I remember when I received the commercial CD single in '91 it was mildly rechanneled. Blecch.

I've never heard this in stereo either.

I too heard right after that game that it was prerecorded to be sure it was perfect on the air. But really any fist level engineer could have added the applause to the stereo recording and released it that way.

This was a lip-synced performance, so the single is an "open air" recording of a studio track with the live audience interaction from Tampa Stadium at Super Bowl XXV. I'm assuming the single matches whatever audio was transmitted over television airwaves in early 1991.

It's a shame that they never released the original studio recording (like the b-side "America The Beautiful") but they probably didn't want to ruin the illusion of this having been a live performance.

I listened to this song on Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits cd again today and it sounds to me like it is a case of very poor stereo separation but I am certainly open to input from other members of this board as to whether they would call it mono. ]]> Mon, 25 Sep 2017 15:18:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=48180&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#48180 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=48179&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#48179 Author: NightAire

It is included in the database, as well as the 10th (and final) edition of the book, but only under the year 2001.]]> Wed, 30 Dec 2009 14:07:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=24707&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#24707 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=24702&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#24702 Author: edtop40

Well, the name of the website is "Top 40 Music on CD," so since Star Spangled Banner and the other country singles you mention were Top 40 on the Hot 100, it seems they ought to be in the database.

I do think for consistency's sake that, after Cash Box's demise, you should include the entire Top Forty of the Hot 100 in the database.

(Then, I also think you should add "Into the Groove," since it's been pretty well proven that it would have charted in the top ten if Billboard hadn't made the bad decision to disqualify it. But what do I know?)]]> Wed, 16 Aug 2006 23:29:22 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=6894&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#6894 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=6893&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#6893 Author: cmmmbase

In regards to Radio & Records, I seem to recall the Star Spangled Banner being considered a gold title during its 2001 run. At the time I was researching mainstream top 40 radio for mediabase 24/7, whose data R&R was basing their chart on. That's one reason why it didn't chart. Trust me, in the weeks after 9/11 it was played (though not as much as Lee Greenwood's God Bless The USA) on CHR

I entered the comment about this song not charting on the Cash Box charts in 1991 before I caught the comment by cmmmbase that Cash Box was not being printed in 2001 which is correct. I now recall looking for this song to show up on the R&R charts in 2001 after it entered the Billboard charts but as pointed out above it did not chart on the R&R chart and since I did not hear any radio airplay, I elected not to enter this song in the database even though it did eventually reach #6 in Billboard based on sales alone. This is a tough one to call but if there is a strong sentiment that it should be entered in the database I would oblige. In recent chart history there are many examples of primarily c&w songs that have charted from the number 30 to 40 positions on the Billobard Hot 100 that I have not included in the database for the same reason I did not include "The Star Spangled Banner" - they just didn't get any pop airplay.]]> Wed, 16 Aug 2006 22:06:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1313&PID=6892&title=whitney-houston-star-spangled-banner#6892
