It's Been a Year Since the "New York Top 500 Countdown" Was Gone From WCBS-FM

I know for those of you who used to listened to WCBS-FM where they used to have the "New York Top 500 Countdown" back when it was an oldies station. I missed the countdown shows when it was on Thanksgiving day at 1:01 PM Thursday until Sunday. That brings back a lot of memories of listening to CBS-FM where they put out the Top 500 songs ever made. They counted down from #500 "California Sun" by the Rivieras" all the way to "in the Still of the Nite" by the Five Satins, which was the #1 oldie of all time on WCBS-FM's "New York Top 500 Countdown". I have all the songs from the "Top 500 Survey" on CD, but it's perfect for my iPod.

So the "Top 500 Countdown" was gone from WCBS-FM last year, long live with their iPods. Anybody remembered that special show on Thanksgiving where they used to countdown the top 500 songs of all time in New York City?

Sure. Used to love it. "In the Still of the Night" #1. It was the Top 500 that intro'd me to many of the doo-wop songs.

This weekend, CBS-fm HD web stream is counting down the top 100 of each decade, 50's -80s, I believe.

Pretty soon, we'll be saying "it's been a year since there was a live DJ on ANY station"....

Sure, no DJs. But at least it's good music.

I'd love to hear Bob Shannon voicetrack it even. But, not gonna happen.
