Mark said Who's Zoomin' Who was a big comeback for the Queen. Aretha rode the Freeway as her comeback.

Wow, even during the MTV era they still seem to screw it up every single week. It really is disheartening when management gets away with it...

Mark said Head Over Heels was the 4th single from Tears For Fears album. It was really Big Chair's 3rd US release.

Say You Say Me was tagged 1986 even though it would peak at #1 before the end of 1985. Ditto w/ I Miss You. The (86) classification for "Say You Say Me" was probably because it debuted on the Hot 100 the week of November 12 (after the end of October), even though I'm not sure about its release date. "Like a Virgin", from the previous year, entered the Hot 100 the third week of November '84 and reached #1 during the "frozen week" of 1984-85, so that one was tagged 1985. "I Miss You" debuted in mid-September of '85, so that should have an (85) tagging, not an (86) one. The same would go for "Party All the Time", which entered the pop chart in mid-October of '85 and reached its #2 peak during the "frozen week" of 1985-86. And then you have "Tonight She Comes", "Small Town", and "Walk of Life", the first of which is classified (85), while the latter two are (86). The problem is that all three of them debuted on the week of November 5 (so did "Burning Heart", by Survivor, and that "Sun City" song).

Did you all catch Nina, when introducing "You Are My Lady", refer to the artist as the LATE Freddie Jackson. I thought to myself, I don't remember hearing about his death. And sure enough, after doing some online research (even checking out his Facebook page), I'm happy to announce that Freddie is alive and well. He's even going to be part of an all-star R&B concert in Atlanta the day after Thanksgiving.
In other words, with apologies to Curtis Mayfield, Freddie's NOT dead.

The Lord only knows what gets into Nina Blooperwood's head, or slips in through one ear and right back out the other. But perhaps she got Freddie confused with Luther Ronzoni Vandross. (Yes, that was his real middle name.) Back in the day, a lot of comparisons were made between the two singer-songwriters.

Listening live to the Monday morning "rad replay" and came right here after hearing Nina's death announcement of Freddie Jackson. He's a very alive 63 years old singer, still on tour. WOW - this has to be the worst VJ error ever.

That most recent one has probably topped them all. How does this stuff continue to go on? I'm just appalled by all of it...
With so much info at our fingertips these days compared to the time period of hits being counted down that we all enjoy to hear again, you'd think these shows would be error-free, research-wise. The things about the artists and their songs many of us know like the back of our hands, yet those officially behind the mic continue to pour out blunder after blunder after blunder.
I just don't know what else to say...

Worst part is a lot of the mistakes they make really don't even require research. As a so called 'expert' which is why they are in those positions, they should know Sultans of Swing was Dire Straits 2nd biggest hit. That shouldn't require research. And when research is required instead of Wikipedia which isn't always right, you'd think they would have a Whitburn book or two laying around or maybe actually look at a Billboard since that is the chart they use.

I'm thinking that Nina confused Freddie Jackson with James Ingram, whose style is also comparable to Freddie's, but whose death is much more recent than that of Luther's.

Good point about James Ingram. Still an egregious and inexcusable mistake. Oh, by the way, this thread just hit 70 pages. Did anyone think it would be this "popular"?

Well, there's almost 7 years' worth of reported bloopers in this thread...also we've caught a boatload of errors in the classic AT40 shows and cue sheets too, which would be many, many pages' worth.

Another good point. Eight times this show has been run. I just played the eighth one on the app. That Freddie Jackson intro stayed the same. Crazy.

Mark said Palmer's Early In The Morning was a 'couple' years after Gap Band's 1982 original.
