The buzz at the end during the title Someday was on the file as my copy has the same thing. With Premiere offering 9/1/01 for Labor Day we got double the "High" this week but Casey's definition of Afro-speak before it on it's debut on 9/1/01 was better than Ed's intro it's about as good as Casey's definition of Hip-Hop terms segments on AT40 & CT40 from 87-91.

I could probably fix it & edit him saying Someday in the intro to it. If Labor Day were a week later I bet Premiere would've had an extra honoring Steve Harwell of Smashmouth in the 2001 show.

9/8/01 insight (Ed McMann Chart Week):
*Gigi D’Agostino holds with “I’ll Fly With You” (#39), the North American name of “L'amour toujours”, which is also the name of his second album.
*McMann tells a piece on the International Sand Collection Society, which consists of people who collect sand and have a desire for doing sand-related projects. They also host a convention for sand collectors called SandFest.
*Mandy Moore moves up 2 with “Crush” (#35). She was recently diagnosed with ITP, an autoimmune disease caused by low platelet counts.
*NSYNC debuts “Gone” (#34). Their 1998 Top 10 track “Tearin' Up My Heart” was played during an ATH segment.
*Aaliyah’s 2000 Top 10 track “Try Again” was played as an Extra. McMann tells a piece on Aaliyah’s death, which happened just a few weeks prior.
*Enya moves up 1 with “Only Time” (#29). Pretty sure this was the last week the original was used before switching to the CHR remix.
*Afroman moves up 9 with “Because I Got High” (#28). Very huge jump for a novelty track, and is still popular by the younger generation to this day.
*McMann tells a piece on Victoria, BC, a city that was one of the many tourist attractions of Canada. It was also a capital city for the opium industry.
*One of this weeks ads is for Hallmark, a brand of greeting cards who also operated Gold Crown stores and also has a namesake TV channel, focused on family friendly entertainment. The Gold Crown stores are still around today in several areas.
*Smash Mouth moves up 3 with “I’m a Believer” (#17). Frontman Steve Harwell just recently died from liver failure. He also had a history of alcoholism and suffered from cardiomyopathy.
*Sugar Ray’s 1999 Top 10 track “Someday” was played during an ATH segment.
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Samantha Mumba falls 1 with “Don't Need You To (Tell Me I'm Pretty)” (Dropper; #41). It was the first of 2 tracks that went one and done on the Top 40 consecutively, the other being “I’m Right Here”, just over a year later. As mentioned, it spent a few weeks on the WT40.
*Eden's Crush also falls 1 with “Love This Way” (#45). Like their preceding single “Get Over Yourself”, a Spanish version of the track was released, titled “Se Que Tú También”.
*Svala holds with her debut single “The Real Me” (#46). I have no idea if she was the first Icelandic act to chart on CHR (I’m assuming yes but can’t say for sure).
*Mariah Carey debuts “Never Too Far” (#50). She released the single while recovering from an emotional breakdown, exhibiting not normal behavior.
*Jennifer Paige holds on Indicator with “These Days” (#40; 2 adds on CHR). It was her last single to chart on CHR, not lasting long.
*Lindsay Pagano debuts on Indicator with “Everything UR” (#48; WAYV add; 10 adds on CHR). As mentioned, the track was popularized by ads for AOL but I actually didn’t know who performed the track until last year.
*Amber bubbles under with “Yes” (WZBZ add; 1 add on CHR). This had to have been played during late nights as I’m sure WZBZ (at that time) switched over to a more urban focused Rhythmic format. Also interested to hear this version to see the “breast” lyric was cleaned out or intact.
*Garbage bubbles under with “Androgyny” (WAYV add; 9th Most Added w/12 adds). The title comes from a term for someone having a feminine and masculine side.
*Elan Atias bubbles under with “I’m in Love With You Girl” (5 adds on CHR). Never heard of this singer nor the track but seen that he was a member of The Wailers, a backup band for Bob Marley. Could not find this track anywhere so it’s a rare find.
*Prudencesa Renfro, under the name PRU, bubbles under of “Aroma (of a Man)” (6th Most Added w/29 adds; 2 adds on Rhythmic). Also never heard of her or this track but seen that she was compared to R&B acts Lauryn Hill and Eriykah Badu.
*P Diddy moves up 1 on Rhythmic with “Bad Boy For Life” (at #14; 8 adds on CHR). The video features several cameos by Travis Barker, Ben Stiller, Mike Tyson, Shaq and other celebrities.
*Petey Pablo moves up 6 on Rhythmic with “Raise Up” (at #42). As said previously, it is a dedication to his home state of North Carolina, with a version featuring all the major US cities.

