After Nina called 'Pilot singer Charlie "Dory" Casey lite is playing some funky version of Hold Onto My Love, maybe 12"? Definitely not the hit. I heard that extended version of "Hold On To My Love" early yesterday afternoon on the Big 40 Countdown and I enjoyed it a lot! I'm usually less than impressed with such alternative versions of songs I'm familiar with, but the added length just made a great song better. And I wouldn't call it funky; the song still had the same feel and rhythm.

Mark, sounding like he is recording from the tub, said the original Working My Way Back To You would peak at #4, actually #9. Quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read on this thread.

With all the screw-ups this week, at least Nina said "How Do I Make You" correctly.

OMG, Alan said 'Room was from Animotion's debut album?? Hello, Obsession, 4 years earlier? Then Nina said .38 Special formed 1974, really 1975.

Alan did the intro for #35 Butte Midler, outta order. They were really on #36 Johnny Kemp, and Birthday Suit was played. The engineer must have done the drop in the wrong place. This error was fixed on the Saturday AM replay with Birthday Suit being played w/no intro directly after that horrid Metallica tune. But then Alan screwed up the next intro saying peaking 'Suit came a couple years after Johnny's biggie Just Got Paid, the latter was from May 1988. Nina's talk breaks were all tagged "VJ Big 40 1980"

Alan said 'Hero was the 3rd Footloose single after two from Kenny Loggins. It was actually the 2nd after the Loggins title cut and the 4th on this countdown with Shalamar's 'Sheets and DW's Let's Hear It. Then Mark said #23 'Boy wouldn't be the 1st FL song we would hear. Duh, they were already played at #34 and #30.

Alan said In Too Deep was the 4th single from Invisible Touch. It was really the 5th Genesis single from that album. Then he said he was introduced to Herb Alpert with 1964s Whipped Cream, except that release came out in 1965.

In their ever changing definition of a hit, Mark said Atlantic Starr finally achieved crossover success with Secret Lovers, forgetting earlier Top 40 Circles.

Mark said #8 Finer Things was 4th single and biggest hit from Winwood's 'High Life album?! It was the 3rd single and biggest hit, not even close! That would be #1 Higher Love!

Okay... why was the year on the display for "I Just Died in Your Arms" changed to (86)? Especially considering that its chart run began in the first week of March 87?

Nina started by saying Holding Back The Years was SR's most successful single. Whitburn ranked it #2 behind If You Don't Know Me By Now. Then Mark said Greatest Love was Whitney's third biggest behind I Love You and 'Dance. It was really 2nd.
