Nina said that Leo Sayer came on the scene in 1977 with his two chart toppers from that year. Uh, he came on the scene here in the US two years earlier with "Long Tall Glasses".

Mark made a big production about how well Same Old Lang Syne was doing on the charts considering it was long after Christmas. It was not originally a Christmas song and only became one because radio programmers later decided it was.
Also, Mark referred to Rapture as a "full-on rap song." Only the bridge is rap, the rest is singing. Has he ever even heard the song?

In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said Happy Birthday was a biggie for Wonder from Hotter Than July. It never made the 100.

Errors aren't limited to Copycat Casey; during regular programming Down Under was tagged 1981. Then in their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said Romeo Void had a biggie with Never Say Never, which Never reached the Hot 100

Wasn't RV's NSN in heavy rotation on MTV when it was out? Maybe Alan actually remembers introing and outroing it?
I know, it's not the same as hitting Billboard's top 40 off the Hot 100. But, I'm thinking that beats misreading the Wikipedia page without having a clue.

It sometimes gets lost in the perspectives between a 'chart hit' (like we'd hear Casey intro a song on AT40 from the BB Hot 100) and if a song was a hit with the viewers of MTV from back in the day. Coming from the former VJs (especially Hunter, who apparently holds a special disdain for much of any 'chart hit' in the80s from before the dawn of MTV), I tend to interpret their calling something a hit from that second vantage point unless specifically citing a specific chart.

After Nina actually correctly ID'd this chart as 2/25/89, Alan said White's #36 'Way was the first countdown appearance of LA Reid, Babyface, etc. That would actually be White's prior #37 Superwoman

Put your Hands To Heaven, Mark said countdown Don't Tell Me Lies introed Breathe to the US. Didn't he make the same mistake last year?
