WCBS-FM Top 500 Labor Day Weekend 2013

[pjc1961]

Basically a reshuffle of the 2013 Memorial Day Weekend Top 500 list which was a reshuffle of the 2012 Labor Day Weekend Top 500 list.

Fans were allowed to vote online in random song vs. song competitions amongst the Top 20 songs from the 2013 Memorial Day Weekend list in order to reshuffle the Top 20 positions. The rest of the list is likely reshuffled by station management from the past two lists, accounting for the general blandness of the selections.

The Top 200 will air on Monday 9/2/2013 (Labor Day) from 6 AM - approximately 10 PM.

There are errors on the list posted on the www.WCBSFM.com website:
http://wcbsfm.cbslocal.com/2013/09/01/cbs-fms-complete-top-500-labor-day-weekend-countdown-for-2013/

- there are some songs listed with duplicate numbers or wrong numbers. Five selections that were skipped on-air on Sunday afternoon 9/1/2013 in the original run through the list due to time constraints (having to be done by 8 PM for the Dick Bartley CBS-FM Classic Countdown program). One selection was skipped on-air early Sunday morning 9/1/2013 likely due to a error at the restart of the countdown (wrong song listed on log from the previous evening?).

[Bruce Slutsky]

I remember the good old days when In the Still of the Night by the 5 Satins was always #1. Back then the countdown was for real. Those were the days

 

[luperm]

The countdown was no more "real" back then than it is now. It's not a scientific survey...and never was.
If you don't like the music, that's OK. But don't hold out the old "surveys" to be some sort of science.
