I tried AmpedFM 3 or 4 times, they repeatedly aired the same show which is at rick.com.
It seems there are not so many stations...

That I believe. Jokes from 20+ years isn't really compelling to most people even if it is a flashback show. The sad thing of course is at least with that show you get August 88-1989, and all of the 90s.

With Rick, you obviously wouldn't get any shows from the eary 80s (which is fine w/ me actually) but it doesnt seem that Rick has any shows from 1983 or 1984, or at least they've never aired any. Perhaps that might be because the Weekly Top 40 at THAT time used Cashbox instead of R&R. *shrug* I personally dont have Rick shows from '83 and only about 5 shows from '84.

I think it's a whole lot less deep than the chart. I just don't think anyone saved those shows and they don't exist/can't find them. They never aired on XM as I recall, aren't on his website, and so far as I know have never aired on his retro terrestrial show.

My oldest Rick´s show is Feb 16, 1985 and it probably comes from rick.com

Wiki states that the show started in September 1983, but doesn't say when he started using Radio & Records (actually, they don't give any information on charts he used). When did he start using R&R?

January 1985. He used Cashbox at the time of the 1984 year-end (matched theirs with Prince "When Doves Cry" at #1), but on the 1/26/1985 show, he was clearly using R&R (Chicago was #1 with "You're The Inspiration"). |

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! |

The most weeks a song spent on Casey's Top 40 was 45 (Run Around by Blues Traveler in 1995-1996)

It was #2 for the year of 1995. Thats all the proof you need to know 1995 sucked musically.

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? |

"Spice Up Your Life" peaked at #41 in R&R in late 1997. So apparently Rick had stopped using its chart by then. |

Did most every other chart week line up song by song? |
