All you have to do is look at who was the Billboard Chart Director during this time.

That alone doesn't explain "Nobody" missing the Top 10, though, not if it also didn't get there in R&R. Granted that's airplay-only, but my point is...if Cash Box was the only place where she did get there, then for chart director impropriety, it's there where I'd be looking as opposed to Billboard.  |

Granted that's airplay-only, but my point is...if Cash Box was the only place where she did get there, then for chart director impropriety, it's there where I'd be looking as opposed to Billboard. As far as the chart director is concerned, I wasn't talking about "Nobody" in particular, I am more surprised it reached the Top 10 anywhere as it was a country crossover, and while those did very well in the early 80s, Sylvia wasn't a well known artist outside the country realm. ...I was talking more about what djjoe1960 referred to: "Separately, these seven songs hit #1 on Cash Box during the National Music Survey period (5/30/81-3/5/83) and not on Billboard: "Elvira" (8/1/81!), "Theme From Greatest American Hero" (8/8/81), "Open Arms" (3/13/82, as heard recently on MERC as well), "That Girl" (4/3/82), "Hurts So Good" (7/24/82), "Gloria" (11/27/82), and "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" (2/26 & 3/5/83). Of those, Joey Scarbury, Journey, and Culture Club also hit #1 in R&R (Journey going for 7 weeks there enroute to snagging #1 for 1982), while the rest did not." |

I'd still say it's a wash as to that alone accounting for all of those.
"Elvira" stopped at #11 in R&R - maybe it was selling quite well, but it would appear to not have had the airplay to match. A nearly-identical example is "Take Your Time (Do it Right)" the previous year, which also topped Cash Box for a week but stopped at #3 in Billboard and only #12 in R&R.
"That Girl", "Hurts So Good", and "Gloria" were Cash Box-only #1s - and "Gloria" jumping 7-1 is certainly eyebrow-raising all by itself.
As to the other three, it could be as simple as they had the radio love, but were outmatched by bigger sellers, which would continue to happen multiple times over in 1983 and on. Only Journey would seem to be suspect even with that explanation, due to the 7 weeks atop R&R.

I thought the production in "Tell Me Where it Hurts" kind of reminded me of Celine's "If You Asked Me To", but that was produced by Guy Roche, whereas "Tell" was produced by Keith Thomas. "The End of the Innocence" stopped at #2 on Billboard, as "Right Here Waiting" spent 6 weeks at #1 there - but only 2 on R&R. That Shadoe ad that aired during the timeslot - that must have been a generic promo from later in his run, but retained for purposes such as right here as it can be used anytime. (Upon checking, all four promos in Wednesday's show reference specific acts.) There they go again relying on the R&R magazine issue date rather than a countdown date...at that point, the Weekly Top 40 would be the most-known countdown using R&R, and "Higher Love" didn't reach #1 there until August 30. ("#1 this week in 1986" should instead be "Papa Don't Preach".) Similarly, "Come Back to Me" actually works as the AC #1 for this week in 1990, but on CT40, it didn't reach #1 until the following week (August 25). Oddly enough, the second R&D "Man in the Mirror" would also come right after "I'll Remember" on CT40 (where it was #20). On AT40, this week's LDD was one of Casey's Biggest Hits - "When I Fall in Love". DEJA VU: Why yes, that Lenny Kravitz story should sound familiar - it was told just last week in the 4/21/01 show for "Fly Away"! And the K.D. Lang and Huey Lewis stories may each pop up later in the year as well, depending on which 1998 shows we end up getting. (Huey's, like Lenny's, would in fact be for a different song.) And it sounds like they played the album version of "Cherish" - there's a heavier layer of bass dubbing here than would usually be heard on AT40. |

