Michael
I had to start a new post and paste the Countdown playlists. Have to do the episodes justice on this forum even if we're not too happy with the nights programming and I liked how this was done here in previous years! Jason, hope you don't mind that I formatted it from the archives page to make it a bit easier on the eye. Cheers.

This was supposed to be THE first of the year that I
was going to copy and paste the info for the month's first Countdown's. I usually paste them on here every year but with the repeat I was just so B U M M E D about it. Least the other 2 are not repeats, was going to maybe put the info up later when I calmed down a bit. Thanks for putting the descriptions up for this weekend :-) As the other 2 episodes STILL deserve to be promoted here!
Good going Michael! :-)
GLAD we are at least getting the Sheena Easton episode!
Something to be thankful for :-)
