Alan said Heartbreaker was Dionne's biggest solo hit of the 80s. Does it count as solo if it includes her Friends Gladys, Stevie and Elt?

I think he did consider TWFAF a group effort more than a solo effort, especially with it being billed as Dionne and Friends and all. Also he couldn't have at least mentioned how active Dionne has been on Twitter over the past month or so? Though I am glad Alan didn't mention the rather unfortunate reason "Gloria" was back in the news.

Nina said James Ingram had eight 80s top 40s. Even if you include all his collaborations, the real number is 6.

Mark, mic sounding crummy as ever said Basil was a one hit wonder, not giving Tony credit for two other Hot 100 entries.

Down Under is tagged 1981?? It was originally released in Australia and New Zealand in late 1981, so technically that's true. But for a US-based countdown, 1982 or 1983 would be more appropriate.

Casey lite's errors aren't limited to music. Nina said the score of the 1983 'Bowl was 27-10. The Super score was really 27-17.

In her weekly content screw up Nina said the early-mid 80s saw an Aussie invasion that included LRB. The guys from Melbourne invaded in 1976. She also included Dr. Noah Drake even though he was Speaking to the Sky in 1972. Interestingly enough, I think she excluded Air Supply who would have actually fit her definition.

Alan said Juice was up a couple. Heart of the Night was ^29-32. Then he said Ooh la la was a #7 song for Kool and the Gang. It was Dancin' this week at a peak of #30. That was actually its peak on the R&B chart.

For clarity purposes the VJs should specify which chart the peak is from, i.e. Disco, R&B, Country, etc. I guess the errors just continue--we are now on Page 100 already!

Here is some catch up from the 1988 show:
1. In their ever changing definition of a hit, Alan said New Order had a biggie in 1983 w/Blue Monday. It never cracked the Hot 100. 2. OMG, Mark said countdown Crazy was Icehouse and Oates. Of course John's IH contribution was Electric Blue. 3. Alan called 'Dude writer Desmond 'Childs'
