The Retro Mix on WKUF

This week on The Retro Mix (which airs Fridays from 8 pm-11 pm EST), the spotlight will be on songs that peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Since I don't expect anyone to be a chart geek like me and know which songs just missed reaching #1, I'll also play some non- #2 songs as well. If you want to hear something, you can call the station at 810-762-9725 or send me a message during the show via this post.
