It was #2 for the year of 1995. Thats all the proof you need to know 1995 sucked musically. Yes, it was the #2 song of 1995, sadly; yet it peaked at #5 on CT40. That song sucked and still does. And I agree that 1995 was the Cadillac year for awful music, let alone the remainder any year between 1991 and 2001. No wonder the original run of AT40 got cancelled! After 1991, there was nothing worthy of me listening to until 2002. What an awful period for music! And I know of proof that either CT40 or Rick Dees' WT40 may not have depended on the R&R Charts around 1997. The Spice Girls' Spice Up Your Life entered the Rick Dees' countdown at #40 one week, but never made it to CT40. Why didn't Spice Up Your Life make it to CT40? Was it due to the song not being released as a single or some other criteria that forbid that song from entering CT40? Or was it due to CT40 using a different chart format that is not R&R? I liked 92 & 93. It was when the chart slowed to a crawl and just a lot of personal stuff that took me away from music a lot after that. I also pretty much think everything in the last 10 years can't hold a candle to what was before it. Everyone has their own tastes though. The saddest part of that year was IMO the best song of 1995 had to play second fiddle to that fat *ss and his harmonica. "Kiss From a Rose" was in my opinion the #1 song of the year. Speaking of which, it was #1 for the year on the Dees countdown. But again, knowing he is one for moving songs around just because they feel like it, he may have done so here too. I'd have loved to be in that production meeting. "Huh?! This is the top songs of year?! This blows. I'm going to try to make lemonade out of these lemons. Let's make Kiss from a Rose #1!" |

At one point, didn't Rick use the R&R CHR Rhythmic Chart instead of R&R CHR Pop Chart (like CT40)? Someone posted here about an episode where Michael Jackson's "Blood on the Dance Floor" was played on the WT40 at some point in 1997?

^ My guess is, it was a game of "pick and choose", which wouldn't be that hard to believe...

Wasn't R&R's Top 3 something like, #3 - "Kiss From a Rose", #2 - "Run-around", #1 - "I Know" by Dionne Farris? I think I remember from seeing Rick's year-end chart that "I Know" was moved to somewhere down in the teens, which if you ask me isn't very excusable. But speaking of "lemons", I've also heard about his reaction to The Ghost Town DJs' "My Boo" when that fell off the chart...  |

If it was below 5 I would say that was inexcusable. |

I'm guessing that Rick still used a combined CHR chart, like it was before it split into CHR/Pop and CHR/Rhythmic. |

"Spice Up Your Life" peaked at #41 in R&R in late 1997. So apparently Rick had stopped using its chart by then. Rick was known for playing with the chart. As far as I know he was still using it then. Did most every other chart week line up song by song? By then, Rick was mostly using R&R, but changed around positions from time to time (hence "Spice Up Your Life" making the top 40, among others.) ^ My guess is, it was a game of "pick and choose", which wouldn't be that hard to believe...

There is nothing clear of what chart they use right now. Once Rick jokes about the compile the songs according to what they like or not. Whatever it is, the list is fresh and quick, no the way AT40 is, when you see old songs from ages like that one by Cee Lo whoever, Forget you in the low part of the chart, the song is Ok, but it is old so far. The Cee-Lo Green song finally dropped off AT40 this week. Now, if they could only get rid of Taio Cruz' "Dynamite", which has been on for 69 weeks, including 4 weeks at #1 in September 2010. In the mid-90s Radio & Records didn't use a recurrent rule for Casey's Top 40, so a lot of songs stayed on there, and presumably also on Rick Dees' show, for months past their peak. But I don't think anything hung on for over a year! CHR or HAC? |

^ Yeah, the only 80s show from November on there is 11/22/86.
You can count the number of 80s shows on there not between June and September on one hand: 11/22/86, 10/12/85, 2/16/85.

Well, AT40 this week is 11/21/87, and SiriusXM Big 80s is also '87 - I'm willing to bet it's also 11/21. Will Rick make it 3 for 3?
