^Agreed. It sounded really half-assed without the rankings. The Top 100 of 2005 was Rick’s last 2 shows before leaving Premiere so he had no incentive for doing a good job, feeling like he had been burned with Ryan taking over his morning show at KIIS a year earlier.

I was glad to hear the 12/1987 show this week. I am not much of a fan of year end shows as most of the music on them are in regular rotation on classic music channels. So it was cool to get to hear a weekly show from 87 featuring the likes of "Motortown" (which is an awesome, under appreciated song you never hear nowadays), "Just Like Heaven", True Faith", "Animal", "Tunnel of Love", "I Want to Be Your Man", "Could've Been" and "Honestly" to name a few. And quite honestly, I loved all the songs on this countdown and liked the remixes done for a few of them as well. This is one show you cannot let go unheard.

KZOY is playing 01/09/1988 this morning. This show was last played in 2012. The Sure Shot is "Push It" by Salt n Pepa.
Edit: My guess is that Rick's inventory of 80s year end countdowns is pretty slim.

Edit: My guess is that Rick's inventory of 80s year end countdowns is pretty slim. This is disappointing to say the least as most of the same music was on last weeks 80s show. Love the music on it though, but was hoping for a 1989 show.

So they're not going to finish part II year end 2005? what a bummer.

Both the 1999 and 2003 shows are new to retro-Dees.

Cher is "kind of" a co-host this weekend in the 1999 show. She's not there that much, but Rick talks to her at least once an hour. Rick played "Believe" before it had made his chart. This show makes it easier to understand why Rick bumped "Believe" up to #1 for a week when it wouldn't have made it without his help. "Believe" is played at the end of hour 2.

This week's shows: January 9, 1988 January 2, 1999 January 4, 2003 All appear to be regular shows. Each have a SS. I believe that the 1/2/99 show has an interview with Rick and Cher, and a caller calls in saying her husband found Cher's wedding ring to Sonny Bono. The way it sounds on the show, it seems like an amazing "feel good story" where the woman is going to give it back, no questions asked. Like many of Dees intereviews, this was actually taken from KISS-FM, the station that Dees worked at for years. I believe it was done right before Christmas of 1998. In reality: the woman showed up with a picture of the ring when she met Cher. Cher also mentioned she was not going to pay for it during the press conference. I'm not sure what happened after, but an interesting time when Rick's "Weekly Top 40" was exposed for using segments that were not originally from the top 40 (nothing wrong with it, in my opinion. In fact we hear it all the time now on American Top 40).

I'm often not a fan of these types of remixes, but the 1/9/88 show had an interesting extended "Spanglish" version of "Catch Me (I'm Falling)". I didn't listen to the 1987 show last week (fine with me; this would be pretty redundant if I had), so maybe it was in there too? And 1/2/99 is as close to a regular 1998 show as we've gotten in years, following that year's summing up last week.

No, it was only heard in the 1988 show.

Rick actually left Premiere at the end of 2004 (and KIIS in March or April of '04) - his last WT40 with Premiere was the Top 100 of 2004, which is why it was a week earlier than the Casey and Ryan year end shows that year

There honestly may not have even been a Weekly Top 40 the weekend of Jan 1/2, 2005. Our affiliate played regular music for two weekends before Dees came back on the weekend of Jan 15/16.
And as for the original point - yes - the Top 100 of 2005 was awful and was (I believe) made entirely of recycled generic voicetracks

For the Bonus on the 80's show this week the app reads June 7, 1986 but Rick says it's the first weekend of Summer. Was the bonus really from June 21 (the actual first weekend of Summer)?
