WPNC ran an ad a few minutes ago that mentioned the 2001 show. They'll be running Number Ones of the 70's Part 5, Number One of the 80's Part 1 and the May 26, 2001 show starting at ^AM Eastern on Monday. You mean 6AM Eastern. Whatever's under the ^ when you shift, yup

For the Memorial Day weekend 2001 show: Is it strange to play on AT40 2001 for a LDD "Reminicising" by the Little River Band? There was even an AT40 2001 show that played Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning" as a LDD.

There was even an AT40 2001 show that played Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning" as a LDD. Not as strange as wondering about it. Maybe I'm an odd duck, but the window of "old" or "vintage" just keeps shrinking with each passing year, and I think it's a shame. In a future current year, the previous year will be too old, obsolete, whatever...in my world, 1980s music can still fit in a 2000s countdown, or even a 2020s one.

When I hear songs from the early 1980s I don't think of them as 'old'. But, in the early 1980s, when I heard songs from 40 years earlier, I thought of those as 'ancient'. I guess it depends on your age at the time.

There was even an AT40 2001 show that played Juice Newton's "Angel of the Morning" as a LDD. Not if the letter/e-mail was judged to be compelling enough. There have of course been such dedications for songs that weren't major hits even when new, but fit the request well and so were judged worth airing. (A couple of weeks ago we had that discussion over Helen Reddy's "You And Me Against the World", from 1974, not fitting in the 1985 countdown in which it was used over Tom Rounds' objections for the reason stated.) Regarding "Angel of the Morning", maybe it helped that in 2001 Shaggy had a #1 hit with "Angel" whose chorus reused its melody?

I guess it depends on your age at the time. Part of it is personal taste, and also how well certain styles or genres of music have endured or continue to influence current popular music. There's much more 1980s influence on pop music today than there was 1940s influence in the 80s.

I'd be willing to bet that the real objection over "You and Me Against the World" wouldn't be because of its age, but rather out of a perception as being "maudlin" - in which case, the objection would be that it exists at all.

Clearly all those fans who helped get "Running Up That Hill" back into the top 40 a couple years back agree. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I see that one of the shows that this station is playing is the May 26, 2001 show. What other stations are going with that one as well? KLTF is airing 5/26/2001. ice23.securenetsystems.net/KLTF

I've gotten spoiled by WTOJ. It seems like every holiday they air either a Supersized show or extra countdown. It almost doesn't feel like a holiday when they aren't running anything special.

It's a great record. Very emotional. It's funny how the things that made us cringe 50 years ago wind up being loved. I love all of her hits now, even Leave Me Alone. Well, not love but like, in that one case. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

WPNC started with the two #1 hits specials authorized by Premiere for this weekend. The 70s one aired from 6 to 9 AM, and the 80s one just started and goes till 1 PM.

That should run until 5 Eastern; if they continue the marathon until midnight then it leaves room for one more three hour and one four hour show.

Honestly asking, as I have no such desire. 2001 still seems like 'just yesterday' to me. Could probably think of only a couple of songs or even albums from that year, and right now I can't come up with any.
