This is a bit overdue, and slightly off-topic, but I forgot about it until now. The 90's on 9 countdown recently contained an error worthy of the VJ Big 40. While playing a 1990 chart, host Julie Brown said that "Heart of Stone" was Taylor Dayne's first song that didn't hit #1. I think she meant "didn't hit the top 10," but why bother being accurate?

OMG, Casey lite is playing some weird version of Hold Me 'Til The Morning Comes, definitely not the hit! Brutal!

Mark said Kiss the Bride was the 3rd single from Elt's album. It was the 2nd. Then he said Too Low For Zero ended an Elt's early 80s rut. Huh? Little Jeannie (his biggest 80s hit) Blue Eyes, Empty Garden??

Even Pop2K sometimes screws up. This week they did 2001 and Rich Davis said that Blake Shelton ("Austin") is a judge on American Idol when he's actually a judge on The Voice. And since the show started no less.

Mark Goodman just said that Cheap Trick's version of Don't Be Cruel was originally done by...Fats Domino?

I even looked the song up in case he did a version of it that I wasn't aware of and I didn't see his name. Oddly he was also mentioned during the intro to "Never Tear Us Apart," but the reference was correct. Also strangely enough, there's no section on the Cheap Trick version of DBC on its Wikipedia page despite being a huge hit.

I'm one step closer to giving up this hot mess of a radio show for good.

During Nina's first talk-break, she said that Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine's "1-2-3" was at #35 instead of the correct #37, while neglecting to mention "Love Will Save the Day" (at #38). She also stated that "Hands to Heaven" (at #35) was "fading into the sunset", a term she uses to describe a countdown single that is in its last week in the Top 40. The problem with that is "Hands to Heaven" would be in the Top-40 for one more week (slipping to #38 on the September 24 chart).

Cheap Trick's version of Fats Domino "Ain't That a Shame" received regular airplay on SXM Classic Rewind, where Mark Goodman was once a DJ. He still may appear on Classic Rewind but is on everyday on The Spectrum as well as Volume. He confused Cheap Trick cover songs, which is my best guess if you want to get to the root of the error.

That seems to be a viable reason for the confusion. I actually forgot they covered that song too.

Wow. File that one under "W," for Why Didn't I Think of That?

Mark said BB would take two months after a May release to claw to #8 on the pop charts. Don't Be Cruel would get there in October. Then Nina said Chapman was climbing 5 when Fast Car was really falling 16-6.

In their ever changing hit definition, Alan said Robert Palmer had three big ones from Heavy Nova. It only had two top 40s with a third release getting no higher than #60.
