Obviously we all listen to a fair number of weekend countdowns every weekend. Out of the main Hot AC countdowns, which is your favorite? Obviously, with shows like Dees and Seacrest, remember that we are talking about the Hot AC versions.

Definitely AT20. Nobody, but nobody, can hold a candle to Casey "Countdown King" Kasem!
My only complaint about AT20 is the flashbacks. There are a little too many of them, and they aren't played in accordance with what was popular X-number of years ago this week.

See, that is what I love about AT20, the extras and flashback hits. Given the nature of the Hot AC chart, I feel it is what truly makes AT20 a fresh show to listen to each week.
If I could change one thing about AT20, I would eliminate the formal "extras" and make all of the older songs the flashbacks. Then, I would take the three teases/longer stories from the extras and have them be stories for current countdown songs.

AT20 by a mile! My only complaint about AT20 is the flashbacks. There are a little too many of them, and they aren't played in accordance with what was popular X-number of years ago this week. There used to only be 7 flashback songs until Clear Channel started doing the optional segments in 2005. Personally, I'd much rather hear 3 oldies than commericials - which is what those extra 9 minutes used to fill. And lately, Casey's been really good about playing songs that were on the chart from this week back in whatever year. It's just that he rarely mentions "this week." |

And don't forget, they used to read three LDD's per week, and now it's just one, which I prefer. The LDD's are good and all, but one an hour was definately overkill.

I don't listen to any of them that much, though I have heard AT20 a few times and liked it.

Yes it is. It is a 2 hour Top 15 (if Im not mistaken) countdown hosted by Chris Leary for CHR and Hot AC.

I've never lived in any market which aired any Hot AC countdown shows (and I've lived in four states)

Chris 'Learjet' Leary, the ex-KIIS/LA air personality, has a countdown show?
Who knew?

Undoubtedly AT20. It's the only one I listen to on a regular basis... many reasons why, but the main ones are Casey Kasem, and the mix of older songs with the current top 20.
