Was 4/28/1984 the only time they played the album version of The Reflex? No, it was played when the song had its first #1 week in the #1 position. Which hopefully Premiere will play that show this year. |

Going just slightly off topic because there's no better place for this. The 90s retro countdown on SiriusXM, whenever they feature a spring 1991 chart, play the wrong version of Voices That Care. Their version sounds like a totally different group of singers went into the studio and re-recorded the song. They've been playing this version as long as the show has existed. It annoys me to death for several reasons...
1. I don't like hearing alternate versions of songs on countdown shows.
2. Host Julie Brown calls out Peter Cetera's involvement and mentions her own participation in the song -- except they aren't featured on the song as played.
3. I've never been able to find any reference anywhere on the internet that another version was made. So where on God's green Earth did SiriusXM find it??

The closest thing I can find on the the Wiki entry for the song is this: It also has a list of the people who did the backing vocals: I wonder if the version heard is the demo and that it's the backing vocalists who are doing the singing on it. |

Can you find this "Voices That Care" version on YouTube? |

JMW, thanks for pointing that out. I'm sure I read that Wiki article but somehow never caught that reference. That must be the version SiriusXM plays, but how on Earth did they get it? And I sure wish there was a way to contact them about it.
Dth1971, years ago I looked on YouTube but could only find the popular version.

What version of Heart's Nothing At All was played on the 5/17/1986 show? ETA: I asked a question about the same song in this post 8 years ago when the 6/21/1986 show aired; is it the same version I'm asking about now (the one on 6/21 was the original album version)? |

I haven't heard that version of Nothing At All in a long time. I bought the Heart cassette in summer of '86 and recall the version on that cassette being the more commonly-played radio version, but could be way off.
Vienna Calling sounded slightly different, too.

Maybe because it isn't nearly as memorable to me as some of their other hits (or it could be my increasingly faulty memory), but I swear I've heard at least three different versions of the song throughout its time in the countdown. |

Miami Sound Machine's Bad Boy on 5/17/1986: is that the album version or the single? I remember hearing that version on the radio back in the day so I'm going to say single.

I’m not sure I liked the version of “Nothin’ At All” played on this week’s show. I like the version with Frankie Sullivan’s guitar solo. Ann Wilson’s vocals are strange in this one too, did she have a cold when she was singing this version?

Se La on 5/23/1987 sounded a little different than usual.

This one probably won't ring a bell unless you're particularly in tune with the Shadoe Stevens era. 5/25/91: Keedy's "Save Some Love" has its 12" remix played. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpRY2qxuBOoFor comparison, here's the one that's probably more familiar from other shows during its run: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OwAvDJmnJI(There are a couple clips on YouTube that refer to a "single version", but that turns out to be exactly the same as is heard in the video [the second link]). |

Yes, this is the same version as the one on 6/21/86. These two shows, along with 6/14/86 guest-hosted by Charlie Van Dyke, were the only shows that had this version played. |

I'm listening to the Top 40 of 1979 on the Classic AT40 channel and noticed that YMCA sounded more like a re-recording than the original version. ETA: If that is the case, it'd be like the time that another song from 1979 had a different version played (from the first page of this very thread): To those that heard the AT40 broadcast of 12/22/1979, here's the biggest okey doke i've ever heard. Why on earth did Premiere insert the 1989 remix of "Pop Muzik" into the show? It chronologically doesn't make any sense & sounds very out of place. Nothing wrong with the remix itself; it just doesn't sound like we're gonna party like it's 1979!  How about the terrible version of "Pop Muzik" on the 1979 show last weekend? OK, since it's been posted on the 70's thread--M's "Pop Muzik" with an odd remix on the 12/22/79 show. The question is--is that a remix from the late 80's/early 90's, and if so, how the heck did it make it's way onto an AT40 show from 1979?? Curious to know if Premiere did this...and if so, why? If it is a remix from the late 80's, it would still be over 20 years old, so not like they would be appeasing the younger audiences a whole lot.

It had to have been a Premiere thing, because I clearly remember hearing the original version of "Pop Muzik" on that same AT40 show when XM aired it some years back. |