9/13/03 insight:
*Ginuwine debuts “In Those Jeans” (#39). This one was a one and done and also his last Top 40 track to date. It was also a Top 5 on Rhythmic and peaked at #3 on the Urban charts and #8 on the Hot 100.
*Kasem tells a piece on the negative reception of Liz Phair’s namesake album, which served as a departure to Phair’s indie rock sound to a more pop sound, leading to outlets making Phair a “sell out”.
*MercyMe falls 2 with “I Can Only Imagine” (#34) and was also played as the 1st LDD.
*Jennifer Lopez moves up 1 with “Baby I Love U” (#32). This track would later resurge with a remixed version featuring R. Kelly.
*Lumidee falls 5 with “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)” (#20). It gained scrutiny from songwriter Luc van Acker as it closely resembled the 1984 Anna Domino single “Zanna” but did not sue under the advice from the SABAM, an anti-piracy organization in Belgium.
*Des’ree’s 1994 Top 10 track “You Gotta Be” was played as the 2nd LDD. It resurged twice, in 1995 after its success in the US and in 1999 after a remixed version was used in a TV ad for the Ford Focus.
*Ashanti falls 5 with “Rock With U (Aww Baby)” (#16). Her latest album is The Dedication, released in 2014, while she released several singles afterwards.
*Kasem tells a piece on the mood ring, a ring which changes color based on somebody’s finger temperature. The ring was more popular during the mid-1970s.
*One of this week’s ads was for the GMAC’s real estate brokerage, which was founded in 1998 and closed in 2012. The GMAC itself was formed in 1919 by General Motors to assist consumers in purchasing GM cars. They later founded a mortgage service called ResCap, which filed for bankruptcy in 2012 and shuttered a year later. The GMAC was later renamed to Ally Financial, which continues operations to this day.
*Kelly Clarkson falls 1 with “Miss Independent” (#10). Her newest single “Roses” was based on the end of her relationship with Brandon Blackstock, who divorced in 2021.
*Kasem tells a piece on “Dueling Banjos”, a song by Eric Weissberg which peaked at #2 on the Hot 100 in 1973. It was recorded for the film Deliverance, which released in 1972.
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Saliva moves up 2 with “Rest in Pieces” (#47). It was their first and only appearance on the CHR chart, while it was a Top 20 on Hot AC.
*R. Kelly re-enters with “Thoia Thoing” (#49). The video for this track was influenced by Japanese culture, while the title was based on a phone’s ringtone.
*Sally Anthony bubbles under with “My Life” (3 adds on CHR). Never heard of this act or the track but seen that she released 2 albums and some EPs.
*Elephant Man bubbles under with “Pon de River, Pon de Bank” (0 adds on Rhythmic). He appeared on remixes on several hip-hop/R&B singles during this time, gaining a fanbase in the US rhythmic scene.
*JS moves up 1 on Rhythmic with “Ice Cream” (at #24; 4 adds on CHR). They consisted of sisters Kim and Kandy Johnson and started as a gospel act in 2001.
*Mark Ronson falls 5 on Rhythmic with “Ooh Wee” (at #37). He is best known for the 2014 single “Uptown Funk”, which blew up in popularity after it topped various charts globally.
*Sasha moves up 3 on Rhythmic with “Dat Sexy Body” (at #47). It uses the Bookshelf riddim, which was used in the 2000 Sean Paul single “Deport Them”. A remixed Spanish language version of the track featuring Ivy Queen was also released. Similar to Lady Saw, Sasha later switched to gospel music.
FLASHBACK:
On 6/20/03, NYC-based r*p group FannyPack debuted on CHR with “Camel Toe” (debuted and peaked at #48). They consisted of r*ppers, Jessibel Suthiwong, Belinda Lovell and Cat Hartwell as well as producers Matt Goias and someone under the name “Fancy”. Never heard of this group or that track until 2022 but when first hearing it, my immediate reaction (and im sure a lot of people’s during that time): WTF did I just listen to?!!!

Uptown Funk may have been his big hit but I liked Ooh Wee with Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan & Nate Dogg it was a jam.
I also noticed there were less censored versions of Get Low & Shake Ya Tailfeather where balls was just blanked before being changed to The Sweat Come Down & Fall in a cleaner version & the edited the F words in Tailfeather but the S word halfway through slipped by.
Also, am I the only one that didn't miss the same old overplayed song on the America's Top Hits segments. I wonder if they ended in January 2003 because they knew he was thinking about retiring.