MEANWHILE, IN BILLBOARD LAND... OK, I do have to preface this comparison by pointing out that any direct contrasts of the AC charts between Billboard and R&R are stilted for a couple of years in here, for different reasons: From July 17, 1993 through April 23, 1994, a monitored Billboard chart would be compared to a still-playlist-using R&R chart. From April 30, 1994 through September 30, 1995, a combined Billboard AC chart would be compared to R&R having divvied up their AC charts, into "regular" AC and Hot AC. (April 30 through October 29 in 1994 is the period where R&R has monitored airplay, but there is not yet a Casey's Hot 20 for the Hot AC chart.) Technically, Billboard didn't start publishing their Adult Top 40 until March 16, 1996, but apparently past charts before that were found and are available starting at October 7, 1995. In any case, the latter is why there will be dramatic chart differences. To start, here's what an "AT20" countdown would have looked like using their chart: 20 20 Steve Perry - You Better Wait 19 18 Richard Marx - Now and Forever 18 -- Amy Grant - Lucky One 17 17 Michael Bolton - Ain't Got Nothing if You Ain't Got Love 16 15 Phil Collins - Everyday 15 16 Bonnie Raitt - You 14 14 Ace of Base - The Sign 13 08 Joshua Kadison - Beautiful in My Eyes 12 12 Melissa Etheridge - Come to My Window 11 13 Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories - Stay (I Missed You) 10 11 Ace of Base - Don't Turn Around 09 10 Wet Wet Wet - Love is All Around 08 09 Richard Marx - The Way She Loves Me 07 05 Toni Braxton - You Mean the World to Me 06 07 Madonna - I'll Remember 05 06 Mariah Carey - Anytime You Need a Friend 04 04 All-4-One - I Swear 03 03 John Mellencamp & Me'shell Ndegeocello - Wild Night 02 02 Jon Secada - If You Go 01 01 Elton John - Can You Feel the Love Tonight (OFF: Stevie Nicks - Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind, down 19-23.) As you can see, just one song (also "Stay (I Missed You)") moved up more than a single notch!  Steve Perry reached #16 in R&R Hot AC and would reach #17 in Billboard - I don't know if he reached Casey's Countdown at all. "Ain't Got Nothing if You Ain't Got Love" was pretty much a rare AC flop for Michael Bolton, only reaching #13 on Billboard and lasting just 13 weeks, in stark contrast to the giant that was "Said I Loved You...But I Lied" and the still-sizable hit that was "Completely". The latter was R&R's AC #1 at the time of the April chart changes, reaching there on the last playlist chart and staying there for 3 more weeks - but it fared less well on Hot AC, only reaching #11 in a brief abortive chart run. On the combined Billboard, it reached #9 and was still hanging on this week (40-39 in its 24th and final week). "Everyday" was also in its 34th week on Billboard, but over there that tied with "Now and Forever". Richard kept him out of #1 there, but Phil would have the last laugh, finishing #1 for the year. (Oddly enough, in R&R, Richard would be #1 for 1994.) Phil's sole week at #1 was on the February 19 countdown - on Billboard, Richard kept him out of #1 in April. As it happens, Richard was the first Hot AC #1, but Phil managed to interrupt him for a week in May. (Would have been a May 14 countdown.) One last thing - this would be Richard's final week as he'd go recurrent the week after, but Phil would last for four more (which just might have been enough to make the difference in the year-end rankings). Kathy Troccoli was down 22-25, having reached #16. (She didn't touch the Hot AC Top 20.) Melissa was in her 17th week on Billboard, but she'd only reached the Top 20 a month before. She was also already at #5 on Hot AC (where she'd reach #2 for a week behind "Wild Night"). She would go on to reach #4 - and if you think she lasted long on Pop radio, chew on this: She wouldn't go recurrent off Billboard's AC chart until March 1995! Joshua Kadison was going in opposite directions on R&R's two AC charts - on Hot AC, he's up 5-4. On Billboard, he reached #4. (On Casey's Countdown, he was the first "new" #1 following the chart change, unseating "Completely".) Aretha was up 27-26, but wouldn't reach the Top 20, stopping at #22. (Like Kathy, she didn't touch the Hot AC Top 20.) "Now and Forever" was also down 17-19 on Hot AC, and would last just one more week in their Top 20. (Whereas "Everyday" would last for five more.) "Stay (I Missed You)" was holding at #12 on Hot AC - that would reach #5 both on that chart and on Billboard. Amy Grant leaped 33-18 on Billboard - while on Hot AC, this was actually her second week in the Top 20 (19-16). However, she'd only reach #5 there, while on Casey's Countdown, she'd spend 5 weeks at #1. On Billboard, she'd be the one to reach #2 for a week behind "Wild Night". Either "Don't Turn Around" was basically a flop at (regular) AC, or it was just pushed out for a week by Amy Grant's big debut - its Billboard ranking, above, mirrors its Hot AC ranking (where it holds at #11). It would reach #7 on Billboard and #9 on Hot AC. Meanwhile, this is the 26th week for "The Sign", which reached #2 for a week behind "I'll Remember". (On Hot AC, it holds at #15.) "The Way She Loves Me" would reach #3 on Billboard, and #6 on Hot AC (it goes 10-9 there this week). Don't know where it peaked on Casey's Countdown, outside of it didn't reach #1. Kenny Loggins was down 25-27. He not only didn't touch the Hot AC Top 20, he must have had like ZERO airplay on that side, as #25 was in fact where he peaked on Billboard. "Wild Night" was also holding at #3 on Hot AC. (The Top 3 on Billboard and R&R Hot AC are identical this week.) Over there, it would spend 4 weeks at #1, while on Billboard, it would go for 8 weeks there. On Casey's Countdown, I only know that it didn't reach #1 (but given the 8-week run atop Billboard, reaching at least #2 is a distinct possibility). Madonna slips 4-6 on Hot AC. "You" fared MUCH better at (regular) AC than on Hot AC - on Hot, it spent the next 3 weeks after this at #20. Given that, it should perhaps be no surprise that she was also peaking this week on Billboard. Wet Wet Wet would go just one notch higher on Billboard - but they'd last for the rest of the year on the chart. On Hot AC (where they were holding at #13 this week), they'd have a nearly identical fate, peaking at #9 (and also lasting the rest of the year). All-4-One reached #3 on Billboard. Toni Braxton had already been to #4 on Billboard - she peaked there a month and a half ago. Mariah Carey was peaking this week on Billboard - and on Hot AC as well, only there it was at #8. Jon Secada would spend ELEVEN weeks at #2 - never to hit #1. Elton would hold him off for the first six weeks, and then "Wild Night" jumped over. On Hot AC, he spent 5 weeks at #2, as Elton was able to keep him out of #1 single-handedly. He would only reach #1 on Casey's Countdown, two weeks later - for just that one week. (As it happens, it would be his one and only AC #1 of any kind.) Having said this, both he and "Wild Night" would last quite a long time on Billboard - all the way into April 1995, with Secada logging 50 weeks on the chart!! As for Elton, this was only his 7th week at #1 on Billboard - but much like with Casey's Countdown, he'd get just one more. |

