Dees 2K has updated to June 1, 2002. Waiting on the other two, but if Dees 2K has already updated, then perhaps the other two won't make us wait as long as they have lately. But in the meantime, R&R historians may remember the corresponding chart as a particularly famous/infamous one due to a certain something that happened on top (has it been 20 years already?)... worldradiohistory.com/Archive-RandR/2000s/2002/RR-2002-05-24.pdf#page=78I guess the greater gain and more "gross impressions" for "A Thousand Miles" was the tiebreaker.

Just the first of those, as stated right below the chart.
Funny thing is, the tiebreaker wasn't always that simple: At one time (at least for a few years), the tiebreaker used to instead be that the song on more stations would rank ahead. Good thing it wasn't still, as they'd have remained tied under that scenario here. As to when it changed? I'm not sure - but if I had to guess, I'd say it was when they split off un-monitored stations to an "Indicator" chart in August 2001. (The tiebreaker change didn't happen when R&R began using Mediabase in mid-1999 - I know of at least one instance in 2000 where stations decided a tiebreaker where the song on more stations had the smaller spin gain.)

Meanwhile, if KKMK plays what I think they're going to play tonight, then Dees 2K will get two Moby Sure Shots this weekend rather than one.
And they are: 5/27/2000 it is, for its 4th time.
NOTE: There was an EAS signal shortly before 8:00. Just the signal sounded, there wasn't an alert message to go with it, but should we expect there to be one (or more) during tonight's show?

Rick played a "super clean"/shortened edit of "The Real Slim Shady" - by that, I mean several lines were cut out entirely. (AT40, in contrast, did not cut out any lyrics, but obviously applied censors where needed.) If it's surprising that he played that, he skipped "Forgot About Dre" - I don't think he ever actually played that. (Plus, "Slim Shady" would hit the Top 20, while "Dre" stopped at #30.) Rick played a medley of En Vogue's hits to set up "Riddle" at #38 - but left out the last of those, "Too Gone, Too Long" (which, incidentally, was also the lowest-peaking of the bunch and had been the only one to miss the Top 20...until "Riddle" came along). I think Rick referred to Joe being 17? Actually, Joe hadn't yet had his birthday for 2000, but he'd turn 27 in July - not 17. Rick's #1s from this week in 1971, 1981, and 1991 were all correct, for a change - but in the process of checking, I found a perhaps uncommon example of a Billboard-only #1 from the 70s that did not get there in Cash Box: "Brown Sugar" was held to #2 for two weeks there behind "Want Ads", which dethroned it on Billboard and leaped 6-1 on Cash Box. Rick switched both Backstreet Boys songs this week, putting "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" down 1 extra and "The One" up 1 extra. (So instead of their two being back to back between Mandy Moore and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as in R&R, instead Mandy and the Chili Peppers are back to back inbetween BSB's two.) Hour 2 is also VERY teen pop: 'N Sync, BSB twice, Mandy Moore, Westlife, BBMak. (Well, BBMak at least were a band that played instruments, but I don't recall the music scene here regarding them as that far apart from the teen scene.) Rick had a bit of a "salute to Broadway" to set up the Goo Goo Dolls at #20, though the Dolls' "Broadway" refers to the neighborhood with that name on the other side of New York, in Buffalo: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadway_(Goo_Goo_Dolls_song)THE MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME...ALMOST: Rick mentioned that Marc Anthony recently eloped with former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. That marriage really did not work out well for the two of them, but now...22 years later, it turns out that Marc is engaged to...not quite another former Miss Universe, but rather she finished 1st Runner-Up. Actually, she's the current 1st Runner-Up: Paraguay's Nadia Ferreira (who, by the way, is 23, while Marc is 53). "No Nuttin' ": #13 "Breathe". At some point, Rick replaces some of the dialogue in the Titanic-inspired bridge of "Oops!...I Did it Again" with lines he came up with himself - I'm just not sure when he starts doing that. (He didn't do that here.)

KDGL TheEagle1069.com is playing 06/24/89 today. The sure shot is "Cold Hearted" by Paula Abdul. This is the 7th airing of this show in retro-Dees with the most recent being 06/26/2021 on the app. Rick continues his recent trend of often jumping to the wrong week (he announced that it is now summer.)

Any idea what the answer is to the 1995 challenge where just one word of a song is played? Thanks
The caption is wrong. It’s actually from June 10. As best as I can tell, it last aired in 2013.

Rick had two switches in Hour 3 versus R&R: He switched "Toxic" and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder" at #18/17, and "Roses" and "My Immortal" at #13/12.
It was also a week where nothing got skipped.

Currently listening to 6/10/1995 and Rick skipped one of the best songs on that countdown: "No More I Love Yous".
