Catch up from the last couple weeks 1984:
1. Alan called Sergio Mendes' countdown song 'Alibi' 2. OMG, Alan said Elt's Sad Songs was the last song from the 'movie' Breaking Hearts...??
Alan was on vacation, so the 1988 show moved much faster and fewer errors:
1. Nina called Bee Gee Maurice. It's pronounced Morris. Then she called Expose Producer Lewis 'Martinez', his name is Martinee'. 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said Cold Hearted was the 5th smash single from 'Girl. It would be Paula's 3rd chart topper, but the two before that never even made the top 40.

Knocked Out made it to 41. (It's Just) The Way That You Love Me made it to #3. Actually, you are wrong. 'Love Me reached #88. It didn't make #3 until being rereleased after Cold Hearted. Now on to this week's flubs: 1. Alan was back and peaked Out of Work at #10. Gary US Bonds was topping off on this chart at #21. 2. Abracadabra, another error by Alan. He said Steve Miller Band was #1 for two 'consecutive' weeks. It went to #1, let Chicago take the top for 2 panels, then returned to #1

1. In her weekly chart screw up, Nina placed Cry at #39, really #35. She also referred to the singer of Lonely Ol' Night as JM when he was still being billed as John Cougar Mellencamp during this period. 2. Alan said Bosser had the record w/seven top tenners from BITUSA. Of course he tied Thriller. Then he said Rhythm of the Night was Debarge's first release?? They had had several top 40s before that. 3. Mark said Pop Life was holding on at #18. PR Nelson was really ^ there from #24

1. In her weekly content screw up, Nina said 'Scenes was Range's 3rd album. It was the 2nd for Bruce. Then in her weekly chart screw up, Nina dropped Marx eleven. 'Nights really fell 30-21. 2. Mark dated Elvis' Don't Be Cruel as 1961. It charted 1956. Alan then placed it in 1954?! 3. Alan said Power of Love was from 1982; really 1985 for HLATN

First of all some clean up from last week:
1. Alan said Sweet Love was Baker's biggest. Maybe but Anita's 'Best reached #3. 2. Daryl's only solo #1 is from Three Hearts according to Mark??
Now onto this week's 1980 mess:
1. Alan started the show calling Elt's album 21 "To" 33. Then he said countdown 'Keep Your Love was the first release from Jermaine's Let's Get Serious. Of course that would be the title cut. 2. OMG, Casey lite played the 1989 remake version of Into The Night!! 3. Mark called Stephanie Mills countdown song 'I've Never Known Love Like This Before' after calling the act of Who'll Be the Fool Tonight the Larsen-Fightin' Band 4. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Drivin' started Rabbitt's crossover success. Eddie had already had several Hot 100s including two top 40s.

A rough night for Alan:
1. He started with a Mistake saying this week's countdown song was the 3rd single from Cargo. It was the 2nd for Men At Work. 2. He must have been Delirious saying the first two releases from 1999 were 'Corvette and the countdown song. Of course the first single was the title cut. 3. A couple in the OMG category, he called Sly's bro Frankie (Survivor) Sullivan!! Then he said Human Nature was written by Steve Lukather. Sorry Alan wrong Toto Steve (Porcaro).

1. In her weekly chart screw up, Nina dropped LL Cool J twenty five, really 33-18 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit Alan included Time Will Crawl among the biggies from Bowie's album. It never reached the Hot 100. But he never mentioned Variety Tonight as a hit from REOs release, even though that one did crack the Hot 100. 3. Alan peaked 'Rumour at #4 this week. Bananarama actually peaked there in the prior panel and would spend three weeks at that position. At least Nina correctly pointed this out.

Casey lite has traditionally struggled w/this year. Was 10/10/81 any different?
1. This is a new one; going into Casey lite SXM 80s played Cruel To Be Kind from Summer '79? 2. Oh No! After a vintage early 80s 'good bad ugly mixed bag' comment by Alan the display for Commodores was tagged 82. The display issues continued... They showed 'Alan Hunter VJ Big 40 1981' all the way through General Hospi-tale 3. It must be funky version night; What Atlanta Lady is this? Definitely not the hit. Say Goodbye To Hollywood was not live hit from Billy's Attic. 4. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Slow Hand was 'Sisters first top tenner? What about Pointer's Fire? He's So Shy?? 5. Nina called Al's countdown song We're In This Love 'Forever' 6. Mark said the Red Rocker congratulated Dr. Noah Drake when he took Hagar's 'Everything For You to the top. Rick really topped out at #8. 7. Alan said this chart is from Oct 9, 1981? 8. OMG, Alan said Private Eyes was the guys first #1 since Rich Girl and She's Gone (#7) What about Kiss On My List!?