Hope you all enjoyed my very first submission in the Listener Depot. From what I read, the chart they used is an in-house one and later on they would use Radio & Records. I think it was pretty close to the official chart anyway.

 Rocking America charts was NO 25 Ballerina Girl by Lionel Richie. "Ballerina Girl" is a 1986 song written and recorded by Lionel Richie. The song is a track from Richie's Dancing on the Ceiling album. "Ballerina Girl" peaked at number five on the soul charts. The song was also the last of Richie's eleven number ones on the Adult Contemporary charts, spending four weeks on top. "Ballerina Girl" peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1987. I went to the Lionel Richie concert in Kourakuen-Stadium Tokyo on May 22, 1987. His music sounded so powerful, and his singing voice was very wonderful. It was a powerful masterpiece. The balance with the band was also exquisite, and the wCrapping sound was well comfortable. With all the fascinating melodies that didn't feel old-fashioned, I realized once again that he was an excellent songwriter. These are my favorite songs. ★"Endless Love" with Diana Ross ★"Running with the Night" ★"Stuck on You" ★"Say You, Say Me" ★"Ballerina Girl" ★ "Do It to Me" ★"Angel" ★"I Call It Love" ★All Night Long 2011" (featuring Guy Sebastian) ★"Good Morning" By the way, I enjoyed Rocking America very much. I like Scott Shannon and Mr. Leonard.  |

 This is one of my favorites Lionel Richie's concert videos. It is The Festival Viña Del Mar concert live 2016 in Chile. When I watched this video, I remember that the day when He had concerts in Tokyo back in 1987, And It was awesome. He is one of the great singers. It is like going back in time to be when music was good unlike the music of today. I believe that he is a music legend. |

He was a nice enough guy to pose for pictures for lost of folks and sign a few autogCraphs on his way to his gate to catch his flight. Great memory. |

