Rick Dees' WT40 - 12/26/09 - Top 40 of the 2000s

[Cerebro]

Yes, top 40. No super-sized decade end chart like we got ten years ago. If I were a regular listener of Dees' show, I'd probably be disappointed. I will give Rick credit for not doing the obvious, which would've been putting the song with the most weeks at #1 on top (that song had the honor of being #23).

Considering "I Gotta Feeling" was his #1 for 2009, this right here shoots down any credibility his list may have had. "Just Dance" being ahead he can/should get away with, but "Poker Face" being ahead of both, let alone that far ahead of both?

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

hahaha, that is weird. Something I plan on taking into account for any decade chart I make is to make sure anything from 2009 matches up on both my yearend of 2009 chart and the decade chart. Previous years you can get away with because they've had time to change since their respective yearend chart appearances but 2009 is up against the brick wall. Nothing can change.

Heres some exerts(sp?) from Ricks year end countdowns from this decade. Noticeably missing are the #1 songs of 2000 an 2001.

The only possible explanation for that I can think of is the compilation date for the decade-end list being earlier than the compilation date for the year-end list... either way, Rick Dees is a loon.

I hate how Apologize is credited as Timbaland.
The original version is SO much better.

Yeah, both "Everything You Want" and "Hanging By a Moment" have no business being left off. Hell, both of those would be contenders for the decade's #1 song on a legitimate list.

[BillboardBoy]

It'll be interesting to see what Ryan's decade chart looks like.

Did "Umbrella" and "Unwritten" hit #1 on Rick's weekly charts?

[Deleted]

i kinda love this chart....it looks like they consider longevity and mostly number one holders for the chart.

glad to see gives you hell and unwritten make the list and so high up there.

I thought outkast would rule the chart....
