Sirius' flashback countdowns (New 90s countdown)

[areyoureadytojump]

^Sorry. I was confusing AT40 this week with Sirius!

[Michael1973]

The 1990 chart was a rare "new" chart for them. And since that was not the expected year for this week, I think we can all expect a return to exact repeats from 2020 next week...

The poll is open for the 60s’ Top 40 Transistor-Era Holiday Hits countdown airing on Christmas Eve! blog.siriusxm.com/60s-gold-poll-holiday/

They could go with 1988 the weekend of 12/23, which is the most overdue, or they could throw another curveball and do 1980. The latter would yield a new chart (either 12/20/80 or 12/27/80). That also means they could wait until the new year to do January 1988, which is rarely ever done (1/9/88 in 2021).

[grizmeister]

Going with the way it went the past years 80s on 8 has done a special for new years.

[johnm1120]

That means no #1 this week on 90s.

[nicky317]

They went with December 21 1985. December 14th would have been made much more sense and has not gotten attention on here. I’m not sure why they keep going with the 5 days as opposed to the closer 2 days. Same can be said for Nov 17 1984 instead of Nov 10 1984. I really hope this weird pattern or glitch or whatever ends by next year.

[grizmeister]

Next week, it'll be all about 1988!

That means we won't get a January 1988 chart

I think we played all the available charts for December 1988.

I would be surprised if the 80s does not air a special the next weekend.

Unfortunately, unlike R. Kelly, ClownYe actually had a few #1s during the 2000s decade. Makes me wonder how they're gonna deal with those, I think inserting a song from just below the top 30 in that case would be 10x more weird and awkward than it already is...

[johnm1120]

Twice DTJB mistakenly called "Take Me There" a solo Mase song. This is the first I'm seeing of a Kanye blackball. I wonder if other Sirius channels are taking the same stance.

[grizmeister]

Why are they now blocking Kanye West?