This would be it for Simply Red for a little over a decade, until "Sunrise" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New" gave them two more shots at the AC countdowns. For James Taylor, it would be five years until "Little More Time With You" gave him a substantial AC hit. For Glenn Frey, on the other hand, this would really be it, at least as a solo artist, outside of "River of Dreams" sneaking onto Casey's Countdown for 3 weeks in October. However, "Love Will Keep Us Alive" by the whole band getting back together would go on to be the #1 AC song of 1995. "Steel Bars" was more of an underperformer as opposed to an outright flop (like "Ain't Got Nothing..." from 1994), as it topped out at #6. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE: K.D. Lang, as we know, would reach the top the first week of October. In fact, the song she'd dethrone hasn't so much as even been released yet, if you can believe that.  (It was "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough".) Isn't it just something that the last song before the show started was "Orinoco Flow" - and then that gets used in Crystal Light commercials sent with the show? And speaking of commercials, you might have heard a blurb of sorts of "Tarzan Boy" in the Listerine ads - those, in combination with its use in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, would lead to its being re-released in the Spring of 1993, where it reached #51 on the Hot 100. This was the week before "This Used to Be My Playground" would leap 10-1 on CT40 - on the AC countdowns, it reached #4. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that "If You Go" was Jon Secada's only AC #1 - "Just Another Day" would spend 4 weeks at #2, behind "The One" and "Restless Heart". Guess which two songs ended up R&R's Top 2 AC songs of the year? |

Hope everyone's enjoying Listener Depot today! I know I am as it's been a while since a 2001 countdown has been able to be on! This 2001 countdown has been AWESOME so far! If this is CHR, I can't imagine what HOT AC would sound like. I miss the days of both formats being so similar. If David Lawrence hosted this countdown from 1999-2007, I would listen to any of his countdowns should they air again. Kudos to Netflix as well! Their commercials from 2001 crack me up, and they certainly were able to change with the times for the better! |

With this matching R&R, that makes it a companion piece to the 11/17/01 CHR show that aired back in November. "Sorcerer" would be the final countdown solo appearance for Stevie Nicks. She'd have two more with Fleetwood Mac in 2003. Bruce Hornsby being in the U.S. Music Spotlight is quite interesting if only for the fact that his most recent countdown appearance was 1995's "Walk in the Sun", which reached #10 on Billboard's AC chart and had to have hit somewhere around there in R&R as well - but more to the point, it was also his last. (Not unless "Dreamland", which stopped at #23 on Billboard, managed to sneak in during the guest-laden final year of the countdown in 2005.) Incidentally, "Mandolin Rain" barely made Billboard's Country Top 40, reaching #38 there. Last week, I mentioned additional tidbits that could be considered timely with 5/15/93 - among them, was that Dick Clark's base of affiliates tended to consist a lot more of medium- and smaller-market stations: Much like WHUD in New York's Hudson Valley, which I notice this is taken from. Perhaps it's no wonder, given the much more unrestricted musical choices put into a show like this one, namely songs you wouldn't be likely to hear again on the radio otherwise (specifically, "Love Will Conquer All" and "Leave a Light On"). The AC chart was prone to wild swings in airplay from week to week - case in point: Last week's biggest spin loser was "More Than That", down -227. This week, it re-gained +93. This week's biggest spin loser is "One More Day", down -294 - last week, that had gained +64. One other telling characteristic of the format by this time was when songs didn't really even get started here until they had pretty much finished their runs at CHR. Maybe the biggest case in point is "Never Had a Dream Come True". Ones like "Drops of Jupiter" might still have been considered a little "hot" for regular AC, and ones like "More Than That" would have started out in both places close to the same time but just lasted much longer here, but S Club 7 didn't hit AC until June, in the last month of their CHR run. "I Finally Found Someone" is an example of something that still happened from time to time - its being an R&R-only #1, as it stopped at #2 on Billboard (kept off the top spot by "Un-break My Heart"). I remember my CHR station playing "I'm Already There" in decent rotation, though that didn't make it out of New & Active over there. Notably, "Across the River" was one of two Bruce Hornsby songs to hit #1 on the Album Rock charts! (The other was "The Valley Road", which was not the only song in 1988 to top both Rock and AC.) I call them "Album Rock charts" as Billboard named it Album Rock Tracks, R&R named it AOR (Album-Oriented Rock). Let this version of "I Hope You Dance" serve as a reminder that there were three different versions out there, each one played by a different format. By the way, that was also the oldest song in the survey this week, this being its 50th week on the AC chart. Last week's oldest song is this week's sole dropper, as after 55 weeks, "This I Promise You" was off to Recurrent Land this week. (And that's another example of the week-to-week swings in airplay: It gained +125 spins last week, but to go recurrent this week, it would have had to have lost roughly half of that right back.) The only song in this week's Top 6 to not reach #1 was "All or Nothing" - on Billboard, that stopped at #4. Uhhhh...I think something got messed up at the end of this copy of the show. Any chance WHUD screwed up and accidentally played a segment from a prior week's show in this copy? #4, #3, and #2 match two weeks ago, but not last week. (Enya is #3 on last week's chart, #2 two weeks ago.) |

