Alan Blunder with the goof. Said Dan Hartman was in with his last hit "We are the Young."His last hit was "Second Nature" from early 1985.

Alan Blunder back-announced "Centipede" by mispronouncing Rebbie Jackson's first name. He made it rhyme with Debbie, not with heebie or jeebie.

Shouldn't the (84) on the display for "Love Light in Flight" be an (85), since it debuted on the Hot 100 on December 1 (and released in November 1984), and hit its peak (#17) on February 2, 1985? The same can probably be said for Rick Springfield's "Bruce" (entered November 17), and maybe Bob Seger's "Understanding" (entered November 10).

Mark with the error on the Year End special. He said "Fame" by Irene Cara went to #1, but it only peaked at #4. He really butchers it, saying Irene Cara with another #1, with "Flashdance" in fact her only #1, after "Fame" that went #1. WHAT?!

They are actually counting down 40 songs. They occasionally played a number jingle, though it's the same ones the regular shows use.

Alan Blunder with the error. He announced that Every Breath You Take was #1 for 8 consecutive weeks. It was actually non-consecutive with Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) interrupting them briefly. No, actually in this case, Alan was a Non-Blunder. According to my Billboard reference books, "Every Breath You Take" did indeed spend eight consecutive weeks at #1, with "Sweet Dreams" replacing it at the top spot for a single week. (Although in weeks five through eight of the Police's time at the top, the Eurythmics were waiting in the wings at #2.)

"(Just Like) Starting Over", by John Lennon, held the number-one spot of the Hot 100 for five weeks in December 1980/January 1981. Why wasn't it part of the Number Ones of the Big '80s countdown? There were three pop singles that were at #1 for five weeks, but only "Jump" and "When Doves Cry" were seen on this countdown. Plus, Mark mentioned "Starting Over" during his intro for Kenny Rogers's "Lady". Anyone care to explain this?

Nina with an error when introducing the Survivor entry. She said "Eye of the Tiger" was co-written by John Peterik instead of Jim.

Alan said countdown Train x 2 would be Blackfoot's biggest hit. That honor belonged to Highway Song.

The display beneath Mark's name reads "VJ Big 40 1989!"
Also for Alan's, so I'm guessing they never got to change those displays to 1980. Then as I'm typing, Alan mispronounces "Chiquitita" as "Chiquita", like the bananas.

Alan called Abba's countdown song 'Chiquita.' Then Nina repeated that title.
