OMG, Casey lite played Elt's GYBR 70s studio 'Candle, not the Melbourne live hit version! Let's look at the lengthy list of other boo boos.
1. Alan said Make It Real would become Jets first A/C #1 for 4 weeks, really three. Of course Jets had been to the top before w/You Got It All 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina ^ Cher five. I Found Someone really moved 19-26 3. Alan said I Live For Your Love was Cole's 2nd biggest next to #1 Miss You Like Crazy. That latter reached #7 and Natalie had four other top tenners all bigger than her countdown song. 4. Mark called Pat Swayze's song Ride Like The Wind... OMG! Then he said Carmen's countdown 'Eyes would be his biggest.... All By Myself? Make Me Lose Control??

1. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped Foreigner seventeen, really 36-9 for 'Girl. 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said Skyy had three. He had to dig deep and pull a #102 Bubbled Under to get to that number. 3. Alan said Tanya had a version of the 'Sisters Should I Do It the same year. But Tuck reached #50 on the country chart in Summer 81. Then he called Juice's band the Silver "Spurs" 4. After a vintage good bad ugly comment Alan said Go Gos debut was the 'Beat, but their lips had already been sealed. Then Nina ^ the same 'Beat six, but the real move was 24-31

With Gaffe Goodman on vaca, Martha Quinn returned but did it make a difference?
1. In her weekly content screw up Nina said the countdown year 1980 was when Sally Ride became an astronaut. Ride Sally Ride didn't reach space until 1983. Then she called BeeGees album Spirits 'Have' Flown 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped Eagles eight, really 27-15. 3. After his trademark good bad ugly comment, Alan credited Diamond with a 30th top 40. Sept Morn was Neil's 29th of 37. 4. Martha joined in the action calling Loggins' tune 'IF' This Is It. Then, OMG Martha said Diamond wrote Anne Murray's Monkee remake. Daydream Believer was written by John Stewart. Of course Neil's Monkee contribution was I'm A Believer!

It’s a shame that the Shadoe Stevens 80s AT40 shows aren’t available for broadcast, bcuz the way Nina mispronounced “Roni” and Alan butchered Babyface’s name AGAIN just hurts my soul.
Their blunders usually don’t bother me that much but Jesus Christ…

1. Alan called Babyface Kenneth 'Edwards'. Then he said he didn't think Samantha Fox's Stock Aitken Waterman song was ever released. I Only Wanna Be With You was her next single! 2. Mark held Living Years at #4, really ^ 4-9. Then he said Don't Tell Me Lies was Breathe's US debut. Hands To Heaven? How Can I Fall?? 3. In her weekly content screw up, Nina said 'Girl was the title cut from Milli Vanilli's 2nd album.... they only had one album!

Mark Goodman just said Hall & Oates' Method Of Modern Love went to #1 and it was their last #1. It peaked at #5. Other flubs: 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Jeffery Osborne's first post LTD biggie was #29 On The Wings of Love. I guess actual first top 40 #39 'No Light doesn't qualify as a biggie this week. 3. Nina called 'Rhythm artist El DeBarge, of course at this point they were still be billed as just DeBarge. Then the display for Duran x 2's Save A Prayer showed...1982?

Then the display for Duran x 2's Save A Prayer showed...1982? The original album version of “Save a Prayer”, which they played, came out on “Rio” in 1982 and the song itself was originally released as a single in the UK in ‘82 so that makes sense.

First some catch up from last week's 1983:
1. In her weekly content screw up, Nina called the #26 hit You and "Me". This was after she said Eddie recruited Crystal to do a duet in 1983. Of course by this point, this 1982 tune had already been on the chart for six months. Then she placed Der Kommissar in 1982 when that one didn't chart until Feb 83. 2. In a repeat error Down Under was displayed as 1981, then Mark called Austin/Ingram's number oner... "Come To Me"?!
Now this week's gaffes:
3. Nina called Madonna's countdown song La "Ela" Bonita?? 4. Alan said Finer Things was the 4th of 5 High Life hits. Really 3rd of 4 for Steve Winwood. Then Mark said Tonight x3 was the 5th Invisible Touch single, really 4th. 5. In her weekly content screw up Nina said Foreigner had over a dozen top tenners, the actual number is nine.

