According to XMfan, there may be something for fans of Dees's shows from the 1980s. Click on the link below for information: www.rick.com/index.cfm?p=9Wow, cool! I listened to the show from February 16, 1985 the other night and was like, wow! I figured that it might go by the Cash Box charts, since I'd heard that they switched to the R&R charts in April, 1985. Perhaps it was April of 1984. I'm pretty sure they were going by Cash Box in December, 1984 because I heard part of a Rick Dees show around then and the chart they used was not R&R. |

I know Rick was still using Cash Box at the time of the 1984 year-end (as the chart matched Cash Box's year-end) but I know he'd switched to R&R likely in January 1985. |

That sounds logical. Most likely, he switched on the first regular show of the year.
Anyway, I was surprised that some of the sound effects we hear on his shows today were heard on that one as well. For example, that woman's voice that shouts, "IT'S HUGE!!" I always assumed that one was added sometime in the 1990s, since I don't ever remember it on any of the shows in the 80s (I started listening in late summer, 1986 - possibly they'd stopped using it then and then brought it back in the 1990s.)
The other sound effect was the wheezing laugh, which I heard twice on the 1985 show, including right at the very end, right when the show ended.
I presume that most, if not all, of the shows listed were the ones that were aired on XM. Too bad they never did the "Number Two Hits Of the 1980s" special from May, 1988. That's one I wouldn't mind getting my hands on. Seems just about as elusive as the "Top 35 of the 1990s - so far" that I had been forever searching for!

This week's XM-9 countdown was from 2/13/99.
Just wondering out loud, what's with all the late 90s shows? Since Christmas, I've heard four Dees shows on XM originally aired in December 1997 or later, and none that predate 1994.

In the absence of anyone else posting, the WT40 show on Sirius XM 90s on 9 for today (2/22/09) was from Feb 1998, probably the 2/14/98 show, based on my recording (I was away during the broadcast but listened when I got home-so I didn't see what was displayed on my XM receiver when the show broadcast). At the beginning of the show, Rick played the previous week's top 5 and they corresponded to the top 5 of the Casey's Top 40 for 2/7/98.

It would've likely been 2/21/98 because Rick was a week behind Casey at the time.  |

Thanks for the link, allowing us to keep track of what's being run. It's been three months since Rick and XM 90s aired anything from before late 1993, which is starting to remind me of the Dees 80s shows last summer when it seemed everything was 1988 or 89.
I like having shows from this era rebroadcast when no other countdowns from that time are, but I don't get why there seems to be so much "bunching" of shows from a couple of years week after week.
(Updated: this weekend we did get something a bit different: 2/26/94.)

I think it was one of the March 1997 shows.

Whatever it was, I missed it because I set my XM-Inno to record it and instead it showed "Scanning Files" during the recording time, and nothing got recorded.
Last week it was (yet again) 1999, though it was interesting to hear Britney Spears at #1 with her very first hit; ten years later and she's back up there, though with plenty of bumps along the way.

The Rick Dees Show for this week was January 5, 1992 (it follows the same chart used for the Casey's Top 40 show of that date--both shows used Radio and Records CHR. ) Apparently, 90s on 9 doesn't have a show closer to this week in 1992.

You're right, Shad. The sure shot matches the one for the chart you link to.

The 90s on 9 screen says it was from "3/91", but that can't be. The chart is clearly late 1991 or early 1992, though I couldn't figure out exactly which week without the link given. At least we finally got an early 90s show this week, even if it doesn't match this particular week.  |
