Re: rage's reason for 'rage goes retro' in February as opposed to January
retro month isn't the same if it's not in January. It's an institution! Plus, January is a time when a lot of people are off work (or school, if you're a younger retro fan) - so have more time to relax and recover from sitting up all night on Saturday.
Surely rage have access to a list of unrepeated Countdowns. All they needed to do was pick 20 (about their average for a 5-weekend month) and let the archive/digitisation/rights clearance folk do their work. It could have been done in March.
Re: rage's reason for 'rage goes retro' in February as opposed to January
The main reason retro month (or as I like to call it Countdown) was in January because the music industry was in Hiatus with no new record releases, nothing new so we went retro. Come February too many factors will effect retro month and I guess we'll get a pretty poor 4 weeks.