1. In her weekly chart screw up Nina placed TT at #15, really #12 for Hold Me Now. Then in her weekly content screw up she referred to the Runner artist as Manfred Mann. Of course by this point they were billed as MM's Earth Band. 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Paul Young's Come Back and Stay was written by the same guy that wrote Blonde's biggie Hanging On The Telephone. The latter never reached the Hot 100. But then he said TT's Hold Me Now was their first real hit even though Lies reached the top 30. 3. Somebody needs to be Watching for these flubs. Alan said Rockwell's countdown song featured labelmate MJ. Of course the Michael's glove now belonged to CBS/Epic, his Motown days ended years earlier.

First some 1986 clean up:
1. Mark placed Nu Schooz 'Wait at #30, really #39 2. In her weekly content screw up Nina said 'Shuffle was a minor one for Bob & Earl in 1963, and a rereleased biggie in 1969 peaking at #7. It's only charting was the original at #44.
Onto 1981. The entire show had Nina Blunderwood's segments tagged Alan and vice versa.
3. Alan said Andy Gibb died from a cocaine addiction. He actually died of myocarditis of which prior cocaine abuse might have been a contributing factor. Then he said said Me was Andy's US final charter. Of course he Dreamed his way onto the Hot 100 a few months later with Vicki Principal. 4. A double ABBA whammy. Alan called their Voyage album by the name of the single I Still Have Faith In You. Then he said countdown 'Winner was their final top 40. When All Is Said And Done they had one more. 5. Alan said Gino Vannelli was an 'Italian Stallion'... Born in Montreal he was more like a Canadian Italian Stallion. 6. Alan peaked 'Loving You at #7, really a number oner for REO. 7. Nina said Morning Train was Sheena's 2nd single. The retitled 9 To 5 was Easton's US debut. Then in her weekly chart screw up she said it went to #1 in the US and UK, but in the UK Morning Train actually stopped at the #3 station.

Born in Montreal he was more like a Canadian Italian Stallion. ”Italian Stallion” refers to handsome men of Italian descent, no matter where they were born and raised. I know you like to exaggerate any flubs or comments the VJs make for whatever reason, but that’s a major reach lol.

1. Mark said Paul Carrack was one of the greatest voices of the 80s, including Roxy Music. Of course he only played keyboards in his short stint w/RM as their real singer is also on this countdown. 2. Alan peaked I Want Her at #1 but Keith really sweated at #5 3. Piano In The Dark was displayed to Brenda Russell only even though the single label also credits Joe Esposito 4. In her weekly chart screw up Nina ^ Naughty Girls five, really 17-23 for SF. Then she said Houston's Hearts was a top tenner after four weeks, really six 5. Mark said countdown Anything For You was Gloria & Miami Sound Machine's "breakthrough"? Conga? Bad Boy??

1. In her weekly content screw up Nina said the countdown year 1980 was when Sally became an astronaut. But we didn't actually Ride Sally Ride into space until 1983. Then in their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Shalamar was taking that to the 'Bank in 78 but they didn't actually get to the bank until 1979 with a low charter. 2. In her weekly chart screw up Nina dropped Him seven but Rupert actually moved 34-21. Then she ^ I Can't Help It nine, really 21-32 for Andy and ONJ. 3. Alan mentioned the 'great band"... Jimmy Ruffin??? Could he be referring to Brother David's Temps??? Then he said Journey started the 80s with countdown Any Way You Want It. He was a couple months Too Late as they already had a minor charter. 4. After a vintage pre MTV comment from Mark, Nina called 'Pilot singer Charlie "Dory" but at least they played the hit correct hit version. Same couldn't be said of Hold On to My Love. 5. Alan included Only Sixteen as one of the hits under The Medicine Show. Of course by that point Dr. Hooker had already dropped TMS moniker.

1. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan included All Night Long, a non Hot 100er among the MJ Girls entries. Then he said countdown Nightshift was the first for Commodores post Lionel but they had already had other post Richie H100 tallies? And #22 Love Really Hurts didn't count as a biggie for Billy as Alan said Ocean's first was his 'Queen. 2. Alan peaked Don't You Forget at #3, really a chart topper for Simple Minds. 3. Mark said countdown Rhythm of the Night was the first biggie for Diane Warren? But she already played top tenner Solitaire w/Branigan.

1. Mark said Finer Things was the 4th single from Steve Winwood's album. It was the 3rd release from Back In The High Life. Then Alan said Lauper took What's Going On to #12 in 1986?? Cyndi would peak in that position the panel before this 1987 countdown. 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said countdown Always was Atlantic Starr's pop breakthrough. What about Secret Lovers and before that they ran Circles around the top 40. Likewise he said Deburgh's 'Lady was his international breakthrough but what about his Ferryman?? 3. Nina called Madonna's song on the countdown La "Ila" Bonita. 4. Oh Fudge, in her weekly content screw up Nina peaked Vanilla in 1967, but they were barely Hanging On to the bottom of the chart. They didn't get to #6 with a rereleased serving of You Keep Me until 1968.

1. After a vintage good, bad, ugly comment Alan said Ronnie's 35th single was a biggie. Stranger was his 32nd country charting single that produced counting "B" sides 38 country entries. As far as total singles by that point, including non charters he had to be pushing 50 as Milsap had been performing years before his commercial success. Then Nina called it Stranger In My Town. 2. Alan said No Time "To" Talk was on the same album that included Arthur's Theme. Of course that soundtrack hit came out long before Chris turned Another Page. 3. Don't call him Al, the display and Mark called the Mornin' singer Al Jarreau. Of course as Casey's told us on the real AT40 this week, at this point he was just Jarreau. 4. Catastrophe narrowly averted as Alan called Always Something There To Remind Me performers Cutting Crew before catching himself and introing them correctly as Naked Eyes. 5. Mark said "later on in the month" GKB would get stuck at #2 behind Beat It. Jeopardy had been stuck but now was free & falling down the chart. 6. In her weekly content screwup Nina said Overkill was the 2nd single from MAW's album. It was really the leadoff single from Cargo.

1. In her weekly chart screw up Nina ^ Tom Petty eight. I Won't Back Down was really moving 32-41. Then she called 38 Special's countdown song Second "Choice' 2. After being incorrectly displayed as JM, Alan said he reverted to using John Cougar Mellencamp for countdown Pop Singer. He had never stopped. He didn't drop Cougar until he got a leg up a couple years later. Then the display of Through the Storm omitted Elt. 3. Alan said when first relapsed Synch's Where Are You Now was featured in Liv and Mattie?? Wasn't that a show from the 10s?? Then Nina upped Satisfied six, when it was really ^ 14-22 4. On this 5/27/89 countdown Alan said Danny Romalotti's Rock On cover came "17 years" after the original, which charted in late 1973..??

I love these recaps (and think the countdowns are just terrible, as are the VJs), but I've never heard of Al Jarreau making any sort of name change to just "Jarreau". Mark is the most tolerable-to-listen-to of the three VJs, so I'd let this one slide.

I've never heard of Al Jarreau making any sort of name change to just "Jarreau". I believe it was just for one album. No idea what prompted him to do it.