But wait there is more...
9. Alan said General Hospi-tale was from the 'band' Afternoon Delights. They were just a short lived studio collaboration of musicians. 10. OMG, Alan said ONJ would Physical H&O from the top only to see the guys return the favor six weeks later with I Can't Go For That. Of course Livvy would spend a Casey era record tying 10 weeks at #1.

It's ironic that next to 1981, it seems the year Casey lite struggles with the most is 1989 and those have been featured in back to back weeks:
1. Mark said Dino's 1987's Summergirls was from 1987. It first charted 7/88. Then Alan Blew My Mind, peaking New Kids at #10, really #8. 2. Mark said Cannibals were headed to #11. They had been there and done that and weren't Looking Back on their way off the chart. 3. Alan said Healing Hands was Elt's fist solo UK #1. Kinda, it was the flip to his real UK hit, Sacrifice 4. Alan peaked When I 'Look' At Him at #5, but Expose really Looked At #10. 5. Nina called Paula Abdul's countdown song (It's Just) "The Way You Love Me" 6. Alan said One brought BeeGees back to the charts with their last biggie in 1979. They had been on the charts with He's A Liar and Woman in You among others. Then he said countdown 'Time was Cher's major comeback hit. What about her two tenners and others in the two years preceding?

Let's see how this 10/23/82 went:
1. Nina started by saying this was the "Oct 22nd" chart. Then in her weekly content screw up she said countdown The One You Love was the first single from Frey's album. That would be I Found Somebody. This was after calling Love Come Down artist Evelyn 'Champagne' King. At this point the bubbly bottle was empty and wouldn't be refilled for a few years. 2. Mark said Young Love was anchored at #38. That wouldn't happen until the 10/30/82 panel; on the "Oct 22nd" Hot 100 air Supply has a superstar bullet. 3. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said countdown You Don't Want Me Anymore was the only hit for 'Chrysalis' act Steel Breeze. But the RCA act of the same name also had Dreamin' Is Easy 4. The display read Michael Martin Murphey. The 3rd M wasn't added until 1984. At least Mark did a correct artist ID.

OMG instead of #40 Strung Out they played Captured By the Moment! The other 10/27/84 flubs:
1. You knew things weren't gonna start well when Alan proclaimed this the "Oct 26th" chart. A VJ Making Mistakes (Isn't A Temporary Thing) as Mark said even though this was their only chart entry Romeo Void shouldn't be considered a 1 hit wonder without clarifying his remark? 2. In her weekly chart screw up, Nina moved Survivor ^6. I Can't Hold Back really climbed 32-36

1. In her weekly chart screw up, Nina dropped 'Happy 15, Bobby really fell 29-24 2. Nina ^ Look Away five, really 17-23. Then in their ever changing definition of a hit, she said countdown Another Lover was the only one for 'Steps. The followup was a mid Hot 100 entry. 3. Alan called Breathe's song 'Hands To Heart'. OMG! Then he said they came outta the box with Don't Lies Me Lies, which was really their 3rd US top tenner. 4. Alan said Never Tear Us Apart was INXS' biggest KICK from their countdown album. That would actually be the #1 Need You Tonight. 5. Mark said Loco-Motion was Kylie's first single?! I Should Be So Lucky?? Then he placed Mindbenders 'Love in 1965. They really got Groovy in 1966.

1. Mark said Elt did better in the UK (#22) than US (#20)?? Wrap Her Up did do better across the pond because the real top off was #12. 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped Sunset Grill six, really 33-25 3. Mark broke Whitney thru w/countdown Saving All My Love.... #3 You Give Good Love??

