Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
Nice. I love IT
'Y2K' - hmm, that makes me think that there'll be an entire channel dealing with that era soon enough.
This is a fantastic program. Strange that it's a month late.
"IT" is billed as playing every Top 40 song from every decade, but falls short. Two years ago, about 400-500 songs from the 1960s were missing. I know because I tracked every song and compared them to the Billboard charts of the time.

Does anybody know how I can get the list of these songs from begining to end?
At least this year I haven't heard the claim that every top 40 song will appear on "It." But I've noticed that the program's compilers have wisely included influential songs likeBeatles album cuts, monster R and B tunes which didn't have as much pop impact, etc.
I do wish they'd start the feature at different times of the day, since if you miss part of "It" one year, you'll be likely to miss it the next, to.
Excellent feature, and I never get enough of "It." The decade channels themselves should incorporate more of this variety in their day-to-day offerings.
I love lessoning to this every year. I will tell you it is quite overwhelming. I got so tired of lessoning to 60's and 70's music I had to go back to the present. If I were to time travel back there I would miss the music of the future.
I got my fix of the future music and back to 1973.
Note: IT plays more than just Top 40. They do the Hot 100 and Bubbled under charts as well. I followed along and found some things they played off the Hot 100. They may be combining other chart history as well, but hard to tell. I wish there was a list to follow.

I am getting so spoiled listening to IT. I love the whole y2k era. It'll blow having to go back to the boring XM programming after IT is gone!
