They again have played the old intro for the show which mentioned Martha Quinn.

Alan forgot to mention "Dr. Feelgood" before intro-ing "When I Looked At Him". Then he said "When I Looked at Him" would be a number 8 hit for Expose. "When I Looked at Him" is actually peaking at number 10 on this week's countdown, and would slip to #12 the following week.

In her weekly chart screw up Nina said Milli Vanilli was down eight. Miss You was really dropping 14-3.

OMG, Nina just said Air Supply was topping off at 'today's #32'. Both the peak and countdown position of Young Love were #38!!

Alan cited Muskrat Love as an America hit. Of course it was C&T that had the biggie with that. America's version barely scraped the bottom 1/3 of the Hot 100. Then he said they would have their first biggie in 1971. 'Horse wouldn't chart until Spring 1972.

Did Mark say that Evelyn King died, or did I hear incorrectly? According to Wiki, she is still very much alive, but had a near death experience in 2006. Any info would be appreciated. At first I thought he was incorrect about the release of "Shame," but it didn't become a big hit on the pop charts until 1978. Thanks!

No, he said Love Come Down writer/producer Kashif unfortunately is no longer with us.

The title for the show On Demand has the i in Billy Joel's named capitalized, so it looks like "BIlly Joel".

On the display for "I Keep Forgettin'", the (82) classification is missing. This also happened the last time it was on a countdown (a November one). "I Keep Forgettin'" appeared with the (82) at the end of its title during the Steve Lukather guest-DJ stint.
Also, during Nina's talk breaks, I was thinking the phrase "holding on to position X for another week" (as opposed to "holding steady at position X") would usually be reserved for countdown songs at their peak positions. This week, Nina said "'Nobody' from Sylvia was 'holding on to #25 for another week'", even though it would peak at #15 a few weeks later. The Gap Band's "You Dropped a Bomb On Me" (at #31) got the "holding steady at position X" line. She did something similar with Taco's "Putting on the Ritz" on the late '83 countdown, saying it was "holding onto" #8, but it actually peaked at #4. Another indication that Nina never tells when singles were at their chart highs during a countdown.

When you listen to the old AT 40 countdowns, Casey would use those terms in a manner that sounded interchangeably to me and why not, how would one know from week to week if a song was truly at it's peek, as opposed to simply taking a two or three stop at a given chart position. I am always more frustrated with the inaccuracies that are documented above in the VJ Big 40 countdowns anyway.

If she wants to bring anything unique to the table, at least she should announce to the audience that "Missing You" by John Waite was written about her, instead of simply telling us the incorrect peak position of the song.

The (87) is missing on the display for "Shake Your Love". I could have sworn it used to have that.

Nina, during her first talk-break, mentions "Betcha Say That" (peaking at #36), and "Faith" (at #37), but not "Catch Me (I'm Falling)" (at #38, even though it had been intro'd by Alan).
Also, during the intro for "Shake Your Love", Mark said that "Shake Your Love" was the lead single from Debbie Gibson's "Out of the Blue" album. "Only in My Dreams" was the lead single, "Shake Your Love" was the second single. And then Mark said there were six singles from "Out of the Blue" even though five appeared on the Hot 100 (the exception being "Red Hot", which was only released in the Philippines).