9/30/00 insight:
*Dream debuts “He Loves You/U Not” (#40). They self-released their demo tracks on 3 EPs: Daddy’s Little Girl, Dream Never Land and Dream Back To You, all 3 were available on Apple Music.
*The Corrs move up 1 with “Breathless” (#39). Still have no idea how this resurged 5 months later but it was their first Top 40 track since their 1995 debut “Runaway”, which, like this track’s initial run, didn’t last long.
*Eve 6 falls 1 with “Promise” (#36). Their second album Horrorscope apparently had inspiration from Lit’s A Place in the Sun.
*Ruff Endz moves up 4 with “No More” (#32). Kasem tells a piece on the duo performing at a Baltimore-based candy shop called The Fudgening, which also was a frequent venue for fellow R&B group Dru Hill.
*Kasem tells a piece on the teen drama Dawson’s Creek, which centered on the namesake character and his friends as they deal with topics teenagers deal with often.
*One of this week’s ads was for Sunny Delight, a drink that came in 2 flavors, (Florida style and California style), which had conflicting reports on how those were named (some said their taste and texture, which was accurate, and others say the oranges used in manufacturing). The drink is still sold today but does not use the 2 flavoring names.
*Fastball holds with “You’re an Ocean” (#25). They recently released their 8th album The Deep End, after starting a fundraiser on Patreon.
*Kasem tells a piece on the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, whose original frontman Phil Lynott was of Guyanese descent through his father. The band was known for their 1976 single “The Boys Are Back in Town”, which was used in various media.
*Baha Men moves up 3 with “Who Let The Dogs Out” (#19). Their name is a reference to the Bahamas, where the group is based in. Also, pretty sure they’re the first and only Bahamian act to chart on the Top 40.
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Dido moves up 4 with “Here With Me” (#44). This one appeared on the bubbling unders for quite some time so it took them quite a bit to chart here.
*1 + 1 bubbles under with their remake of The Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb” (WAYV add; 17 adds on CHR). Very interesting they went with a club sound for this cover. It had a mixed reception.
*Boxer Oscar de la Hoya bubbles under with his cover of the Bee-Gees’ “Run To Me” (5 adds on CHR). His namesake album went Platinum (1M sold) and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album.
*Zombie Nation bubbles under with “Kernkraft 400” (1 add on CHR). It is synonymous with sporting events, with spectators changing along with the track. Also, the track’s wiki article stated that a Rhythmic station in Chicago was the first in the US to play the track (in 2001), which after seeing this being added, I’d say it’s not accurate but again, not too sure if these “adds” even get spins so can’t say for sure.
*Another track that I think came out a couple weeks or so later was Kathie Lee Gifford’s “Love Never Fails”. When first seeing an ad for this track, I had NO IDEA that was actually the Regis & Kathie Lee co-host and not some random teenager with that same name (as she looked slightly younger on the ads). Also purely coincidental that this released a few weeks after Gifford left the aforementioned show.
*Eminem moves up 1 on Rhythmic with “The Way I Am” (at #7). This was one of his more serious tracks, which tells about negative experiences in his career.
*(Lil) Bow Wow moves up 1 on Rhythmic with “Bounce with Me” (at #18). Featuring R&B group Xscape, It topped the Urban charts (both the R&B/Hip-Hop and R*p charts) for a few weeks but can’t say for sure if he was the youngest act to do so on that chart (as he was 12-13 when it released).
*DMX moves up 2 on Rhythmic with “What These B**ches/They Really Want” (at #21; 1 add on CHR). Hardly remember this track but the clean version was reworked a bit. The track also featured names of 43 different women DMX was associated with, which was later used as a TikTok meme where women used a different hairstyle corresponding with the names.
*Madison Avenue falls 6 on Rhythmic with “Don’t Call Me Baby” (at #49; 3 adds on CHR). I find it interesting and hilarious that this track spent 14 weeks on Rhythmic (Top 20 IIRC) but was a flop on CHR, same with Fragma’s “Toca’s Miracle” by extension.

10/17/98 insight:
*Kasem thanks Ed McMann for filling in last week, a gesture rarely done during the shows.
*Britney Spears debuts “Hit Me Baby One More Time” (#39). Excerpts from her memoir, titled The Woman in Me, which releases next week, were revealed by People magazine, including Spears’ dating history, why she shaved her head in 2007 among others.
*Kasem tells a piece on Five being described as a male version of the Spice Girls due to their similar styles.
*Usher falls 3 with “My Way” (#33), from the namesake album. Kasem mentioned that Usher owned 20 pairs of Hush Puppies, a brand of shoes what were popular during this time.

