Q: I suggested that MWL set up a special retirement for Chris Cagle. Maybe
by early retirement where as a video with 50 to 55 days in the G8 and at least
10 days JMTGE the video would get retired. if that day the video is JMTGE then
play it as they would the debuts. they have some extra time. I also think they
should re-instate the top 10 and play 10 and 9 like they have been playing 8,7,and6
on Saturday nights. That way the videos would get counted to the retirement and
maybe Chris will be retired. Also have you noticed that no videos that debut
after the switch to the Great 8 has retired.
A: These are two ideas for the countdown that are great, and I wish that CMT
would listen to people like you who would like to see some change back to the way
things were. Another fun fact for you: Kenny Chesney's "Young" and Tim McGraw's
"The Cowboy In Me" will be the first two videos to be Just Missing The Great Eight
and still manage to retire. Every video up to these two have hit the JMTGE list
and staggered. Shocking, yet not surprising, really...
