Listening this morning to The Spinners at #17 on the 2/16/80 show... only to then hear "Pump Up The Volume" by MARRS at #13 on the 2/27/88 chart. It has been awhile since I tuned in but is this station jumping back and forth between shows again?

It has been awhile since I tuned in but is this station jumping back and forth between shows again? I heard this same thing. When I first discovered this awesome feed a few weeks ago, they seemed to play the complete shows straight through. However, the past week this "switching" midshow has seemed to happen more frequently. Sometimes it's switching shows completely, other times I've heard them jump over a few songs in the countdown. Either way, it could possibly be a way to avoid folks from recording the shows. There's no other reason they would do this. I mean, if they claim to be paying respect to "the legendary Casey Kasem," they sure aren't honoring his countdowns by butchering them. I smell corporate bullcrap going on here.

You are waaaay overanalyzing this. Its just an automated computer that has likely gotten its files a little messed up. The shows almost always play correctly. And an engineer from the station has even popped on here to give some insight and correct previous errors. The man isn't out to get ya, I promise you

While I don't think it's a conspiracy, ChrisLC, it IS jarring when you're listening and all of a sudden there's a shift in the continuum. [chuckle] Is there any way to contact anyone about this? Also, I've been listening for about three months and I seem to keep hearing the same 20 countdowns (both weekly and year-ends) on some sort of rotation.

The engineer occasionally pops in here. Hopefully your comments will be read.

That's awesome to know, BrettVW! Ever since I accidentally stumbled upon this station on iHeart Radio, I've been reliving my misbegotten youth counting down with anticipation (even though I already know how it's going to end). I'd hate for these snafus to mar that experience for others, as well.

This just happened! iHeart Radio is airing the May 10, 1980 countdown and at what was to have been #22 cuts to mid-1986. It returns to 5/10/80 to play #15, then cuts to 7/19/80 to play #s 15-14-13. It then returns to 5/10/80 at #11 for what I hope is the rest of that week's countdown.

Well, I see how my comment reads like a "conspiracy" accusation. I didn't mean it that way. But it seems a bit strange for it to jump from one countdown to another? Even on auto-pilot, it seems like it shouldn't do that. However, I certainly don't understand the behind-the-scenes stuff they have to deal with. So, my apologies for coming across that way.

The 1979 year-end countdown is on the channel right now, just into the Top 5.
I think it was never offered to other stations for the AT40 The 70s series.

They squeeze #40 to #38 into the next hour, similar to the arrangement of the year-end countdown of 1974, 1976, and 1977 aired back in 2009/2010. The optional extras were: Born To Be Alive - Patrick Hernandez Old Time Rock N Roll - Bob Seger Big Shot - Billy Joel