*Fastball falls 2 with “The Way” (#28), while also bubbling under with the follow up “Fire Escape” (2nd Most Added w/41 adds).
*One of this weeks ads is for Premsyn PMS, a medication used to relive period symptoms, including cramps. I have no idea if it’s still sold today but similar medications exist. Ironically, it was preceded by another ad for Rejuvex, a supplement for menopause.
*INOJ falls 2 with her cover of “Time After Time” (#23). The latest acts to cover the song are the Dutch acts Dash Berlin and Dub Vision, featuring Australian act Emma Hewitt.
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Nicole Wray moves up 1 with “Make It Hot” (#42). A protege of Missy Elliott, Wray’s vocals were used in Elliott’s single “Up On My Grill”.
*Sweetbox falls 3 with “Everything Is Gonna Be Alright” (#48). The instrumental samples the Bach piece “Suite #3”.
*Japanese duo Dreams Come True released their English debut “Song of Joy” this week on CHR and Rhythmic. They consist of Masato Nakamura and Miwa Yoshida. Interesting that the track had ads on this week’s R&R issue in both English and Japanese, even though it would end up with almost no airplay (haven’t seen any adds for this one on both formats).
*Dru Hill moves up 3 on Rhythmic with “How Deep Us Your Love” (at #10). This one is a remixed version featuring Redman for the film Rush Hour.
*Nicole Wray also moves up 7 on Rhythmic with “I Can’t See” (at #39). It features Mocha, who was also featured on the aforementioned preceding track “Make It Hot”.
*Voices of Theory hold on Rhythmic with “Wherever You Go” (at #43; 4 adds on CHR). It is a follow-up to their sole Top 40 track “Say It (Dimelo)”.

10/27/01 insight:
*Matchbox 20 falls 1 with “Last Beautiful Girl” (#39). The 4th and last single from Mad Season, it is their lowest charted track to date.
*Nickelback debuted their first single “How You Remind Me” (#37). Kasem tells a piece on how the band got the name, which was a result of a visit from a local Starbucks.
*Brian McKnight’s 1999 Top 3 track “Back at One” was played as the 1st LDD.
*Missy Elliott moves up 2 with “One Minute Man” (#32). This was one of several tracks where Elliott “sings” instead of her usual r*pping. Also, Trina is not mentioned this week. The preceding single, “Get Ur Freak On”, also received +35 new spins on Rhythmic (holding at #25 on its 33rd week).
*Pink debuts “Get the Party Started” (#31). It was the first single of her transition to pop/rock from her initial R&B.
*Bon Jovi’s 2000 Top 20 track “It’s My Life” was played during an ATH segment.
*Kasem tells a piece on the history of the patriotic song “God Bless America”, originally written for a musical in 1918. The song was then re-written in 1938, several years before WWII. Proceeds from royalties went to the Boy and Girl Scouts.
*One of this week’s ads is for a hands-free headset claiming to protect the user from radiation (specifically RF radiation) when using a cell phone. Studies linking cell phone use to cancer are pretty much inconclusive.
*All-Star Tribute/Artists Against AIDS Worldwide move up 1 with their cover of Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” (#25). Kasem tells a piece on the track’s original namesake album on the brink of not releasing due to the album’s political themes possibly risking Gaye’s career.
*Enya holds with “Only Time” (#21). Her 1989 Top 40 track Orinoco Flow was remastered using Dolby Atmos audio, which released in June 2023 on Apple Music.
*Kasem tells a piece on facts about ants, including the history of ants, how much ants can carry and the number of species of ants there are.
*Mary J Blige moves up 9 with “Family Affair” (#14). It would later become her highest charted track since her 1992 Top 5 debut “Real Love”.
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*WKSZ in Appleton, WI adds 60 tracks this week, including some already charting this week or already charted. 2 Rhythmic stations in NC (WCHH and WQSL) also added a good chunk of tracks as well. Newly flipped stations or even newly commissioned stations is my guess.
*Ruff Endz falls 2 on Rhythmic with “Cash, Money, Cars, Clothes” (at #36). The track received 0 new plays this week, something that rarely happens.
*Ludacris debuts on Rhythmic with 2 tracks, “Rollout (My Business)” (at #48) and “Fatty Girl” (at #49).

