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. 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. Going from the 40s to the 80s is a much bigger shift than going from the 80s to the 20s for one simple reason. The rock era's beginning in the 50s makes music from the 40s very outdated.

Macy Gray was almost certainly one of America's Top Hits that week (the two pages that are available on Charis for the Hot AC show suggest that this is so), while 'N Sync would sail in next week at #20, Destiny's Child would debut the week after that, and Staind would debut the week after that. Oddly enough, in all three "future hits" cases, the respective weeks also happen to line up with when the songs landed on the corresponding R&R chart. Neglected to mention this as I didn't think of it until now, but "I Try" was in fact #1 exactly one year prior (her third of 4 weeks on top). Also worth noting: Both the second and third LDDs were #1 on this week of their respective years as well. "Because You Loved Me" was second, and would be noted separately by Casey, while "I'll Remember" was third, and hit #1 on CT40 this weekend in 1994 (stopping at #2 on AT40).

Well, that's annoying. WXHC skipped the second extra. ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png)

That means that the 2001 show starts at noon (CST). I will most definitely be tuned in at that time! Is there really that much desire to hear a 2001 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. It is nice to hear a show from outside of the 1970s and '80s once in a while, although I'd prefer one from the 1990s over one from the 2000s. I know there have been some of those played over the last few years.

Here's an update: fox59.com/news/court-denies-request-for-new-trial-in-jill-behrman-murder-case/#:~:text=Behrman's%20body%20was%20found%20in,to%2065%20years%20in%20prison

A couple of things worth noting about Larry Morgan’s intros here; he said “It’s Been Awhile” was #1 on the Alternative chart, and Casey said the same thing. Also, a bit of “Edge of Seventeen” was played before “Bootylicious” which of course uses its main riff.

And WPNC is finishing up with the Top 40 hits of the Beatle Years, originally broadcast October 2, 1976. (No Larry Morgan intro or optional extras.)

Not the first time a "gone missing" dedication would ultimately end with the person gone missing having been murdered: At the beginning of 1991 (1/19), Shadoe's AT40 had one for the search of Jacob Wetterling, who'd been kidnapped over a year prior. (Song dedicated: "Somewhere Out There") It wouldn't be until 2016 that his remains were found. Separately, "Survivor" falls into a death dedication hex: This is the first of three consecutive weeks where it leads into one. ![:-X](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/lipssealed.png) (Possibly four if it happened on 6/16 as well; that week I don't know.) Then on 6/23, it follows one!

Then on 6/23, it follows one! “Survivor” is pretty midtempo and not too fast, so I guess it’s not too much of an uptempo g—d—— number to lead into a death dedication… IIRC, Jacob Wetterling’s mother Patty ran for Congress in Minnesota, losing to (ugh) Michelle Bachmann.

Then on 6/23, it follows one! Didn’t happen on 6/16; it was in its own segment at #10, and no LDD in the segment before or after it. I was in MN for both Jacob Wetterling's disappearance in 1989, and when his remains were found in 2016. While in a sense it felt like a chapter was closed, it felt like the fall of 1989 all over again. He was from an area about an hour away from where I was living, and for months, he was in the news. Just sad and gut-wrenching thinking about what happened to him.

(Issue isn't the tempo clash but rather the polar-opposite subject intents.)

Also, a bit of “Edge of Seventeen” was played before “Bootylicious” which of course uses its main riff. 1 - "I Try" - Casey told a story on how Macy didn't like to speak growing up because she hated her voice. 2 - "Bootylicious" - the drop of "The Edge of Seventeen" which was played was segued into the beginning of "Bootylicious." The only other time I remember something like that happening was in 2003 on AT20 (AC) when Casey played a drop of "I Can't Go For That" which was played right into "Sunrise" by Simply Red. 3 - "Pop" - Larry mentioned that it would become the highest debut of 2001 (probably the intro that took the most research). 4 - "It's Been Awhile" - Larry also mentioned that it was the current #1 on the Rock Chart, which Casey didn't mention.