1. After a couple vintage good, bad and ugly comments Mark called Kool's hit 'Celebrate'. Then in their every changing definition of a hit, Nina said this was the only time Nielsen/Pearson would 'Sail but they did have another mid chart entry. 2. Jimmy Hall...country?? Then Mark said Dreaming was a co-write w/Leo Sayer? Sir Cliff didn't take part in the writing. 3. OMG, Alan almost made a historic blunder, saying Guilty was duet between Babs and Robin Gibb before correcting himself. 4. Alan peaked 'Dust at #1 for 4 weeks, even though Mark correctly introed three weeks at the top for Queen. 5. Alan said Don Williams appeared in a film called W.W. and the Dixie "Darlings"; it was actually Dancekings. 6. They played the 1975 Dreamer studio flip, not the 1980 live hit version even after Mark said otherwise.

Did Casey lite give us a Tgiving break or extra helpings of 11/26/83 errors?
1. Alan said Debarge was on a 1982 roll coming off of I Like It. 'It charted 2/83 and countdown Time Will Reveal was really the successor to All This Love. 2. In her weekly content screw up, Nina said Elt's Too Low For Zero was his first album in a few years to have chart hits? Nobody Wins? Empty Garden? Then, OMG, she called the the co-writer of Elt's 'Blues Davy "Jones"! 3. Mark said Undercover was Stoners first album of all new songs in the 80s?? Tattoo You? Emotional Rescue?? 4. Say It Isn't So, Alan peaked the guys at #2 for two weeks, but H&O were there for four. 5. Nina said they were using the Nov "25" 1983 chart? Then she said Kenny pulled in Dolly. Of course in a classic story, it was Barry Gibb that came up with the idea of saving Islands In the Stream by making it a duet so he sent out the SOS to Dolly who really didn't know Kenny well at the time.

1. Alan placed William Bell's 'Lover in 1968. It charted 1969. Then he said Billy was looking for another remake after the success of 81s Mony. Of course the real hit version of that wasn't until 1987. 2. Mark said Someday was the 3rd single from Glass Tiger's album... really the 2nd. Then in her weekly content screw up, Nina placed Don't You Want Me in 1981, really 1982 for HL. 3. OMG, they played the 2020 Covid era remake of Wang Chung's 'Fun... since Mark never ID'd it was such, it had to be a pure flub. All I can say is OMG! 4. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said Word Up was the first for Cameo. Of course they previously had a 'Strange near top 40 miss. 5. Alan said until that point Amy Grant was only religious. She had already Found A Way to make the pop top 40 in 1985.

1. On the display for Hand To Hold On To, they have the artist listed as John Mellencamp. Of course at this point he was still being billed as John Cougar. Mark incorrectly said he was known at the time as JCM. 2. From the haven't we had this error before file After Down Under was listed as 1981. Then Alan called Bee Gee Maurice. It's pronounced Morris. 3. Alan said Rock This Town first charted in US in Jun 82. It entered the Hot 100 9/18/82 for the 'Cats. 4. Alan said the guys #1 stay would be for 4 non consecutive weeks, but H&Os Maneater run was uninterrupted. 5. In her weekly chart screw up Nina placed Gloria #3, really #2.

Allen Hunter thought the Whitesnake song at #39 was the song stuck behind George Michael's Faith at #1? Then he said Faith should be coming up in the countdown?? That was 1987, not 1989!

Has to be one of the biggest gaffes in the show’s history. AH of course was referring to “Is This Love?”, which as you already said, was released two years earlier.

Good catch other flubs: 1. Where did they get that copy of Orion? It sounded like a bad cassingle bought at a garage sale. 2. In her weekly chart screw up, Nina Shut Kevin Paige 17 notches, really 35-19 3. The display had Skid Row labeled 88, when Remember wouldn't peak until 1990 4. In their ever changing definition of a hit Young M.C. was labeled a one hit wonder. It's the Principal's Office for Mark as followup was #49 and climbing toward the top 40 on this chart. 5. Alan said after Abdul's single version flopped, the album cut of The Way That You Love Me became the hit... wrong, same 45, same catalog number for both charted entries 6. I Don't Know Much but I do know you don't start in the middle of the song?!