11/6/99 insight:
*Kid Rock debuts “Cowboy” (#39). It was his debut on CHR, while also was widely regarded as the first song in the “country r*p” sub-genre.
*Fatboy Slim moves up 2 with “Rockafeller Skank” (#38). His preceding single “Praise You” was recently remade by Albanian-British act Rita Ora under the title “Praising You” (also featuring Fatboy Slim himself), peaking at #23 on CHR.
*Paula Cole falls 3 with “I Believe in Love” (#37). Her latest album American Quilt mainly consists of covers of older Americana and jazz songs, in which Cole grew up with.
*Sarah McLachlan’s 1997 Top 15 track “Building a Mystery” was played as an Extra. Kasem tells a piece on McLachlan receiving praise from Stevie Nicks, who she idolized.
*Dee-Lite’s 1990 single “Groove Is In The Heart” was played during an ATH segment. It was a #1 on the Dance Club charts. They consisted of DJ Dimitry Brill, Towa Tei, Keirin Kirby (under the name Lady Miss Keir) and DJ Ani Schempf.
*Kasem tells a piece on Robbie Williams’ approach to pop music, saying that he wanted a more lighthearted tone than a serious tone.
*Will Smith debuts “Will 2K” (#28). His album Willennium and this track is a reference to the forthcoming year 2000.
*Lenny Kravitz falls 1 with his cover of “American Woman” (#23). Kasem tells a piece on the Guess Who falling out of relevancy after being discovered that they weren’t a British rock band, which lead them to record “American Woman”.
*One of this week’s ads is for a campaign called Are You (or R U) Into It?, which was aimed for kids to volunteer in various functions. Another ad features Jeep, a brand name of SUVs best known for the Wrangler, which was modeled after the military truck the Willys MB. They also released the Grand Cherokee and the Wagoneer, both marketed as “luxury-style” SUVs. All three models are still produced today, with the Wagoneer returning recently as a redesigned SUV.
*Kasem tells a piece on a poll by US magazine ranking the best and worst dressed celebrities, with Jennifer Lopez voted as best dressed. Lopez also moves up 6 with “Waiting for Tonight” (#9).
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Shaggy falls 2 with “Hope” (Dropper; #41). The other Dropper this week was LFO’s “Summer Girls” (#47).
*Selena’s widower Chris Perez falls 5 with “Best I Can” (#48). After performing with Kumbia Kings (and it’s later spin-offs), Perez later formed his namesake duo, alongside singer Angel Ferrer.
*Ricky Martin holds with “La Copa de La Vida/The Cup of Life” (#49). The track managed to gain 124 spins and 3 adds this week, which probably was by newly added stations.
*Tom Petty and his namesake band bubble under with “This One's For Me” (2 adds on CHR). It is the second to last single from the album Echo, which sold 500K units (Gold in the US).
*Lots of adds this week recorded from 4 stations (WTAP, WKIE, WVYB and KKDM; all of which are new CHR stations), while 2 stations flipped to other formats (WTCF to Rhythmic, WMEE to Hot AC).
*Another up and coming track at the time was Elsie Muniz’ “Your Eyes/Tús Ojos”, which released to Rhythmic radio not long ago. It received substantial airplay on The Box, an OTA TV channel focused on viewer-requested music videos. The track never took off (it did apparently chart on the Dance Club charts) and fell into obscurity until recently, where the track can be found on YouTube. Personally been looking for this track for years until finally finding it very recently.
*Eve falls 1 on Rhythmic with “Gotta Man” (at #11; 1 add on CHR). It was the second single from her debut album Ruff Ryders’ First Lady and a follow up to “What Y’all Want” (at #28).

