Possible chart error that was never corrected?

[bandit73]

I just remembered something weird about the old AT40 back in the pre-Shadoe years (when Casey hosted it using the Hot 100).

Once in the mid-1980s, "Hello Again" by the Cars and "You're The Inspiration" by Chicago (or maybe it was "Hard Habit To Break") were back-to-back on the countdown. But I'm pretty sure I saw the actual printed chart that week, and these two songs were switched around from where they were on AT40.

If this was a mistake on AT40's part, it was not corrected in a later episode. (As far as I know, they still haven't corrected it.)

Yes, you are correct. On the 12/15/84 show, "Hello Again" was played as #23 and "You're The Inspiration" was played as #22.

After checking that chart in the Archives at billboard.biz, it turns that "You're The Inspiration" was really #23 and "Hello Again" was #22.

Thanks for pointing out AT40's mistake.
