Rick Dees WT40 Chart Archive

[HolidayGuy]

Thanks, shadster. I also had seen that you can advance through the countdown when listening to it online on Dees' site (jumping from "part" to "part"). Previously, I thought you had to listen to the whole thing.

I don't know if Dees' show airs in the Northeast PA area anymore; AT40 airs, though.

My thoughts that are Rick's show also probably airs on less Rhythmic or Urban leaning Pop stations that the AT40 counterpart, and might also air on Hot AC-leaning stations, or in more conservative areas even. If we had a list of stations that aired the show, we could see, but my thoughts are maybe that's why certain songs don't make the chart.
It's VERY possible that Rick Dees' chart isn't centred on being accurate but instead providing a source of 4-hour entertainment for radio stations that choose to play it. Why is that such a problem? We have access to the accurate charts online already. Do we need Rick to confirm it for us? Do we have to have the same conversation every week?

Only thing for sure is that Rick Dees is a big liar. Why do we need these chart datas at all, why he calls his chart top 40, when it aint. Yes we should have this topic every week until it's straight, Rick Dees crossed the line big time this time not playing a song in the top 40 when it actually reached top 15!!!!! He is a big liar and his chart isnt a chart, it's just random songs played. And what leanings are you talking about, is there a new category - pop, rhytmic, urban and then rick dees category ... ahahahahaaaa you make me laugh. He is a part big network company an he is lying to all those radio stations which means lying to all those millions of people. Kanye's and other deep urban songs reperesent certain culture in America, which means that Rick Dees is avoiding this ethnical group, lets see what they think about this. Some people are counting yearend point of his chart - whats the point of this, when ITS A BIG LIE!!!!!

Lol. Never mind. It's not worth it.

I'm with Rick Dees on this one. If artists are gonna put out music with obscenity in their titles and then those songs don't get played, that's their loss. Maybe next time they'll think twice before releasing a song with "N*****" in the title.

[oinapead]

Its not about the title, but the music style. Rick has in his chart the song named Middle Finger.

I will cover this in more detail as far as other radio countdowns boycotting this song in another post. Let's just say Rick not the only avoiding this one along with radio stations.

I can not agree with the statement that saying N****** is the same as saying middle finger. Nevertheless, Damien (on the MTV Weekend Countdown) had a interesting comment about the content about the "Middle Finger" song. The next week, it was removed from the show and since hasn't returned. Hollywood Hamilton has also dropped "Middle Finger" after a short run. Considering it was Cobra Starship coming off a huge hit, the content explains why "Middle Finger" is having a tough go adding spins & stations.

We have recent news stories about Rush calling Sandra Fluke "sl**" & ESPN guy calling Lin a "ch***". When you get into race and gender, you either lose your job or need to offer an apology.

Error on the safe side and don't play the song seems to be the rule not the exception with Cumulus stations.

Are you serious? It's not even that big of a deal. It's just a weekend countdown show. If it really outrages you that much, you should not listen to the countdown or follow it anymore.

What makes you such an expert and an authoritarian on all these things? Do you have all this experience? Are you in the industry? Can you make them change everything to your liking because you say so and you are such an influential, authoritative industry expert?

Wow...I'm speechless. You're basically calling Rick Dees a racist for not playing "Paris" on the Weekly Top 40. I guess, you can add The Weekend 30 with Billy Bush and Sirius Hits 1 Weekend Countdown with Spyder Harrison to the list of racist broadcasters.

Now, if Nick Cannon does not play "Nothing" by The Script on his Pop/CHR Cannon's Countdown show, would you go some far as to call him a racist for not playing that Top 15 song.

Well, guess what...he never played the song on his Top 30 (four hour) countdown. He also didn't play "Heartbeat" by The Fray or Coldplay and even Nickelback's "When We Stand Together".

OTH, he made sure Paris hit the Top 5 so he could play it twice in a one show. He also made comments about the both teams in the Super Bowl having white quarterbacks and "Pumped Up Kicked" was only successful because it was done by a white group.

The point is you can create a story isn't there by splicing it anyway you want. Each show of 8 national CHR/Pop aim for certain audiences to keep their show vital in the marketplace. Yes, I'm including Pererz Hilton's Fab 30 along those eight. Yes, the blogger has a national radio countdown show in both HAC & Pop versions.

If you like an urban leaning CHR countdown, check out Cannon's Countdown each week.

If you a personal chart approach, check out Perez Hilton's Fab 30.
The countdown show features the top entertainment stories, juicy gossip, celebrity guests, fashion commentary and more as only Perez can deliver. This four-hour weekend countdown show broadcasts from Los Angeles and features hit music as selected by Perez himself, plus Hilton’s unique take on entertainment.

If you like oldies, check out AT40 with Ryan Seacrest.

If you like a countdown "recorded in real time that doesn't sound taped and concentrates more on the music and real artist information", check out The Weekend 30 with Hollywood Hamilton.

There's something for everybody and through streaming you can listen to shows in markets that you don't live in. Everything is available at your fingertips and enjoy the power of radio.

Or you can do like so many of us already do and make your own chart. I've had my own chart for 17 years now and it's going as strong as ever. I don't even really pay attention the national charts as much anymore the way I do my own. It's great! Try it!

(NIP almost made my Top 10).

Very good point, I became so upset with AT40 several decades ago that I started my own chart as well. The power of a personal chart is so rewarding. NIP is still climbing my Top 200+ should be approaching the Top 40 soon.

[oinapead]

Playing a song in big network top 40 chart show means money and big publicity, if Rick Dees is cheating and lying and not playing a song which is in top 15, that means he isn stealing money from this artist and I mean big money, Rick Dees is stealing it from the artist. If the song crosses over to top 40, then it will get big sales. Rick Dees is part of that money game.

