we're talking about the first challenge (as for any song is NOT CURRENTLY in chart, as former songs already dropped off) as it was a sped up song even lot of people are struggling for this. How can this be Madonna - Material Girl?!!! This song was already at #2 in the charts Mar 16, 1985. it's already too late for this since new show had updated last night.  if this airs again next year, and the sped up song for the first challenge, you'll see what I'm talking about.

i asked a friend of mine in facebook and they think it is Tina Turner - What's Love Got to Do With It

kani, with all due respect, I do believe I understood your question, and to confirm my answer, I plugged the portion of that segment (I'll call it segment 1-2, which is hour 1, segment 2, and the challenge is later repeated near the end of segment 4-2) in a DJ app I have.  Granted, I had to re-record it twice at the slowest speed possible, but it is indeed "Material Girl".  This isn't the only time Rick has played then-current charting hits as "Speedy CD's" in his shows.  I also happened to have the show because I recorded it last year, so I was able to go back and listen.

Sorry I was late to the party - I just registered for the boards last night.

as kani almost predicted, the show is airing again this year. Countdown was that your first post on March 17 when you said it was "Material Girl"? So almost a year for you on the board. But you did what Rick told you not to do and slow down the clip! Of course we may have never gotten the answer if you didn't. Wonder if he was right when he said after Madonna's other song "Crazy For You" that its 18 notch jump was the biggest in WT40 history? Could be I suppose. He cut that off big time though. Most of the songs were cutoff and I found out why when they played "We Are the World" as an extra. In the 90s show this week from 1995, Ms. Ciccone is #1 but he only credits her with 14 #1 hits. She had/has 15 according to R&R. So he did make a mistake about Madonna there.

^It might not have been my first post, but pretty early on - I think my first one may have been in the "What Show Are You Listening To Right Now?" thread (which seems to be a majority of my posts of late, since I have a lot of them). Or it may have been the post before the one you quoted. Yes, I know I cheated on that one, but it was the only way I could figure out which song Rick was playing!

[kani]

The current countdown extra for both formats is missing an extra between #7 and #6, but the AC Top 20 played an extra between #7 and #6. Maybe perhaps bad editing issues..

If anyone from Rick.com is listening, please play the March 24, 1990 show next week. I'm a guest DJ on it!!

No offense, don't get your hopes up, it ain't happening. I mean I would love it if they aired that show, i just don't see it.

Unfortunately as of this year Rick Dees retros 80s and 90s are suffering from airing year to year last year repeats in autopilot that barely most people talk about it nowadays. You can try going [e-mail], but most chances are they won't likely respond to your request. I could see most of radio stations will be dropping the WT40 affiliates soon

I"m not getting my hopes up. But they did air it a few years ago and I missed it. So I know they have it digitized and its not a "missing" show. We'll find out soon!

It looks like this may be the trend for 2017 as well. Dates are off a few days but you get the general idea. Keep this page number in mind to know the upcoming scheldule in case Rick does repeat this cycle again.

jericho just to be aware there has been airing 1980s and 1990s repeats as I posted the schedule.  But the exception is April schedule for 80s last year hasn't followed Apr 2015 schedule, as Apr 12, 1986 last year played two times. If 2016 aired Apr 80s, it may follow up this year as well.. Thus sadly they won't air Mar 24, 1990 if youre going to ask that. One time aired in 2011, but later hasn't aired since.  Sadly mid 2015 has fallen for airing repeats, but before that it has been some consistent.

Oh well. I went ahead and emailed at Rick.com to request this show. It can't hurt to try.

In addition being on the WT40 show I think I might have been on a the sister show "On The Line" from 1989-1990. Rick Dees actually called my house after I called his 800 number and left a message. I had a chat with Mr. Dees and his crew for a few minutes and they may have used that recording. Since my local station didn't carry "On The Line" I never knew though.

Oh I didn't know you actually talked to Rick Dees in the past.  Yeah you could try to email to him. Even when I tried to email him many times, he did not respond to me. I haven't actually met him at all because he doesn't know me personally when I emailed him.  So if you know Rick Dees, and I hope he remembers you, you can try to email him for request.  If you can, maybe you can email him, why did rick.com removed the charts link display from the current shows

This was over 25 years ago! I doubt he remembers me. He called my house in 1990 after I called his 800 number hundreds of times. (obsessed fan)

Some more sloppy editing in last week's CHR show. Rick announces the "highest debut" coming up after playing #34. However, the next song played (which was indeed the highest debut on the HAC show) was the 2nd of 4 debuts. Whatever. It's not like anybody listens anymore.

[Jessica]

Looks like both KQSR and KKMK dropped the 90s show (thank you for reminding me kani). To the best of my knowledge that leaves only one show airing the 90s show and that is KOMC. I haven't listened to either show in months so I haven't been keeping track but it's no surprise that stations are dropping the show.

Update:KQSR airing 80s show but not 90s, for now. We'll see how long this lasts.
