So April is a big month for MrZerr0, as Mr. Zer0's 55113 Roseville has their 17th Anniversary on 14 April 2026. The 19th annual "National Record Store Day" is 18 April 2026, (even though Mr. Zer0's Never makes the list for Top Record Stores, although understandably so As Mr. Zer0's $ELL$: VHS, DVDs, Laserdiscs, Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, Xbox, Atari, Vintage Toys Still In The Package and Shirts too, so perhaps the purists can not include us.

So as KISSin Time embarks on their 13th year we have 3 shows coming up. Since KISSin Time's inception a lot of people attending ask "Why don't you play the Hits" Now this has always been a bone of contention, what are the hits, because being in the Radio Business for the last 14 years, "Hits" are technically the songs that actually made the BillBoard Charts. Since the early 60s bands and artists filmed "Promo Videos" to send to TV Shows EX. The Ed Sullivan Show. However in 1977 Michael Nesmith filmed a video for his new single "Rio" and renamed it a "Music Video" then in 1979 Nesmith created the show "Pop Clips" which aired on Nickelodeon in 1980 to 1981 for 30 Episodes. Then Warner Cable bought the rights and created Mtv which launched in Aug 1981, and so now it seems most people refer to "The Hits" as IF They saw a Video for the song on Mtv or now on YouTube, Or what "They Remember" but the fact is "Hits" are what actually made the BillBoard Charts, then end.

So for this installment I decided to cover KISS' Videos, since that what people these days seem to call "The Hits"

You may notice, many songs with "Videos" were NOT on The BillBoard Charts, therefore they can not be "Hits" but more accurately should be referred to as the most "Popular Songs".
