Sirius' flashback countdowns (New 90s countdown)

[friday]

This week it was 1982. Two things jumped out at me from this chart: a) the three consecutive references to three different continents in songs 31-29 and b) the extraordinary amount of upward movement occurring on this chart, including a rare 7-1 jump.

This week they did 1988. A bit of a hiccup on Friday's broadcast as the segments with "Holding On" and Will to Power were somehow omitted, and the songs were only mentioned on the backsells that followed them. However, they rectified it on subsequent replays.

This week it was 1989. Since Cashbox customarily froze its charts for the first two weeks of the year during the 80's, this chart was actually based on the December 31, 1988 chart. I noticed none of the VJs mentioned any specific chart movements ("up 4 spots this week," "down 6 to number 18," etc.) like they normally do.

This week they did 1986. An editing snafu caused them to announce both #2 and #1 as "Say You, Say Me." I assume the #1 introduction came from the Christmas weekend episode when they did 1985?

Did that actually played that Greg Lake song at #40 or was it another song they played?

Yes, they definitely played it. I tuned in to the show as it was playing, and that was what was ID'ed on my receiver.

This week it was 1987. For the first time that I can recall, they did not use Cashbox or Billboard for the chart. Instead they used the ARC Weekly Top 40, which previously had only been used for some of the 90's countdowns that aired on The Pulse in 2008. This is also the third consecutive year a chart from February 7, 1987 has been featured on 80's on 8 (the AT40 episode from that date was played 2 years ago); that explains why they didn't use that week's Cashbox chart, but why they simply didn't just use the January 31 chart instead is anyone's guess.
