KKMK is playing 04/03/2004 tonight. The sure shot is "Naughty Girl" by Beyonce. This show is new to retro-Dees.

Anyone catch the 4/7/90 show where it goes to the 3/16/91 show for the number one song? There were some big time skips in the 1990 show so I am guessing it must have been bad for the original #1 segment. I was bummed the skips were bad for the Stevie B. “Love Me For Life” song. That was a great song and definitely didn’t reach the status on the charts it deserved.

i recorded the show but didnt listen that intently. I did notice that it skipped starting the top 5. Would of made more sense to use the #1 song from 1/27/90, since that had fallen off by 4/7. but i had not noticed that goof either.

I didn't hear the show, but I remember well how my local station played that Stevie B song as though it were a top 5 hit, and they would alternate between playing the full version and a horribly modified edit. Anytime it came on, it was a coin toss which version you'd hear. I too wish it had been a bigger hit.

It’s actually 4/8/89. It was replayed in 2018 and 2020.

You'd think Rick.com would take care enough to get the right date displayed.  A wrong date label seems to happen every other week.

KZOY is playing a "Spring Fling/All Request" special tonight. The first song played is "Legs" by Art of Noise. I think the original date is 04/11/87. Little Richard is the special guest.

Edit:  No - the correct date is 04/12/86.

They don't seem to care, no matter what. The very first week I was recording the shows in May 2013, the 80s show was listed as 5/16/1987, yet Rick said very early in the show it was near the end of May, so I had to re-tag it as 5/30. I've had to go back and do that with several shows, because the date listed on the website was incorrect. And then finding segments from a different show that got mixed in (5/27/1989 had a couple top 10 segments from 10/7/1989, also 4/6/1996 having a couple segments from the 10/5/1996 show in the top 10). Quality control is severely lacking, that's for sure.

I always liked that Casey announced the chart date at the end of the show (as of 7/14/1973 and the 1970 debut show). That didn't continue with CT40 and AT40 2.0.

Of course, the Radio & Records chart dates were just over a week (Friday plus the following week) ahead of when the shows were aired. Thus, the first ever Casey's Top 40 was based on the R&R chart dated January 13, 1989 but wasn't broadcast until the weekend of January 21-22, which would have likely been odd or confusing to many listeners.

This has continued for the entire run of R&R and Mediabase (which has been even less consistent) CT40s/AT40s, so it's not hard to see why Casey--or subsequently Ryan Seacrest--didn't/doesn't say "from the chart of (month, day, year)" after 1988.

[OnWithTheCountdown]

Yeah. that'd be somewhat odd (but maybe not entirely whacked) to announce the chart date as the source of the chart counted down despite being a little over a week before its air date, though I certainly understand why it wasn't done. This also happened with AT40's initial run from its second show through 6/30/1973.

Shadoe would continue that practice, but even that would end before AT40 did, with 6/18/1994 (I believe) to be the last show where the chart date is announced (though there were a few random shows beginning in late 1993 where Shadoe didn't announce the date).

[johnnywest]

Loved the 1994 show. I missed it the first time around 27 years ago so it was new for me.

[mitchm]

KZOY is playing 04/10/93 tonight. The first song played is "The Best Things in Life are Free" by Luther Vandross & Janet Jackson. Yes, it's another all-request special (He usually does those in early April). This show was last played on July 4th last year.
