Does anyone have any clue on if they're gonna bring back a 90s countdown to the 90s channel? Us Sirius users got screwed on this and it seemed like XM had the right thing going. And of course not too long after the channel merge, the 90s countdown is gone. I'm assuming their contract with Rick Dees ended, but it can't be too tough to put together a countdown a week.

The Rick Dees contract ended? That's the only countdown they've ever had on that channel.

Nice way to resurrect a thread from 2009! That explains why I wasn't aware of a 90s countdown.

I get 8 or 9 ok.

And BTW,
28 Michael Bolton - Can I Touch You... There?

I don't know anything about the song, but the title alone is super creepy.

It's a trap. But yes, a double entendre "clickbait" title I'm sure.

Can I touch you there?
Touch you deep inside
Can I touch your heart?
The way you're touchin' mine

Is this an actual radio show countdown they're airing on 90's On 9 now? Or did you just post a chart from this week? I'm on 4 hours sleep, so my tired brain might've missing something.

Also - Jeezus, was I not paying attention to Top 40 radio at this point. I might know 10-12 of those songs, & mostly those that were played on rock radio.

I've always assumed that since the 90s countdown is done by one person, it's too much work to talk between every few songs for 40 of them, so they only do the top 30 so Ms Wubba doesn't collapse from being overworked?

I mean with Nina out last week, Mark and Alan had to do all of the talking. Evidently it was quite exhausting because for the first time ever they played #40 #39 and #38 in a row before someone came on and spoke again. They've always interjected after #39 in the past.

Two huge 80s acts bowing out. These are their last big hits. They each had one more top 40 that same year (#39 & #29) and that was that.