1. They played #37 Forget Me Nots in the #39 position 2. Mark said Champlin was the Windy City's lead singer. He sang lead on a few tunes but in 1982 some guy by the name of Cetera still held that position. 3. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Gloria Jones had a 'classic' w/Tainted Love....it never charted. Then in her weekly chart screw up, Nina ^ S&G one when Susie was really waking up in the same position #27 as the prior panel. 4. Alan said Aldo Nova was a classic band from Canada. Then he said Joan Jett covered Mony Mony? She really did a version of Hanky Panky. 5. Mark said Sheena 'Shined on her self titled debut but her countdown song was really from You Could Have Been With Me. 6. Nina said the 80s Australian invasion included Little River Band. Of course they guys from Melbourne established an American beachhead almost a decade earlier. Then Mark called Deniece's countdown song Gonna Take A Miracle. 7. Mark said Pet Shop Boys had a 1987 hit w/ Willie's 'Mind. Their version of Always first charted March 88.

Let's check in with 6/14/86: 1. Alan peaked the Models at #36, really #37 for Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight. Then he called Boy George Club's countdown album Luxury To Heartache, omitting the first title word 2. Mark said countdown 'Johnny would be El's only #1 solo single. It would top off at #3. 3. In her weekly content screw up, Nina said Sad Songs was based upon Ocean's 1984 hit Suddenly. Billy reached #4 with that in mid 85. Then she said 32 was the answer to everything in Hitchhikers Galaxy. But apparently at is really 42, hence the name of the group with countdown Something About You. Maybe those missing ten numbers is the reason this countdown was so screwed up? 4. Nina said On My Own was #1 for June 10, 1986. 5. Alan said album Whitney Houston delivered three top tenners, really four, and came out in 1984 www.billboard.com/music/pop/whitney-houston-1985-debut-album-review-6472861/

Let's catch up on 1981:
1. In her weekly content screw up, Nina peaked Juice's Angel at #5, really #4. Then in her weekly chart screw up Nina said BDE was falling from #1 after nine straight weeks...After five weeks at top, Kim would return there for 4 more starting with the next panel. 2. Alan peaked Sweet Baby at #6, really #19 for Clarke/Duke. Then in their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan included Birdland among MT's total, it did not reach the Hot 100. 3. The display read Dottie and Kenny. But What Are We Doing In Love charted as Dottie solo, notorious for the lack of billing received by the Gambler. Then the intro to Stars On was cut off?! 4. Alan placed Kyu's #1 Sukiyaki in 1961, really 1963.

Mark Goodman just wagered that Lionel Richie’s “Hello” was the only “Hello” song to go #1 on 3 different Billboard charts. Adele’s “Hello” went to #1 on a number of charts, but just counting the genre charts that also existed in ‘84, she made it to #1 Pop, Dance & AC, at least tying Lionel’s total by that standard alone (exceeding it when looking at the other radio charts).

Other gems this week... 2. In a double Elt error, Nina said Sad Songs topped off at #7, really #5 & was one of four Breaking Hearts top 40s, really three came from that disc 3. Alan said Starship hooked up with Producer Ron Nevison and his wife... Ina?? Could he be mixed up with Ina Wolf who cowrote the song with the other Peter Wolf?? Then he said Irene came to Fame with 1983s Flashdance?? 4. OMG, Mark called the leader of Alan Parsons Project "Jeff" Woolfson! 5. Mark said countdown 'Paradise was the least successful of three Footloose singles. The soundtrack had many more than that and Mike & Ann's entry would rank mid pack as far as where they all peaked 6. In other OMG, Nina reintroed Bosser's just played 'Dancing instead of the next song up.. Let's Hear It For The Boy.

She was on Jimmy Jam/ Terry Lewis' Perspective Records who would form a working relationship w/A&M but not until many years after countdown Diamonds.

1. As already mentioned, OMG, they played the 1989 Into The Night re-record 2. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark omitted Ali's near top 40 miss Live Every Minute. Then Alan said countdown Walks Like A Lady was from the same album as 'massive hit' Any Way You Want It. The latter topped off at a modest #23. 3. In a double Elt error Mark held Jeannie at #4, really climbing from #5, from the album 21 at 23