We had last year or something 2 songs with F word going to nr one, Rick Dees palyed those, I wonder why if he is such a saint. If you follow his chart closely, then you will know that he is skipping mostly urban songs or charting those very late, please do the research and you will know.

[oinapead]

How come Madonna's "Give Me" single is at nr 17???? Rick Dees chart is a joke and can't be taken seriously.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

You're the only one here that takes it seriously.

[oinapead]

I think people have to take it seriously, there are different reasons for this. One reason is human rights, because if we won't protect our rights to say something or our opinion won't matter, then big corporations will eat us up. And this case is all about big corporation(hopefully some people here who protect Rick's action are not part of this radio network) who will do whatever it wants to do, whatever people say. Does this big corporation need people - of course he needs, because that's where the money comes from. So it's the 2way street, we just have to clear our way. Rick Dees top 40 is one of two main chart shows in US, the other shows somebody mentioned here are marginal shows and won't effect much in music business and radio landscape, but Rick Dees does. But he can't do this without people, he needs listeners, otherwise he will be dead(the show I mean), but please Rick don't forget that you need those listeners, otherwise you will be finished soon, otherwise we will have ońly one top40 opportunity, AT40 with this Ryan guy, whose show is total crap, even if he plays Kanye, Big Sean and other ultra urban songs. I don't understand why some variety in Rick Dees show would be such a big problem, everything doesn't have to sound the same. Let's look up to big personality in this sense - Casey Kasem.

MTV plays videos and this Hamilton guy is a marginal chart show, not too many on this board follow this chart, only now when somebody wants to protect Rick Dees hillarious chart action, they come up with this Hamilton show. What is the point - it is that charts base on how much the song is played on radio, obviously Madonna is not played that much.

It is kinda senseless go back & forth about nothing. I will give just five minutes of my time that's all.

What gets my goat is calling Hollywood Hamilton marginal. His countdown show has been on-the-air since 1999. It's in three formats per week (Pop/Remix/Rhythmic CHR). He's in several major markets including the near-by KDWB (Minneapolis/St. Paul). He receives at least 75,000 text votes every weekend for his chart.

Plus, he really gives away promotion stuff for free. I have CDs from him like the Britney Spears latest release. Go to his facebook account tonight at 9 p.m. and you just may win a CD or concert ticket. The other option is to stay on this site say how little he is. Personally, I prefer free stuff.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

You know what? You have a point. I think the countdown shows are racist against white people because they don't play the popular rock and country hits either. Those make the billboard charts, why don't they make the AT40 and Rick Dees charts? Human rights , indeed!!

This thread is fun!
Stiil seems to me a marginal countdown. Madonna's song is falling off the official radio play data top 40, that's all I know, I don't know where from the others get their data, but I know for sure that Rick Dees chart data is not based on songs popularity, but on his subjective will or you can say on nonsense.

[Top 40 Tracker]

Wow. What a discussion. Anyway, didn't Madonna hit top 10 on the official USA chart...the Billboard Hot 100? I would expect her song to begin a rapid decline on the weekly top 40 beginning next week. Remember, the song jumped up 6 notches on AT40.

One more thing...the only true countdown shows are the ones airing on Country radio stations.

Billboard combines airplay and sales, in AT40 chart its barely 30ies and on mediabase chart it never got higher than 23, Dees chart has her highest "airplay" position than on anything else and this is just not true, it's nothing, it's nonsense, it's made up. On Dees chart the song debuted at nr 19(not possible) and then rised next week to 18(to show that the big debut was credible it rised 1 place, but not to show the big lie it didn't rise much more) and this week it rised again one place(to show again that the chart has some credibilty), it's all some questinable chart game by Dees, eventually to show that the chart is accurate and to hide all those fabricant movements in the chart. Rick Dees chart is a big big fun, because it's about clouds and doves not music:)

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Odd. I hear music when I listen to it but maybe my head is in the clouds.

[HolidayGuy]

What does Dees say his countdown is based on? That's what you have to look at. And is his not accurate, in your eyes, oinapead, because of one track that's ranked higher on his countdown than it is on others, and because he does not include the Jay-Z/Kanye track?

[oinapead]

These are only recent drastic missteps in Dees chart, actually it hasn't been accurate for years, when was the last time Rick Dees used official airplay data, as i remember it was Radio and Records data, but what year he finished using it don't know. Recent years it has been a very big mess...

[oinapead]

I'm actually really curious what chart data Rick Dees is using. But it's not worth asking it, because we all know that he is using no real airplay statitistics, because otherwise there would be no chance not include Kanye and Jay-Z song in his chart, which in my opinion is a very good song if we are talking about infectious and inventive pop music.

[HolidayGuy]

^No airplay chart (or popularity chart) is about "infectious" and "inventive," though. :)

[oinapead]

Yes you are right, there is less and less quality pop songs, that makes it even sadder that Rick skipped one.

Three highest songs on Mediabase top 40 chart not played on Rick Dees weekly top 40 are:
1. Kanye West and Jay-Z "Paris"
2. Tyga "Rack City"
3. Drake "The Motto"
Here is the answer why Dees didn't include Kanye and Jay-z in his personal chart, is that it sounds too different, it's not about words, but simply the sound as he doesn't play different sounding urban, especially rap songs. If somebody says that it's pop chart and not urban music chart, then I will remind them that those songs have crossed over to pop chart. I guess in Rick Dees sense there is no point of songs crossing over, he still refuses to have variety in his personal music chart show, even this Hollywood Hamilton played Jay-z and Kanye West. Another fact how extremely Rick Dees violated pop chart is that next week "In Paris" will go recurrent in mediabase chart, which means that in real and actual American pop music top 40 chart the song has been already 20 weeks - that big is Rick Dees violation, especially towards great rap music which is happening right now.