12/9/00 insight (Ed McMann chart):
*David Gray debuts “Babylon” (#38). 2 versions of this track were used, this one is a shorter, tweaked radio version used for the American market, while a hybrid of this and the original version existed.
*Spice Girls move up 3 with “Holler” (#37). While technically the first single from Forever, their 1998 single “Goodbye” was included in the album.
*Usher holds with “Pop Ya Collar” (#36). McMann tell a piece on the track’s name, which was derived from an act of boasting someone’s success. It originated by r*pper E-40 in the 90s.
*Madonna debut’s “Don’t Tell Me” (#34). A hybrid country-dance track and the follow-up to “Music” (#13), it was her 48th Top 40 track (of 57).
*McMann tells a piece on Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian engineer known for the invention of the radio. Kasem would tell this piece again a few years later.
*One of this week’s ads is for Telocity, an ISP that used a DSL connection (at the time supporting fast internet speeds, up to 140mbps). The ISP was acquired by DirecTV 4 months later and was renamed DirecTV DSL in July 2001.
*Jennifer Lopez debuts “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” (#27). It is the first single from JLo, named after a nickname she uses.
*Mikaila moves up 2 with “So In Love With 2” (#26). Her namesake album is available on streaming services, while physical versions of the track can be found as cheap as $5.
*Vitamin C holds with “The Itch” (#23). McMann tells a piece on the Mattel doll modeled after the singer, which was mentioned a while ago on another piece but it seems it came with 3 hair colors (orange, red and purple), although we mainly seen the actual singer in orange-yellow hair (most of the time).
*Ricky Martin falls 5 with “She Bangs” (#15). He was recently involved in a lawsuit against his nephew, who accused him of incest. A month after the nephew dropped the lawsuit, Martin sued him for false accusations.
*McMann tells a piece on a compilation album called Mantra Mix, in which proceeds from the sales went to charities helping Tibetan refugees. It featured songs by Madonna, Peter Gabriel, Sinead O’Connor, Moby, Fatboy Slim among others.
*Dream moves up 3 with “He Loves U Not” (#12). The “U” is also written on the track’s name as the standardized “You”, reflected on the streaming versions.
*Shaggy moves up 6 with “It Wasn’t Me” (#8). It was his first Top 10 but not his first #1.
OUTSIDE AT40/BEYOND THE TOP 40 (R&R):
*Christina Aguilera falls 4 with “Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)” (#28). Her recent post on TikTok showcasing a new look was met with shock by fans, who thought it was not actually her.
*Baha Men falls 6 with “Who Let the Dogs Out” (#37). This was the final week on this chart before leaving overall after a 20 week run.
*Sisqo falls 14 with “Incomplete” (Dropper; #46). This was his last charted track to date, while his next single “Dance With Me” would get some CHR adds.
*Yolanda Adams bubbles under with “Open My Heart” (WAYV add; 2 adds on CHR). As with Mary Mary’s “Shackles (Praise You)”, the track received mainstream recognition by non-Christian audiences, reaching the Top 10 on the R&B chart.
*Son By Four bubble under with “Cuando Seas Mía/Miss Me So Bad” (1 add on CHR and Rhythmic). It was featured on their English album Purest of Pain (named after the preceding single, which charted on Rhythmic), with the Spanish version, which was a #1 on the Latin chart, being used in a telenovela which also used the track’s Spanish title.
*Richard Lugo bubbles under with “Boom” (2 adds on CHR; 7 adds on Rhythmic). This one took quite a bit to chart, as it would barely do so a couple months later on Rhythmic.
*Big Tymers and Hot Boys, under the name Cash Money Millionaires, move up 8 on Rhythmic with “Project B**ch/Chick” (at #34). It was a track from an indie film made by Cash Money Records titled Baller Blockin’.
*Doggy’s Angels move up 10 on Rhythmic with “Baby If You’re Ready” (at #39). A female r*p trio formed by Snoop Dogg consisting of Chan Gaines (Big Chan), Kim Davis (Coniyac) and Kola Marion (Kola Loc), they didn’t last long after a lawsuit by Columbia Pictures claiming that the cover of their album Pleezbaleevit! plagiarized the film poster of Charlie’s Angels, which released around the same time as the album. As for the track, it was a #1 on the Urban chart.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Usher song ended up never being on an album as the album it was supposed to be on got delayed & his next album didn't include it after it wasn't a very big hit not even hitting the Top 40 on the Hot 100.

Did anyone notice that Casey mentioned Billboard in the year end special? I think that was the first time he had done so since 1988.

