While listening to the countdown early this morning on my way to work, I heard Mark state that "Baby, Come To Me" topped the charts as a result of it being included in episodes of "General Hospital", which is true. But he mistakenly said that it was Luke and Laura's love theme. Now, I wasn't watching that soap in early '83 (but followed it later in the year), but I remember hearing or reading that that particular song was the love theme for Robert Scorpio and Holly. (or possibly Luke and Holly after Laura's supposed "death".) I would presume that Mark Goodman doesn't know diddley squat about that soap opera except for the Luke and Laura storyline and just assumed any love theme has to apply to that famous couple.

Either Mark or Alan stated that "The Tide Is High" was Number 1 in 1980. It spent its only week at #1 on 1-31-81.
On a related note one of the guys stated that "9 to 5" was a spoiler alert as dethroning "Celebration." Several songs later it was announced the "I Love A Rainy Night" was last week's Number 1. ILARN knocked out "Celebration."

ILARN knocked out "Celebration." Actually, "9 To 5" DID dethrone "Celebration"----for the week ending 2/21/81. Then, for the next two weeks, "I Love A Rainy Night" was #1. Then, for this week's countdown date of 3/14/81, "9 To 5" returned to #1 for one more week.

I wish Mark would have made a note of it returning to #1 because not too many songs have done that up until that point and that would have been interesting to mention.

Casey lite played the original Guitar Man, not the 1981 remixed hit version.

Nina called ABBA's countdown song The Winner Takes All. Then Alan said 2x Fantasy wasn't selling well until John Lennon's murder. It debuted at #25 then climbed to 12-11. It those days, that was better than respectable chart movement.

In an early content screw up Nina called Stevie Woods countdown song Just Can't 'Get' 'Em All.

In her weekly chart screw up, Nina said Gambler was falling 17. Through The Years was really dropping 29-13.

After a 'good bad and ugly' comment, Alan said the Oak Ridge (Tennessee) Boys were from Alabama! He must have them confused w/the performers of this week's #37 song!

Alan and Nina were really spotty on this survey. After Nina's Stevie Woods gaffe at #40, Alan mentions after Prism at #39 that he's with Mark and Nina, only to say a few segments later that Mark was off for the weekend citing technical difficulties in setting up his home-based telecommuter remote location.

Odd that Mark had trouble setting up his home 'microphone'--I was under the impression that they all voice tracked all their various shows from 'home' for quite some time. Maybe Mark has the same (crappy) internet I have.

Nina said Finer Things was the 4th single from Steve Winwood's album. It was the 3rd release from Back In The High Life.
