They really need to replace that "2001" sounder -- it was damn near unintelligible. Too robotic for its own good.

Can't say they're bringing anything new to this cover. It's pretty much note-for-note from the original version.

This week: 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001. I'm guessing we will not get 2011 tomorrow.

Yeah, it started great, then went to LNs, then to some awful songs*, then to a song I associate more with 2004.

*"How You Remind Me", while not spectacular, does not deserve the derision, IMHO

It shouldn't be, but with mid-90s sets and later it seems to be anyway.  For instance, AL's 3rd 97 set had 7 repeats from her first two.  ::)

and we can blame DC  and BP for some of that, but generally there is a much smaller pool because most pop and soul hits are not in the mix, sadly -- unlike '60s/'70s/early-'80s when anything that charted appears to be fair game. (I notice this with The Peak's '90s sets too -- they'll never play Hanson in a '97 set, for example, and avoid rap altogether).