2/10/01 insight:
*Nelly Furtado debuts “I’m Like a Bird” (#40). It would actually drop out of the chart for a week, only to return with success.
*Mya debuts “Free” (#39). The follow-up to “Case of the Ex” (#7), it appears on the soundtrack to the film Bait.
*Moby and Gwen Stefani of No Doubt debut “Southside” (#38). It was Moby’s first and sole Top 40 track to date, while it is his second track on the CHR chart (following “Bodyrock”).
*Ja Rule falls 1 with “Between Me and You” (#36). He recently signed to an unannounced new label, which lead to intense skepticism.
*Lee Ann Womack moves up 4 with “I Hope You Dance” (#34). Kasem tells a piece on Womack’s first attempts to start a country music career, even dropping off demo tapes to different labels while pushing her baby daughter on a stroller.
*Dexter Freebish moves up 1 with “Leaving Town” (#32). A rare occurrence, four tracks played during the 3rd slot of the first hour.
*Dido moves up 2 with “Thank You” (#28). Kasem tells a piece on her preceding single “Here With Me”, which was used as the theme song for the short-lived TV series Roswell.
*Faith Hill falls 2 with “The Way You Love Me” (#25). Country singer Carly Pearce most recently teased a potential single featuring Hill, who served as an inspiration for Pearce.
*Third Eye Blind’s 2000 single “Deep Inside of You” was played as the 2nd LDD request. This was requested by a young woman who contemplated taking her own life due to emotional problems, who then decided to reconsider after a childhood friend sang the track to help her overcome her emotional distress. Kasem would then direct viewers who (or their loved ones) are going through emotional distress to a suicide hotline.
*ATC moves up 3 with “Around The World (La La La)” (#23). Their follow-up would be “Why Oh Why”, released to CHR with no success.
*Nelly falls 4 with “E.I” (#22). Kasem tells a piece on different hip-hop slang words used in St. Louis.
*Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera moves up 10 with “Nobody Want’s To Be Lonely” (#19). After hearing Kasem’s piece on Aguilera cancelling a fan chat to record this version, this tells that it was done last minute.
*Pink falls 1 with “You Make Me Sick” (#16). It was a Top 10 in New Zealand and the UK. It was also one of 2 Pink tracks to release on Urban radio (including her debut “There You Go”.
*Shaggy moves up 10 with “Angel” (#11), the follow-up to “It Wasn’t Me” (#4).
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*The Corrs re-enter with “Breathless” (#43). It would re-enter AT40 next week with a more successful run than its first.
*Blessid Union of Souls move up 5 with “Storybook Life” (#44). As said earlier, it was one of the new tracks from their namesake greatest hits album, which primarily consists of their singles.
*French Affair bubbles under with “My Heart Goes Boom (La Di Da Da)” (2 adds on CHR; WZBZ add; 3 adds on Rhythmic). Named as such due to frontwoman Barbara Alcindor being from Paris, the German-based group released an all-French language album in 2008 titled Rendezvous.
*McAllen, TX CHR station KBFM added MDO’s “So Hard to Forget”, the English version of “Te Quise Olvidar”, which was a #1 on the Latin chart. It would be the sole add for the single. As for the group, it is an off-shoot of Menudo with rotating members.
*Fredro Starr bubbles under with “Shining Though” (2 adds on Rhythmic; 1 add on CHR). It was the theme to the film Save the Last Dance.
*Kumbia Kings bubble under with “Say It (A Million Times)” (3 adds on Rhythmic). It is a follow-up to their 2000 Rhythmic Top 40 track “U Don’t Love Me”, from which this track uses a similar R&B sound.
*Mystikal moves up 3 on Rhythmic with “Danger” (at #7). The track was recently used by John Oliver’s satirical news show Last Week Tonight, in reference to Anthony Weiner’s mayoral campaign.
*Louchie Lou & Michie One fall 1 on Rhythmic with “10/10” (at #38; 3 adds on CHR). Interestingly, this would later re-release on CHR in October, again with no success (this was due to their album 7 Years of Plenty, largely a compilation album for the American market, releasing that month).
FLASHBACK: A couple months ago (11/00), WZBZ added the operatic single “Spente Le Selle”, performed by French opera act Emma Shapplin. When first seeing this, I immediately assumed, like Delerium’s “Silence” (3 adds on Hot AC) 2 weeks ago, that it was a remixed version, after seeing one was released in December under the name Opera Trance. Pretty sure (AFAIK) it was the only add for this track.

On the 2/22/97 CT40 today before Gina G David Perry mentioned stations & said WKZW 94.3 Peoria Illinois. I listen to them in the 80's & early 90's when they went as KZ93 & they aired AT40. They must've picked up CT40 somewhere along the way & dropped AT40.

2/26/00 insight:
*Creed moves up 2 with “Higher” (#38). It was their debut CHR track and one of their most successful.
*Jennifer Lopez, Fat Joe and Big Pun debuts “Feels So Good” (#37). This version would be replaced by the solo version in a few weeks time.
*Foo Fighters falls 2 with “Learn to Fly” (#30). Their recent album But Here We Are was met with very positive reception as well as many award nominations.
*Mariah Carey, Joe and 98 Degrees move up 2 with “Thank God I Found You” (#29). Kasem tells a piece on Carey suffering from insomnia as a child.
*Amber moves up 2 with “Sexual (Li Da Di)” (#27). She recently released newly remixed versions of several of her singles, including this track. Despite only getting 84 new plays, it was a Breaker track this week.
*Enrique Iglesias falls 6 with “Rhythm Divine” (#26). He is working on Volume 2 of his last album Final, the first of which released in September 2021.
*Kid Rock moves up 5 with “Only God Knows Why” (#25). He wrote most of the track while serving a jail sentence due to an altercation in 1997.
*Madonna moves up 10 with “American Pie” (#24). Can’t recall if this was the last week the Humpty Vission remix was used. Vission also hosts a mix show on Sirius XM, called Power Tools, a show he hosted since 1992, starting on FM radio.
*Kasem tells a piece on a San Francisco hotel asking Carlos Santana to design a namesake suite.
*Santana’s namesake band moves up 2 with “Maria Maria” (#23). It first released on Rhythmic and Urban radio in September, releasing in CHR months later.
*KLCM (now KQPZ), a classic rock station in Lewistown, Montana, broadcast AT40 (mentioned during the 2nd Great Radio Stations plug). Very intreresting that American stations that aren’t CHR or Rhythmic broadcast the show, which is common for overseas affiliates (including that Bulgarian station mentioned on the 1st plug).
*Marc Anthony falls 3 with “I Need to Know” (#15). It was also played during the Walmart ad promoting his namesake English album.
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Bosson holds with “We Live” (#42). From the album One In a Million, a remixed version of the namesake track (for the film Miss Congeniality) would release a year later on CHR, with no success.
*British blues-leaning rock band Alabama 3 (under their American moniker A3) bubbles under with “Woke Up This Morning” (1 add on CHR and Rhythmic). Originally released in 1997, this is the Chosen One Mix used here, which, aside from The Sopranos (and it’s prequel film The Many Saints of Newark), was used in other films and TV shows.
*Sam Licata, under the name Phoenix Stone, bubbles under with “Nothing Good About Goodbye” (6 adds on CHR, 1 add on Rhythmic). He was a member of the Backstreet Boys during the group’s early years, before embarking on a solo run. He’s now a country act. As for the track, it was a Sure Shot on Dees' WT40 despite it, like “Woke Up This Morning”, not making the Top 50, with Dees (jokingly) calling Licata a “loser”.
*Steps bubble under with “Tragedy” (1 add on CHR). It was their second attempt to crack the American radio charts after the Tony Moran-remixed version of “One For Sorrow”.
*Brian McKnight debuts on Rhythmic with “Stay Or Let It Go” (at #39). It is the second single from the album (and follow up to it’s namesake single) “Back At One” (#12).
*Bone Thugs move up 6 on Rhythmic with “Resurrection (Paper, Paper)” (at #43). The track was beloved by fans of the group, despite its lukewarm success.
*2 re-entries on Rhythmic: Lil Wayne's “Tha Block Is Hot” (at #49) and Santana’s #1 track “Smooth” (#9; #50 on Rhythmic). Both look to be heading to recurrent status.

