I listened to 3 or 4 songs of the AC year end show this morning. Rick didn't give any chart info. The songs swept through with generic liners from Rick. One simply said "the hits were hot in 2017" and another was a generic fact about Bruno Mars. Every song had a Dees parody intro. And of course, the "Weekly Top 40" jingles on a show not called the Weekly Top 40, nor a show that features 40 songs.
Not sure what the regular Weekly Top 40 year end show sounds like this year. Hopefully better than this.

It usually does. The AC show is a top 20 I think (or was many years ago when I heard it) so it wouldn’t use a Top 40 jingle.

The Lite Dees ( RICK DEES AC (MAC version) ) started on July 25, 2009 and it was then a Top 30 , later it became a top 20( in the 1st week of january 2010) and despite the show, when rick.com was a way of listening to the shows, mentioned the rick.com thing , the lite dees was never possible via rick.com and it is not possible via rick dees apps. It is a strange show aimed to a public and stations I sometimes think they dont know about internet and modern life with apps.

WPNC is running Dees' #1 Songs of the 1980s show. Was that one ever run on his website?

Not since 2013, anyway - maybe it was run before that. I have the top #1 hits of the 80s special from 10/25/1986, which I recorded from his website in 2013.

My mistake - I meant the #1 songs of 1985, the one where he plays the songs in the order that they hit #1 (intermingled with a few near-miss songs).

Yes, I have that one as well - it's also in his repeat rotation. It's been featured every year since 2014. (2013 had the top 40 of 1987, which I have, but hasn't been featured since.)

God, I would love if they re-aired the Top 40 of 1987 but I doubt it’ll happen. They would rather just repeat the same shows over and over.

Yeah, I remember that one from its original run (though, since Dave Sholin's Countdown USA, which also used R&R, counted down the Top 87 of 1987, Rick Dees' 1987 year-ender was more or less a secondary listen) He had also featured the Top 40 of 1985, and the first half of the 1986 show. apparently, they don't have a clean copy of the second half, so that might be why they didn't feature that one, though it was somewhat pointless to air any of that show in the first place. Of course, maybe since they knew that a version of the Top 40 of 1986 could be found online and they decided that the first half was better than nothing. And, of course, at the end of 2011, they played the horribly produced Top 80 of the 1980s. For those who missed it, Rick played only drop pieces of certain songs, or faded them out halfway through, most of them early-80s hits that were seldom played at Top 40 radio at the time of the show (late 1989). In place of the songs not played in full, he played songs that were popular during 1989, which begs the question - why didn't Dees just do a Top 40 of 1989 and Top 40 of the 1980s, like Casey Kasem did? That would have made far more sense. Really - what's the point of doing a show with a full Top 80 chart if you're going to basically skip over half the songs? Indeed, it was difficult to take notes on that show (though, with help, I did manage). If you care to relive that madness, or weren't here the first time around, just go to page 12 in this topic - the discussion starts with the first post on that page (made by yours truly).

Yeah, I missed that 80s special...or should I say, I didn't miss it. Too many skips and partials for me. I got into his shows before I realized where Casey's shows were. ETA: Just read back in the earlier part of the thread that Hervard referenced. Holy cow, were things messed up. I guess I was really oblivious in 2013 when I was recording all those shows. Thank goodness I don't have the need for them now like I did then.

I hate that about the app.. Limited skips?? What's the point? Sometimes I listen to this app in my car while traveling long distances and when I hit a "dead spot" with no signal, the app will mess up and I'll have to reopen the window. This isn't fun when you were in the last hour of the show and you can't skip to it. Oh well, at least we have an app now. Can't complain too much I guess. I predict that 1/13/01 will be D2Ks first show.
