I really enjoyed the 2004 show since I hadn't heard it since it aired 15 years ago. Some notes:
There were a few stinkers ("Southside," "On Fire," "Sunshine," "I Like That," "Slow Motion," "How Come") but still some enjoyable songs I haven't heard in years ("Broken," "Float On," "On The Way Down," "1985," "Breaking The Habit").
Every song matched up to the published R&R chart except for #24 and #22.
I don't remember "Accidentally In Love" even hitting AT40, but glad it made Rick's chart. It did get to #3 on AT20 (HAC).
The oldest song "Yeah!" was only around for 30 weeks.
It was nice to hear all 5 debuts played by #35. A nice change from today's charts where ancient songs are only dropping one notch or holding.
Very few foreign acts. I only noticed Avril Lavigne, Nickelback, Mis-Teeq and Seether.
I'm probably overlooking someone, but the only dead artist I spotted was Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. Although sadly Houston intentionally poked his own eye out with a plastic fork after having a mental breakdown.
One of the extras was "The Joker" by Fatboy Slim, which was a remake of the 1974 Steve Miller song.
This is the only show I remember in which BDS (Broadcast Data Systems) and CHR were mentioned. Both came up during the interview with Kimberley Locke.
The only artist on this 2004 countdown and today's is Maroon 5.

Franz Ferdinand is Scottish, Finger Eleven is Canadian. Kevin Lyttle is from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Nate Dogg (who featured on "I Like That") and Proof of D12 are both dead. Additionally, Soulja Slim (who featured on "Slow Motion") was already dead by the time this show aired!

Do you have a source that is available for purchase or can be found somewhere on the internet of songs that hit the AT40 after 1991?

Do you have a source that is available for purchase or can be found somewhere on the internet of songs that hit the AT40 after 1991? The particular chart I found here, on Pulse Music Board: pulsemusic.proboards.com/thread/5349/american-top-40-september-2004PMB publishes AT40's charts each week, which is very useful because since 2004 (i.e. Ryan Seacrest's tenure) the countdown hasn't used a chart officially published by Radio & Records, Billboard, or even Mediabase. MB does put out an official weekly chart, but it's not the same one AT40 uses. Radio & Records and official Mediabase data can be found here: wweb.uta.edu/faculty/gghunt/charts/chart.htmlThis includes data used by Casey's Top 40, as well as most of AT40 from 1998-2003. Also Rick Dees' shows for many years, though starting in the 90s his show often made some changes from the official R&R charts and eventually stopped using them altogether.

KZOY is playing 09/05/87 this morning. The sure shot is "It's a Sin" by the Pet Shop Boys. This countdown is new to retro-Dees. The guest host is Bruce Vidal.
Correction: This show did air once before in 2012.

The 1987 show was decent although obviously there was a segment missing. #7 and #6 are missing. I assume the two songs were “Only In My Dreams” by Debbie Gibson and “Doing It All For My Baby” by Huey Lewis and the News. It’s a shame as I wanted to know what Huey Lewis, Anita Baker, Elton John and Phil Collins had in common. Oh and does anyone else think Bruce sounds a little like Rick? I was sorry to read online that he died pretty young, he did a pretty good job filling in for Rick.

Has anybody listened to the 2003 show yet? I am listening on KKMK and it is not a regular countdown - it is an all-request special. The first song played was "Rock Your Body" by Justin Timberlake. When I listened back in 2003 this weekend, there was a regular countdown played.

Yep, I listened to 2003 and it is an all request special. Mostly 2003 songs, he didnt mention the movement.
I checked the bruce vidal biography online, I didnt even know he passed away at age 54 with diabetes, Dec 2002.. wow. I agree he did a great job.
