Nina told the story of Jerry Reed writing Elvis hit, Guitar Man, then at the end of the story called him "Jimmy Reed".

I think Casey lite just said More Than You Know was Martika's 2nd release after Toy Soldiers. Of course that is backwards!

Casey lite said Lost In Love was from the album Life Support. That was the original version. This Air Supply hit was of course rerecorded & was the title cut from their US breakthrough LP.

Last week's show was from 6/27/87, and Nina said that Glenn Medeiros' "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" was in its first week in the top 40; in fact it was its last. Then in the same segment she said the Jets' "Cross My Broken Heart" was a "former top 10 hit, on its way into the sunset." Actually, it was moving up on its way to the top 10. Was she standing on her head or something?

On this weeks 1987 show, Mark Goodman decided to show off his "inner Treekie" and said that T'Pau was the father of T'Pring who rejected Spock for Stonn.
Most of that is correct - except that T'Pau was a woman and was not related to T'Pring.

Casey lite is at it again, this time playing the classic 60s version of the Elvis classic instead of the remixed 1981 version.

3/19/83: Alan Hunter introduced "One on One" by saying that Daryl Hall & John Oates' previous single, "Maneater," had been their first #1 hit. We all know it was their fifth, following "Rich Girl", "Kiss on My List", "Private Eyes," and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)." I can't help agreeing that it must be those unpaid college interns who weren't born yet when this music first came down the pike.

Another minor glitch was Alan Hunter talking up the Eddie Rabbitt/Crystal Gayle song "You And I" and he listed Eddies previous hits "Suspicions" and "Each Other". The actual title is "Both To Each Other (Friends And Lovers)".
I guess my problem is I just assume that a DJ should be knowledgable in music in general, not just one type, or in the case of the former VJ's the huge MTV era songs alone.

I guess my problem is I just assume that a DJ should be knowledgable in music in general, not just one type, or in the case of the former VJ's the huge MTV era songs alone. And "Both to Each Other" wasn't a previous hit in 1983. That duet with Juice Newton was a country hit in 1986, the same year that Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson had a pop hit with the same song. If he wanted to mention more of Eddie's previous hit parade, he could have said "Drivin' My Life Away", "Step By Step", or most of all "I Love a Rainy Night", which was #1 on the March 7, 1981 chart the VJ's counted down just two weeks ago. Another recent mistake was Alan's claim that Journey's "Don't Stop Believin" was a #1 hit when it only peaked at #9. While it may be reasonable for someone unfamiliar with the charts of the time to think the song was a #1 hit given its recent ubiquity, I expect better from a chart show hosted by people who were prominently announcing music at that time. |

This might be forgivable if they were using another chart besides Billboard. Otherwise, it's inexcusable laziness.
Are they still hyping that they are using the Hot 100? What is wrong with the researchers on this show? Even I can remember off the top of my head the chart positions of many of these songs. We all deserve better from these hosts!

This past weekend, they did 4/3/82. Nina Blackwood likes to cite the chart movement of songs. But, whether it's her fault or not, she all too often gets it wrong. She had the Little River Band's "Take It Easy on Me" moving "up three" to #36, when in fact it was moving down three. Same thing with Dan Fogelberg's "Leader of the Band" at #35. Later, she had Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero" dropping four to #26. Impossible -- it never got higher than #26! It was actually climbing four.

I say we replace it with my show! I love doing 60's and 70's dates but I'd be happy to do the 80's instead!

I could probably run circles around them. I always wanted to do an '80s-themed countdown show. I just need pretty much everything (songs, equipment, etc.)
