song was #1 a year ago this week. Oops! (Santana was indeed the correct one).

There's a difference between the #1 song of the year, and the #1 song a year ago Casey's script also had more errors. In one segment in the final hour, he states that the #1 song a year ago was "Why Don't You & I" by Santana. In the very next segment, he plays "Calling All Angels" by Train and states that the song was #1 a year ago this week. Oops! (Santana was indeed the correct one). |

Sounds like a bunch of lazy statisticians to me. Instead of being exact, they lazily put together some facts and anyone who follows it closely will see the errors.