Though Scott Shannon´s rocking America top 30 countdown would have been popular in the USA for years it´s been total unusual that such a countdown show was played in Europe. I only know of OK Radio Hamburg who had Scott Shannon in Germany on their schedule. On the °American Forces Network" was only AT40, American Dance Traxx and Bob Kingsley, but no Scott Shannon on...Don´t know why this Show´s named " Scott Shannon´s all request Countdown" - maybe it´s been a special international version?! |

Scott Shannon's Rockin' America Top 30 Countdown. A top 30 countdown 3-hour show using its charts that have been broadcast on over 200 radio stations nationwide since 1984. After that, it was changed from the broadcast on September 4, 1987, to his CHR Top 30 chart program of Radio & Records. However, from the first half of 1990, it became Scott Shannon's All Request Top 30 Countdown and was broadcast until March 1992. |

This could almost be mixed up with being a CHR Top 20, even with six of the 20 not also being on this same week's CT40 - though, of those six, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" had fallen off there two weeks ago, while "Your Song" didn't actually chart there until May.
"Human Touch" also debuted at #38 on the CHR chart (CT40) and, on Billboard, at #21 on the entire Top 40 Radio Monitor (AT40).
Peter Cetera would, of course, go on to have a great next album later this year, at least at AC - if you remember, we got that album's biggest hit the last time we heard from Dick Clark in 1992. Incidentally, Peter and David Foster wouldn't actually team up for any songwriting on that album - instead, David would produce two tracks, one of which was "Even a Fool Can See", which reached #2 the following year. Ultimately, Peter would continue to have AC hits up to 2001's "Perfect World", which reached at least #14 on AT20. (The only chart from that period that I can verify is 5/19/01, which is where it's at that week - upon checking the R&R that corresponds to that same week, it was pushed back 18-19 there that week, so it almost certainly peaked higher on AT20 than in R&R/this countdown.)
Who would have guessed that Burt Bacharach would still be co-writing multiple countdown hits as far out as 1992? Even with it being AC. Dick noted "Obsession", while "Ever Changing Times" was with erstwhile partner Carole Bayer Sager as well as - get this: Bill Conti! But this was probably among the last if not the last work by Burt & Carole, as they would divorce during the summer of 1991 (the album "Ever Changing Times" comes from, What You See Is What You Sweat, was released June 25).
It sort of makes sense that the original version of "Everything Changes" (the one we all know being a remix for CHR) would be what gets played here.
This is "Stars"? I've definitely heard this song before, and not from a countdown.
"Missing You Now" would spend one more week stuck at #2 before finally giving it up - while on Billboard, this was instead its third and final week at #1! What happened? Well, Paul Young spent 4 weeks on top here, as opposed to just 2 on Billboard (the last two weeks of February), then last week Vanessa Williams took over and would also spend 4 weeks on top - on Billboard, she unseated Michael Bolton next week and spent 3 weeks on top there.
Incidentally: Eric Clapton would fly past Atlantic Starr and would spend 2 weeks on top - only for them to exact payback and knock him off the top so they could get a week themselves! (On Billboard, he got 3 weeks on top and would hold them to #2.)
"Not the Only One" was the only other song to debut on the AC chart this week - it would spend 3 weeks at #2, behind "Hazard" and "Hold on My Heart".

Adam31 - the new show didn't load. We are getting the same Dave Sholin 12/07/92 show we heard last week.

Sorry there's something about Holiday weekends that don't mesh well with me. The correct show is playing now and will play correctly at 8pm if you want to catch it then too!