But wait there was more from 1989:
7. Nina incorrectly placed original How Am I Supposed To Live in 1982. It charted in 1983 for Branigan. Then she said it was at #26, really #16 for Bolton. 8. If I Could Turn Back Time I'd fix Nina's weekly content screw up saying Diane Warren had five songs on Cher's album, really six.
Now on to the Xmas Eve mess.
1. Nina said Eddie Money was the biggest movie star in 1984?? 2. Casey lite played the original Bruce Springfield version not the 1984 punched up hit remix. 3. In their ever changing definition of a hit Alan said Survivor was coming off of a biggie, Moment of Truth from KK. It only had a moment on the charts peaking at #63. 4. In her weekly chart screw up, Nina said Chicago ^7, really 15-23 5. A Valotte of mistakes this week as Alan peaked Julian at #4, really #9.

1. Alan said previous smash 'Sheila set Ready For The World up for countdown Love You Down. I guess actual prior charter Digital Display doesn't meet their ever changing smash criteria this week. 2. Didn't Alan Break Every Rule saying Two People was the 3rd single from Tina's album? Really the 2nd. 3. Alan peaked 'Lover at #1, really #6 for Idol. Then he placed the original in the great year of 1968, problem is he was one off as it charted 1969. 4. In her weekly content screw up, Nina called Glass Tiger's hit Somebody 5. Alan placed Stand By Me in 1960, really charted 1961. Then he said The Way It Is was the debut for Bruce but Hornsby had already had a minor chart 'Kiss.

1. In a repeat flub Casey lite once again played the original Bruce Springfield version not the 1984 punched up hit remix. 2. Mark said Elt's album had five singles of which countdown In Neon was the 4th. It was actually the 3rd and last single from Breaking Hearts. 3. Alan said Midnight Star was off their #18 peak, it hadn't gotten there yet. This was the first week in the top 40 for Operator. 4. I Would Die 4 an error free show as Mark said 'U was the final Purple Rain single. But Prince would Take Me With U as the 'Rain finale. 5. Alan peaked 'Drippers at #2, really three for Sea of Love.

Let's see how things went for 1/22/83:
1. Alan said Space Age Love Song was the 4th single from the 'Flocks album. It was the 3rd if you count the non Hot 100 Telecommunication 2. Casey lite hit the trifecta playing the wrong version (studio), wrong album (Monkey Island) and wrong decade (1970s) I Do. OMG!! 3. In their ever changing definition of a hit Alan said Basil had only one, not giving Toni credit for two other Hot 100 entries. 4. Using the "January 26, 1983" chart at least Nina got John Cougar correct as he was billed in the display as JM. Then in her weekly chart screw up she placed Look of Love at #19 (really eighteen). 5. Down Under is displayed as 81, haven't we had this error before??

1. In their ever changing definition of a hit Alan credited Have You Ever Loved Somebody to Freddie J even though it would climb no higher than #69. 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped The Seen nine, really 35-24 for Everybody Dance. Then she placed Talk To Me at #7, really #4 for Stevie. 3. Alan peaked Friend of Mine at #7, really #18 for the Bosser's sax player w/friend JB. 4. Walk of Life the 'B' side of So Far Away?? With Alan this countdown is in Dire Straits! WOL b/w One World was issued on Warner 28878 and So Far Away b/w If I Had You Warner 28789. 5. Alan said Richie was 'sitting in the wings' but Say You Say Me had already dropped from the top. 6. Mark called Survivor lead singer Jimmy 'James'

1. After a vintage 6 months 'til MTV reference, OMG, Nina starts by saying the Las Vegas Raiders won the championship. Of course they were the Oakland Raiders. The LV Raiders wouldn't exist for another 40 years! 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina placed MSB at #3, really #33 for He Can't Love You 3. Alan isn't Telling It Like It Is. He said Monkees kept Aaron Neville from having a 1966 number one. I'm Not A Believer because Aaron didn't get up to the runner up spot for its only week there until 1/28/67. 4. In her weekly content screw up Nina called Killin' Time artist "Frank" Knoblock. Then she said Barry Manimellow made it in the Songwriters HOF in 1980, really 2002 5. When All Is Said and Done, ABBA would score another top 40, 'Winner was not their last as proclaimed by Alan.