3/2/02 insight:
*Nelly Furtado moves up 1 with “Sh** On the Radio (Remember the Days)” (#39). The track had more success overseas, reaching the Top 10 in her family’s native Portugal as well as in New Zealand.
*Cher falls 1 with “A Song for The Lonely” (#38). She is set to receive the Icon Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on April 2024.
*Outkast moves up 3 with “The Whole World” (#36). Kasem tells a piece on Big Boi’s secondary career, dog breeding, due to his love for dogs.
*Gorillaz move up 1 with “19-2000” (#35). This must be the first week that the Soulchild remix was used, after the original was first used.
*Darren Hayes of Savage Garden moves up 2 with “Insatiable” (#31). He recently divorced his husband due to irreconcilable differences, while the 2 remained friends.
*Kasem tells a piece on Galileo, the astronomer who discovered several stars in the galaxy, including moons of Jupiter, the Milky Way, Venus and the rings of Saturn.
*Kasem tells a piece on the history of sampling, a technique used by acts that borrows snippets from other songs and media. A comedy single by Dickie Goodman was known to be one of the first acts to use the technique.
*Toya falls 1 with “I Do” (#18). Had no idea she was a fan of acts such as the Beach Boys, RHCP and the Supremes.
*Kasem answers a listener question regarding which song title was #1 the most times, which, at the time, the most a song title reach #1 was twice.
*One of this week’s ads is for Pampers’ Easy Ups, a brand of training pants that was released to compete with the Pull-Ups line. The brand is still sold today, while Pampers also recently released a line of bed wetting pants called Ninjamas (to compete with Pull-Ups’ Goodnites line).
BEYOND THE TOP 40:
*Blink-182 holds with “First Date” (#44). The video for the track pays homage to the 1970s, even featuring the group performing in a retro Volkswagen van.
*Glenn Lewis moves up 1 with “Don’t You Forget It” (#46). The track won a Juno award for Best R&B Recording and was also a Top 10 on the R&B/Urban charts.
*DJ Encore and Engelina Larsen move up 3 with “I See Right Through to You” (#47). After recording DJ Encore’s album Intuition, Larsen has since focused on her songwriting, working with acts such as Teddy Riley, Busta Rhymes, Basshunter, Kylie Minogue among others.
*M2M debuts on CHR Indicator with “Everything” (#48). It would have been their first Top 40 track since the 1999 single “Don’t Say You Love Me”, with the track not making it to the Top 40.
*Rock band Tantric bubbles under with “Mourning” (8 adds on CHR). They gained some popularity after their 2004 single “Chasing After” was used in several WWE video games.
*Chris Isaak bubbles under with “Let Me Down Easy” (1 add on CHR). He maintains the rock and roll style to this day, even on his most recent album First Comes the Night.
*WKTU, a well-known Rhythmic Hot AC station in NYC, added Pink’s “Don’t Let Me Get Me” (#40), Marc Anthony’s “I Need You”, Celine Dion’s “A New Day Has Come” and Res’ “They-Say Vision”. Very interesting adds considering, in the case of “A New Day Has Come”, is a much slower track that wouldn’t really fit Rhythmic (unless they used a remixed version).
